Ok so I'm definately way past due on an upgrade from the bighit i've been riding for the past few years, and I've been able to narrow down my search for a new frame to three different bikes. I've had the opportunity to talk with the owners of each company and I've worked out an equally good deal...
I know a few people have heard about the computer program Linkage, and I thought it'd be cool to see some different ideas that people have come up with. So if you have any homemade designs, post them here! If you're not aware of the program I recommend checking it out. It makes things a lot...
Ok, here's my scenario. I weigh 145 pounds with gear and I'm running an 8.75x2.75 DHX 5.0 on my big hit. Right now I have it sprung at 500 pounds with 150 PSI in the chamber, and what I believe is stock oil in the reservoir. The bottom out adjustment is cranked all the way up and the propedal is...
I just recently got this awesome little program called Linkage on my computer, and so far after dinking around a bit, I've come up with two frames. I'm open for suggestions, advice, or commentary as I am eagerly trying to learn more and more about frame design. Just as a side note, I designed...
Is anyone missing a new(er) red and black rotec rl9 (possibly on the East Coast)? I'm not sure the bike was stolen, but I came across an ad on another site and the price for the frame was abnormally low... It could just be a good deal, but I wanted to be sure before going anywhere with it.
Just bought a set of pro taper evo dirtbike bars for my DH bike and made some bar shims out of 1/16" thick by 1" diameter copper tubing. It looks a little bit overkill on my bike but it sure rides nice and makes it feel quite a bit easier to throw around. It's probably a little heavy for the...
Here is my work in progress, fixing it up one part at a time. I can't wait to get some real saddle time in on the new shock. I just came off a brutally abused Vanilla RC that was missing both adjusters, spewing oil everywhere, and had no dampening. Sun went down too early though for me to ride...
I have a brutally abused 2002 vanilla rc that has crapped out long ago and up to now I haven't had the money to replace it (both the adjustment knobs snapped off, all the oil has been long gone, the nitrogen tank is empty, and the spacers/reducers are about as oval as a football field).
My...
Does anybody know if the 02 monsters had sealed cartridges or not? Just wondering because I did an oil change to a heavier oil but I did't notice a difference in how it rode.
Sorry for being a suspension newbie, but how would you change out oil in a sealed cartridge setup?
Just curious what people's opinions are on these bikes... Which one would you prefer more and why? Also which is more bang for your buck? (talking used bikes here)
I have an 02 monster t which I am currently quite unhappy with because of how easy it bottoms and the lack of adjustment. I put in a super heavy oil in hope that it would fix my bottoming problem but to my surprise it did absolutely nothing! I put as much oil in as I could without creating...

I'm not sure if anyone has already mentioned this but on the ticket prices section of their website they have MTB lift ticket prices: $25 all day and $15 one way.
It's going to be sweet, only a couple hours away at most :happydance: I think I might have to watch out not to die of anticipation
