    Well I ALMOST bought a Pivot Firebird...

    About to say, researching the wheelset more seems the DT E2000 wheelset on the sanction doesnt appear to a 5.1 or 6.1 rim at all.

    Well I ALMOST bought a Pivot Firebird...

    Well im about ~205lbs with gear. I have not had a tendancy to trash wheels or blow the bead off. The spin's are ~2400grams as a 135mm wheel set, i havent dug to much into wheel set weights, but what would you say a typical value based wheelset build with the purpose of being a strong all...

    Well I ALMOST bought a Pivot Firebird...

    Well worse comes to worse i have Spinergy's Fall Line wheelset that i can use off my VPX thats not to heavy. Maybe just sell the DT wheelset right off the bat brand new and get as much as i can for them and run my Spin's? Im fairly certain ill be selling the seat and seatpost right off...

    Well I ALMOST bought a Pivot Firebird...

    Well I ALMOST bought a Pivot Firebird...

    ...To replace my Intense Uzzi VPX as a do it all AM bike. Im pretty sure i would have been very happy with it after i spent a fair amount of time and money building it right. But i came across this deal at nashbar, for a 2011 GT Sanction 1.0 with a nasty parts spec at what i feel is an...

    Short cage rear der a bad idea on a long travel bike?

    Ahh good point, the AM bike is going to be a dual front ring, obviously the zaskar is going to be a triple.

    Short cage rear der a bad idea on a long travel bike?

    So what would you do here... So I am building 2 bikes, a long travel all mountain bike and my old zaskar. I have a new set of 2011 X9 shifters and short cage rear der, and some 2005/06 XTR shifters with a med cage XT rear der well used. My original thought was to run the new X9 group on...

    looking for a long-travel AM/FR frame to replace uzzi vpx

    I am in your exact situation, have a VPX and looking to jump into something else. I have my eye on a Pivot Firebird and a Gian Reign. Both look great, and go-ride has both on closeout right now.

    Looking for a good single crown air fork

    The Vengeance has absolutely blown me away. I was thinking that maybe since i havent had alot of expereince with new age air forks that this may just be the norm. I recently picked up an GT Force with Fox Float R 140mm fork. This is not a direct apples to apples comparison because of...
