This is going to be a toss out for FT, Profo, threepointtwo, and any of the other old guys that rode Yeti DH-9's.

I am trying to track down frame weight on a DH-9 frame. I know there is a touch of irony in me now knowing this, but since all of my old posts were deleted, I can't search for any of the frame reviews I did back in the day.

I know it was in the ~12# range, but my 303 is coming in near the same at 12.75# and the 303 is notably heavier than my DH-9 was.

I've done the MTBR, RM, Google, Yetifan, PB, etc. searches and have come up with nothing. If you can remember of can find a reference, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Mark

While we're at it, does anyone remember which spark plugs fit in a ford model T?

 

[stoney]

Have I called you an ass-hat lately?

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

I have a buddy who has one. I'll ask.

If it's a large, ask him if he wants to sell it...

 

[jackalope]

Ok, now somebody get a frame weight.

 

[LOOnatic]

Really far out idea but have you tried calling Yeti?

Not in a while.


I'm probably due.

None of your lip! Plus this gives me a secondary route to find people with frames that I can solicit purchase from.

 

[LOOnatic]

A mutual friend of profro has his old frame and would probably sell. It *might* be a large. Ill call him and see what he says but its gonna cost you a hoody..

 

[profro]

Medium. However I don't remember frame weight. But thanks for remembering I used to ride one. That bike was rad. If it was a bit shorter and lighter I'd still be all over that frame.

If you're talking about the push shock frame...the one I owned (Schwinn version) was about 11-12 pounds (large). Are you looking for exact weight?
FYI... I think the guy i sold it to is now selling it.

Thanks for the weight info. If you know where the guy is or have his contact I would appreciate it.

Profo - You know any of the Windrock guys that might still have one floating around? I can't find any, and I don't really know anyone plugged into Yeti in CO. Well, FT, but he's impossible to track down. Does anyone have his email or phone?

 

[schwinnstr8]

Here's his listing from CL
http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/bik/2263081425.html
And he has it listed as a medium...but its a large.

Didn't the Schwinn have an issue with cracking?

I can't find any, and I don't really know anyone plugged into Yeti in CO.

What about John P? didn't he just get hired by Yeti?

If it didnt hurt my wrists, id be racing it, Its an extremely great bike, surprised we dont see so many rotecs floatin around.

The HA is 65.5 with a pretty high BB. I like long, low, and slack which the Rotec isn't.

That's nothing, you should see a large.

HA is 65. Throw on the super slack angleset or offest cups and viola. 49" WB, 13.7ish BB, 63.5 HA bike.

Is it a foolish question to ask why not get one of the several bikes that fit what you're looking for?

I forgot about the angle cup. Doesn't it need to be a 1.5 to work? Also, concentric bb pivot vs behind seat tube pivot leads to different feel. I'm looking at straight 8 frames too.

 

[Full Trucker]

Yeah... I'm super impossible to track down.

And I'll ask a buddy who HAD one for sale, but now that I think about it, it's probably a medium. Most folks I know that rode 'em had mediums, since that size seemed to fit anyone up to about 6'11".

 

[stoney]

I'll see if I can get onto a medium this week, as I know of a few locally. If a medium works, my life just got easier.

 

[Jump Chump]

Sorry to resurrect, but I'm hoping someone will help me out.

My wife's dh9 has a hairline crack on the chainstay around the pivot. It's a size small, and needless to say, it's my wife's baby (well, other baby).

I'm looking to buy a used frame or even an extra chainstay that you might have around the garage.

The rest of the bike is in great condition, so it's a shame to hang the frame on a wall.

Other question would be if chainstay on medium/large frames would fit.

Attaching pic of bike from back in the day.

Thanks!

It's 1 1/8? Last year too? I remember there were some plans for a new one but were scratched. Worst case scenario you can use offset bushings(a bit below 1 deg change) If the headset is intergrated it is possible to make a 1 1/8 anglecup.
