Ill be back on the 2014 Wilson. Probably swapping my 26" Slash out for a 27.5" TR Scout though....

Yeah I have a bad habit of spending my discretionary income on dead animals too. But they're just SO good.....


Still gonna be rocking this thing until it breaks. Nothing wrong with it at all. Heavy? Maybe?

Im over here now
dead animals are easier to care for. no poop to pick up.

the bike has been great for me. im going on almost three years with the DB Air though and its finally starting to show signs of a lot of usage..mainly a squishy noise. ill be sending it to QBP this winter for a rebuild and the XV can which is what it should have had when they finally released the can. it might be "heavy" at 40lbs but i have no trouble throwing it around. i rode a friends V10c @ 34.5lbs and it was scary light..and not in a good way.

These newer light bikes seem to get tossed really easily in rough stuff. I haven't particularly enjoyed the ones I've ridden, except maybe on jumps?

in a single wide, cooking meth...
[shame upon dojo] In the process of servicing the fork, I managed to accidently push the lower crown down in such a way the corners of the pinch clamp gashed both stanchions in an impressively destructive fashion...I also spilled a buncha oil on the floor, and with the generous amount of beer in me at the time I spontaneously decided it was time to change things up...Plus, udi made me feel sad about the crude damping cart design[/shame upon dojo]

But more importantly, the Boxxer was murdered out black (although the charger cart + coil spring, weight reduction and I good deal I got didn't hurt). It's almost like kidwoo's franken-40, except my Boxxer stops halfway through the travel due to the well documented wet pasta flexiness - but at least my hands are spared the abuse from an overly rigid 40.
