rear tire tread is backwards (looks like it's on the recommended way but it's faster to reverse it)

[911]

weight? ...awesome bike by the way.

 

[Acadian]

nice bicycle let us know how it rides.

 

[ChrisRobin]

Don't you just love those FAT steatstays?

 

[adrenalinerush]

The weight came into 45.5 pounds.

I'll give a review once I get a actually true Dh run on it, which well be in sometime in August after I get back from Whistler. But I just got back from a ride and I can tell the BB is realy low compared to other bikes I have ridden.

 

[Edvard]

How does the Swinger react on that frame? I've heard that the SPV-technology isn't quite 'the thing' for the M-Pire..

Btw: which size is that?

Nice bike!!

 

[Orvan]

what's the head angle? and your handlebar angle?

you know ya wanna go to the race in kalamazoo, ive got room for one more

 

[BMXman]

next please...

you need to rotate the bottom of the guide back towards the bb...or that chain is going to chop right through your chainstay/seatstay....D

 

[adrenalinerush]

When you say towards the BB, that is what way, because to me that would be like puch the chain guide backwards. Do you mean turn the chain guide clock wise?

 

[adrenalinerush]

some movie style shots

This is the magnum pose

rotate it counter clockwise...so the lower pulley get closer to the BB...I will get a pic up for you soon if you want one....it really helps keep the chain off the rear end...D

 

[adrenalinerush]

Yea if you could post a pic that would be great. But I dont know if the pic if playing a trick, but the chain is not rubbing on the chainstay no near it but any mm.

 

[BMXman]

ok I will try and get one tonight...D

Dear God, It's beautiful!

 

[Eigil]

The seat-tube and head angle look perfect for climbing.

Just messin, sweet bike.

 

[adrenalinerush]

LOl funny thing is I took this bike on a ride yesterday with a bunch of xc people from the shop, that involed climbing, and I made it everyhill. But yea this bike is not intended for trails like my old Foes fly.

Hmm, is that a new kind of guide, cuz I can rotate the "boomerang" on my Evil clockwise or counter clockwise all day without the roller getting any closer to the BB...cuz it's the center of rotation.

 

[Orvan]

ugly bike altogether! Nice color though!

And I hear they pedal great!

 

[Orvan]

hard to tell... I was hiking all the climbing sections last saturday including Serpent. maybe i shld upgrade my brake levers.

ok I took a close up and the main issue I was talking about is the chain will slap against the chainstays, seatstays as well as the round welded crossbrace of the rear triangle...the part that's right after the top sliding guide...and pretty much anything else after the pivot.

It's kind of hard to explain...but if you put the top guide right next to the round hole...it makes it a lot harder for the chain to chop away at the rear end....of course this also depends on how short you run your chain and what size ring you have.

I have the shortest amout of chain I can run with a 40t chainring using a 32t rear cog with the suspension fully compressed...D
