So...who's making the dual disc fork to mate up to the hub?

That RST Space will be wicked on my Bamboo DJ rig.

Duh! It's a flip-flip wheel. I know I burn through discs on my gnartastic downhill runs and always wished I had a spare.

Cool, instead of just flipping over when I hit my front brake hard, I'll launch.

One of the shops I deal with in my area has a Specialized demo that has a wood grain paint job,or it may be full decal. Either way its a Bad @ss looking bike.:love:

I wonder if I still have that old issue of Rod & Custom that shows how to do that? Think I might try bringing back airbrushed murals instead, though :D

Wood grain with the word "Space" on it just seems contradictory.

Crank Bros Iodine wheelset, will match nicely and sunline "blue" handlebars could accent a black frame. Hmmmmn

I was just talking about dual disc. Since yamaha seems to do dual disc on all there bikes (at least sport bike idk about anything else) I kinda figured it would leak to mtn bikes eventually. Not that it necassary but still kinda cool
