This is directed for 66, should you stumble across it.

As an owner of a hardrock with 140mm travel.. how does it climb? I mean, my last experience sucked, but I never even got it off road with that fork. Mine is a '99..

^^ Very good; hope it works well for you. Culmination of a well-researched purchase.



Oh, and I just love it when people advertise companies for free :bang:.

I want one of those so bad. Sooner or later my bike is going to become a 1x8, I never use anything but the middle ring anyway.

I really need to quit shopping for bike parts. I want to replace this crappy squishy fork that came stock on my GF since I bottom it out every ride and it really feels no different no matter how I adjust it. While looking of course I want something like a Domain or Pike to put on it and keep it turned down to around 100mm to not throw off the geo but I fell in love with the Sette Flite, not the best FS bike out there but probably a good beginner FS and a step up from my GF HT

@Dminor - so far I have put a fair amount of miles on it. No chainslap at all, and I have not had the chain fall off or bounce around at all which is great. Now I have an XT front derailleur and SLX chainrings sittin around.

@craigx3 - Correct.

@MindlessDeviant - It's pretty cool to have, though I wish I knew the price jumped 30 bucks before it was ordered. Ah well. I'm going to get a new fork too, probably a pike.

@Dminor again - is your signature actually your truck or something computer done?

It's mine. '79 F-150 shortbox 4WD. Was my late Dad's; I've passed it down to my son but I'm storing it for him and drive it to keep it limbered up. Has a 351 Windsor with headers and a mild cam and it likes to get out and breathe occasionally ;).

mzeffex 01-08-10 07:33 AM

Sweet!

How many front tires has it worn through?

dminor 01-08-10 01:59 PM

^^ Can't say really - - I haven't put that many miles on it in the last 5 years. I swapped out the tires it had onto a Toyota pickup I sold off and put my nice, aggressive 31x10.5s on it.

mzeffex 01-08-10 11:07 PM

I had the most epic crash today..

On the cross bike, going about 20 on the road, didn't see the black ice..

Suddenly im on the ground and went a good 20 feet. Didn't hurt then. Broke an end plug in half and tore the saddle, but for some reason, I'm not angry.

Leg's bruised like crazy though since I never let go of the bars, just went sideways on smoothish ice.

I asked because because for the longest stretch until 1998 the front end assembly's on the ford pickups were hard on tires.

nice dminor, I'm looking into a 1979 Bronco.
6'' lift, 35'' tires. dual glasspacks, and atleast a 351. Saw one I was looking at with a 400 something or nother.

lol, I was doing what you were doing Ca7, but with my 2003 Ford Expedition, FX4 XLT. Glad we have it over here, road conditions are terrible, certian parts of the base are shutting down because of it... But I don't have to many issues, even going up in the hills to see friends... the car on the other hand... ha..ha..hhahaa..... slid into a curb on a traffic circle lol.


Xmas presents to myself came in, Got a pair of oakley and Fox riding shorts, several innertubes, 5 sets of PFTE Coated cables (they're black) both shifter and brake. (they didn't give me the housings.. grrr) cable/housing cutter, casset removal tool, bike protection stuff, leg warmers, headband earwarmer thing, rear shock boot (very slushy and nasty out)... its just too big, Ill have to tailor it somehow, and picked up a chainwhip.

I take it back. I have a fracture in my left knee.

Dannihilator 01-09-10 11:14 PM

Ouch man,

Heal up quick.

mzeffex 01-09-10 11:49 PM

Thanks,

It started hurting later. Doctor said I can ride road, just not mountain for a couple weeks, so not the end of the world.
