GENE SIMMONS! hahah this on the lake trail?
|
|
hahaha.. wed, thur, fri...6,6,6!!! AHHHH nostradamus!!!
|
|
its an orange... the tape is keeping the frame together!
|
|
Does any company make SS tensioners for dual suspension? I'm pretty sure they dont! it all depends on the chain growth. If there is little chain growth, any tensioner will work..
|
|
Well unless you ride like a girl, im not sure people are going to mistake this as being a girls bike. i like my bikes how i like my women. curvy and ready to ride!
|
|
i dont know what kind of weather you have to deal with, but if it is frequently mud and grit, replacing bearings and bushings gets old rather quick. its called innovation, and you may just see this on more bikes in the future.
|
|
looking good dude. how do you like those brakes?
|
|
Way to man up buddy! sick photo too.
|
|
Is that what I think it is in your mouth?
|
|
Yep. Shows where the valve stem is located.
|
|
Hahah This is a 2008. Specialized has 2009 bikes that look like this..
|
|
Basically the grass acted as a half filled tube. It didn't damage anything as I wasn't riding full on. It was merely just to ride to the bottom of the trail which was still 20 mins. away. If you are in a situation like I was, it will work. The bead stayed on the rim the entire time, and I was able to ride it out, which was the whole point.
|
|
Well, Sure the Saint stuff is nice, but this is a stock build, so I think they managed to do a pretty good job.
|
|
|
Amazingly enough it did work for a bit. I ended up stopping and adding a bunch of long ferns to firm it up a bit more. The grass packed together pretty quickly, but the added ferns were enough to firm it up. The tire never came off the rim once, which was a welcome surprise

Wow, you guys are there for another week and we are already seeing some soft-core porn? I hope this is a sign of things to come.
|
|
Well, I hit this drop every time I rode the trail, and it handled it fine.
|
|
its such a fun line though.. looks big but its soo smooth
|
|
I love this photo.
It makes me get butterflies in my tummy  |
|
Wow, this photo sure turned out nicely. Good job!
|
|
|
|
It seems so, but the lower section picks up right near the base of the tree that is precariously leaning.. There is about 30 feet of trail to be cut, and it will be ready to ride.
|
|
Ohhhh man. Wilson 4 is off the hook. I'm in love..
|
|
|
He was hunting the elusive beaver...
|
|
Too bad the background looks so blurred.. still sick though
|
|
Hahaha. That looks freakin amazing. I see a new trend waiting to take off... If biking doesn't work out for you, you should market those bandannas
|
|
Silver? Kakah, are you smoking something? I see Gold and black...
|
|
|
|
Wow, that is a pretty nice looking bike. Hopefully we'll see it on the podiums this year
|
|
well, on the Sunn website, the bike is called "VTT Radical Exo"... VT was a suspension platform used by giant on some of their older bikes. Also, on the Giant website, it says that the old Dh team used a "single pivot four bar linkage". By the looks of things, it almost sounds like a description for the Sunn.
|
|
|
the only difference here looks to be the rear swing arm.. Giant uses a mono swingarm(one piece) where as the Sunn uses a separate chain stay/seat stay arrangement.. instead of pushing the shock upwards as on the giant, the little knuckle pivot pushes it forward..
|
|
I really would like to know how that big rod is connected to the shock.. i would think the shock would have a tendency to just push up away from the downtube, unless there is a hidden link or something
|
|
I absolutely love the Kamloops Bike Ranch!. its just too bad its so damn windy there all the time!
|
|
|
So basically, Giant sold their old blueprints from the Dh-team, and Sunn built a newer version, with smaller tubing? dont get me wrong though, still an amazing bike,. it just seems to draw so much of it's design from Giant's old frame
|
|
take a ride, and i bet you will change your mind.
