Ooooh, how long until you get a Jade for the Darkside?

How long. That.. is THE question.

Maybe end of term.. (or next pay lol)

Either way, not long... :bounce:

Maybe I'll wreck my DB first like you did.. then I'll HAVE TO buy a Jade?

Edit: I just sent NSDynamics an email so we'll see how long I can last. Thanks for prompting action Daz.

Update: $850 which isn't bad considering the usual places are about $100-200 more.

Got a 'levery today. Going to try it on the darkside for a little while.

 

[Ideate]

Last time they were matching.

Today. Has anyone ever blown a tyre right off when setting the beads with the air compressor? It's scary.

 

[Koper25]

Nice. What wheels did you get? I've actually finally ordered new wheels for my Operator now that there are more dints than straight rim lol.

LB 38mm DH hookless. They'll look like M90's soon

Did you get an 823?

 

[Koper25]

Oh nice, they look super wide, should be fun. Yeah I went 823's on Hope Pro 2 Evo hubs. Finally going tubeless lol.

 

[Ezkaton]

Finally going tubeless lol.

Get it going on the Process too ya slacker.

 

[Ideate]

Looks like a fat! The tyre clearance is slightly better on the spitty using the 26" dropouts vs the darkside. Might just leave them on there instead..

Pedal strike last weekend riding with Ezka. He just missed the action and caught me on the ground around the bush..

Aaaaaarrrrrrrrhhhh.. Aaaaaarrrrrrrrhhhh. lol


Tonight the missus asked me what the fuck I was cooking in the kitchen "it stinks!!". I said nothing.. Just a midnight snack. Probably shouldn't have used her Stanley Rogers pan..

Took a temp reading out of curiosity..

Brakes work like new again

That's one mean stack. I fucking hate pedal strike crashes; it feels like being bodyslammed

+1 No warning is the worst bit.

 

[Ezkaton]

+1 No warning is the worst bit.

Especially when it's a trail you've ridden countless times, then one day you're on the ground and have no idea how.

What do you think about the coil over the air? Had the dbaircs all last season with no complaints after 4 years of dbcoils on different bikes. Been thinking of going back to the coil for this season
