That would have to weigh in at least the low 20kg range
Never break it though! Huck her hard my friend.

what todd here means is: " damnit i want one to match my hucker morphine "

nice buy for $1200 man, and with that spec you should be set for just about anything, might wanna get into abit of freeriding

 

[ango93]

yea man i thought 1200 was a good price, i really need a new spring for the rear shock it is a 700 pound and is killing my plush plush forks as they are the only part of the bike that moves (hence iam 54 kilos) hahahahha, thanks for ur comments guys, but please keep em going, does anyone know what i should upgrade???????

quality ride feels so smooth with those forks sure was a great buy

 

[Gruntled]

Very nice, and solid!

.

looks sweet angus, we just need to get you a 450lb spring that 700lb spring makes it ride like a hardtail!!!!

 

[Reece.]

Get a new seat and defs a new spring

 

[ango93]

hahahhahah yea i just replaced the spring this arvo with a 350 it was hard to get on as it was a little big but i got it. and yea thanks reece iam gonna get the same seat as stevo accept in the snake skin pattern.

Indestructible comes to mind.

 

[DH'er_28]

If I were you I'd start getting into some hucking, because that thing can handle anything. Anyway, nice ride

 

[ango93]

yea with the tripples this ride can handle anything! i just got the new spring on and my ride feels sooo plush! has anyone got any ideas as to how to weight reduct this beast. She is sitting at the 21 kilo mark and im feeling the pain!!!!

You have the rear travel set at 6". If you move the top shock mount back to the hole closest to the seat tube you will get 8" travel but also a higher bottom bracket. I did DH on mine with this set up (including a 888) and whilst it wasn't the best possible geo I had no major probs getting down a hill. The lighter parts upgrade question has been answered so many times before that you'll have no probs finding info after a "Search".

thanks mate i was a bit unsure because when i got the bike the rear shock was in the hole closest to the seat post and he said that it was running 6 inches of travel. thamks for the advise man
