Feelin' a bit rrranty
looks great! sorry about those scratches on the left lower :eek:

ps, try zip-tying your brake hose to your fork lower as well as using the little clip.. i've found them to be horribly unreliable

I race downhill on it for fun. It goes OK, can do all tracks pretty easily, though I am losing a lot of speed to my mates, which have simmilar skill levels but longer travel bikes.

Ha. Nuke Proof. Very nice man. Clearly not at all fitting considering the circumstances...
Care to enlighten us as to how exactly you fucked your forks? Going to get them 'Gripped' or just shop for new ones...? Interesting that it sheared off above the crown race...

My EXTREME crash!

Yeah, well me n Bucky went to Kandanga, had a few runs, then I just lost concentration for a sec and low sided around this turn, not very fast, 30 kph max i estimate. I was just falling down gently with my hands still on the bars, and I hear this little 'click' sound. I think "oh that must have been my pedal on a rock or something", I look down and my forks are separated! WTF! I found it pretty unbelievable. I put it down to the previous owners, (tuplang and leitch) it's all their fault!


The bike rides pretty nice with the teams on, I thought the geometry would be whack but it goes fine. 14.5" BB height, dunno about head angle, but the slacker the better yeah?
