My new Hair Rig Of a beast of a bike.

[McSweeney]

Nice upgrade, how heavy is it compared to the stinky?

Changing that tank of a chainguide to something lighter?

yeah hopefully an LG1! It's exactly 700g more heavy, i dont notice it, the rear end on the yeti is alot more 'alive' compared to the stinky. expecting it to just eat up the forest at illinbah!

 

[NEEDCASH!]

jeeeeze whats the head angle on that beast!?

Looks reeally slack...

 

[xc_machine]

So what does everyone with experience and brains think of the lawwil suspension design?

I'm intrigued

I think 65 degrees, possibly 64.5 or 64. It doesnt feel too slack when you ride it though, it does feel super low though, the whole bike feels very stretched out and low, like race style.

I had a Schwinn 4-Banger that was four inches of Lawwill. The plushest suspension design I have ridden, the 4 inches seemed endless, near vertical wheel travel, joy to ride ... I'd love a Rotec.

I agree, first impressions are insane pedalling and endless travel.. The thing bobs less than 1 cm.

Apart from saving 2kg's on a lighter bashie/chainguide what are some other plans to save weight? The XT are light, wheelset is lighter than most and The fork are responsible.
Nice bike, fresh lick of panit will make it sick and some gussets from grip would make it PERFECT

Yeah i want totems, just price is a big issue. They should save almost a kilo too!

Hey angus, oh shit if im '92 does that mean im U19's for Nats?
Oh Sweet jesus, kill me.

 

[Booost]

Yeh 1992 has to race under19s but I'm thinking about sandbagging sport.

 

[JaRedy]

oh shit if im '92 does that mean im U19's for Nats?

What does that mean? i'm 17 next year so why would we be under 19's dude.


under 19's death for me next year eek!!!
Will need a bikecycle upgrade before then.

Bloody mayo took the bext deal ever just before me.

I'm thinking about sandbagging sport.

Yeah...right.

 

[Booost]

Yeh cause under 17's in MTB means litterally UNDER 17 so us 1992 kids have to race under 19 at Illinbah as it is part of the 2008/9 season and we will be 17 next year.

 

[McSweeney]

Angus, you've seen me, i got like 23rd overall this season, if i do sport is that technically sandbagging? Or am i still shit enough to do it?

 

[Booost]

Umm haha I dunno aye don't think you'll be alone probably will race sport for just this race being a national and 19s for sunshine series, or maybe expert depending on what Ben told me.

Im not going expert, that seems worse. Im thinking sport, just to round off the year on a good note, hopefully top 10 or something, and then 19's next season.
