Stealth, but now stealth, Banshee Rune V2 Build

[Ideate]

That is effing epic.. Where do you usually ride? Youies?

Yeah, Youies is my local but we're going to Long Gully this Sunday. Come for some shuttles!

 

[TheAzza]

I am heading up to Buller for Saturday/Sunday so will be preoccupied. Will definitely come out one day though.

Due to an increasing amount of peer pressure I bought myself a Fox DHX RC4 to try this whole coil business (Pics on page one). Rode it today and I think I am a Coilvert, although i don't think i ever got the CCDBA dialled in properly, the coil seems to be more "plug and play" and stayed very composed during everything and remained plush and bottomless while still having "pop". I wish I had it installed at Buller last weekend as I was struggling to get the CCDBA to perform how I wanted it too.

Anyone who is considering making the swap from air to coil should definitely give it w whirl, I was skeptical, but it was more impressive than expected.

Steel is real, the springy bit that is....

I probably wouldn't buy a bike in the future that I wasn't able to run a coil shock on.

Went 650b today and popped on a Pike. Pics on first page, yet to ride it .

 

[Boom King]

Just like all the others..... Pffffft.

Needs a Ti

Needs a Ti

I have a TI wedding ring. Saved heaps of weight on my finger.

Imagine the additional weight savings a whole spring would make! Should've got on board the double order and saved some bucks

That spring cost more than my entire shock, hardware, and extra springs!!

Imagine how much weight I could save by losing 6kg off my guts.

Guys.. it's not about the weight.. It's the whole reason you blokes upgraded to a coil in the first place. It's about the LOOK :hat:

Is that a Ti spring? I think I need one.

 

[Ideate]

Is that a Ti spring? I think I need one.

Yeah. I think the wider coil spacing and fatness attributes to their good looks.

I'll grab a spring bearing when you place your order. Let me know before the 31st may when you cave

Need to sell some gear first. Might have to sell the CCDBA CS to finance it?!

Can we get your comparative thoughts on 26 vs 27.5 on this thing?

Most definitely. Am going to Kinglake Sunday for a shakedown.

 

[Knuckles]

26 good 27.5 less good. :amen:
