[urgent] Trail/ DH spec?

[Jay_Patriot]

Hello all,

(I have moved this thread to Parts/stuff because i wasn't getting much from general)

I have recently been shafted over FARKIN, (item not as described ) and I have made do with what i have acquired.
I was geared up to build a Hardtail DH bike, however after buying what was described as a "Norco Manic" turned out a "Norco One25"
I am a bit disappointed.
So now, After a chat with Dallas at Breakaway Cycles in Morisset (legends ) he suggested I turn it into a "trail bike".

X-9 Drivetrain (Super- Short)

- X-9 Trigger shift
- X-9 rear Derailleur
- Shimano 9spd Chain
- Shimano 9spd Cassette
- FSA Platinum Pro BB
- RaceFace Evolve DH Crankset
- Wellgo "beartrap" pedals
- Blackspire DH chainring (39t)
- Marzocchi Bombers ('02)
FSA Pig Headset
Hussefelt Bar's and Stem
Sunlite OHJC (Older Generic) Wheelset (soon to be changed)
Haye's Nines (coming soon)
Norco One25 frame mad


so, Is the trail Idea Feasible?
(By trail I am talking moderate downhill, little to no hucking, and jumping gaps and few doubles, essentially riding in the bush (not park or street))

If in your opinion it is, What will i need to add to this bike?

Cheers,

Jackson

PS - rode it for a few hours yesterday, goes hard, and handles like a dream, it just floats

PPS- Merry christmas and all that shit for thursday

I'd say get new forks. You will deffinatley need to get new forks because if you try to do a little downhill on them you will probaly snap the little suckers.
