Thumper

@ Dangle Boet I can like to be soooo fast I run A 203 up front with a 180 at the back.

@ Just Keep Pedaling - didn't schwalbe have something about that on their website a while back?

Dress for the crash, not the ride! Amen brother!

I run a 2.2 Maxxis Cross mark at the back and a 2.4 Mountain King up front. Some guys like the cross mark / Mono rail combo. Maybe Burry and the boys worry about the rolling resistance, for the rest of us its not even worth thinking about.

Go for it bud, I'm 32 and started dirt jumping in Dec! A word of advise though, wear lotsa protection. Ended up in the emergency room day before new years after coming off

Dude! Who's going to clear and collect our CRC orders if you leave?

Having a granny gear is like having a condom. I'd rather have one and not need it, than need it and not have one

My Granny Rocks!

Slap on a pair of these babies! http://www.biketype.com/pics/5531/full/crank_bro_pedal1.jpg

Dont think hitting soggy jumps would be the best idea I've ever had. On the otherhand the fall might hurt less...

Get it serviced. A while back my Fox Talas went flat, new seals sorted it right out.

The Saint is almost spot on. You ride on your lugs and sprint on your legs! You can smash your lungs to bits and they will recover in 5min but your legs .... Once they are gone they are GONE!

Just looked at those pic from you lie down again. LEGEND!!

Everybody is different. Put in a few good rides to get your base and go from there. I've hit 210 before but I have a little hampster heart.

Top marks Nagala!

A healthy dose of bravery will make up for any technical short commings you might have

You wanting to save your new chain rings?

Hmmm I see even back then you were intimidated by pure awesomness / awesome balls smothered in awesome sauce, speed and were trying to trick me

Thanks to Ngala24 I've always had my front on the right

Have a word with Dangle or Johan Borman, they should be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck bud!

There was an article in ride / bicycling a few months ago with a sort of a guy who was in the same situation as you friend. The article mentioned a frame and wheelseet. think you best bet may be to try track down the article.

Bud all you saw was that granny gear and white pant disappearing into the distance!

My XTR moves a lot so the sram wheelsuckers can't lock on a tracktorbeam

Hmmm maybe thats because you were lookin a candy and not the trail
