Bizkit031 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 So my previous #ENDURO_RIDE is no longer mine. Can I post my not completed new #ENDURO_RIDE already ....... and can it be classified as an #ENDURO_RIDE if it more than likely will not be raced, but still do the same or similar trails Please pardon some of the polish residue that has not been buffed up yet. Nice Hairy I see you have your Geo setting on neutral at the moment,when you finished with your build you must swap it to low and high and see the difference. See the chain stay is wrapped up good I have had mine for more then a year now unwrapped and not a scratch on it.Cant wait to see this machine when it's done.

Bizkit031 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 thanks, and the chips have been swapped to go "low" geo since those pics were taken. did you find a marked difference in the ride when changing between the various geo options? Honestly I have not tried the low yet but the high yes and it makes the bike climb better and more twitchy in the rear and front steering is quicker. Honestly for most of the stuff we do here in KZN the neutral is awesome and more then enough.I have since buying mine had a warranty replacement on the frame due to issues with the anodizing and now have the 2016 model with a 1 degree steeper seat angle and I must say it has made a big difference to how it handles. I would really only change to the low setting for something like the PMB DH track that the guys did at the last National.
Hairy Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I went "low" because it is there as an optio When she is built up I will play around and see how she wants to roll.

I also went from Stumpy to Spitty and I should say that it is a total mind shift. You will hit corners twice as hard on the Spitty, trust me. Mine is also still on the neutral setting, as I want to avoid rock strikes which are plentiful here in the FS. I would love to drop her low on some smooth bike parky trails someday. Banshees rule man, I look forward to your build.
Hairy Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 while I wait to get the fork, wheels and drive train component, I have time to play. my lovely carbon csixx chain guide will unfortunately not work....so fitted a old MRP DH guide, removed the lower guide and left the upper on for now .... the real benefit is the lekker burly bash plate that has been tested before on rocky trails, and has proven it self. when the build happens, I might end up cutting off the plate and top guide and keep only the bashplate.... but we will see Pic of Carbon guide with lovely new wheels and bolts shown for reference.
Peach. Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Maybe we should start a show your banshee thread Will this work https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/158875-show-us-your-banshee-s/?p=2850745
