Artorius Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Hi all. Just a couple pics of my 03 Spesh Big Hit. Hayes HFX brakes.Rock Shox Boxxer race up front and Fox Vanilla R out back. Truvativ Hussefelt cranks with MRP chainguide.Maxxis High Roller 2.5" in front and an Intense 3"(yes three inch) on the back which is a 24" wheel.
Tumbleweed Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 that's different! reminds me a bit of the old fsr i used to ride.
Matchstix Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 what happened to the 3" nokian Gazzalodi's one use to get. . . is nokain still around? the had the coolest blue tires at one stage
Captain Slow Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Eish!! As they say, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder............ or something like that!!!!!
Artorius Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 Oh and the yellow rims came with the bike. Not really my 1st choice.
Joe Low Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 The Purple Nasties* were the baddies in the Yellow Submarine, this is what they would ride if they had mtbs. (*also a drink from student days - lager, cider and blackcurrant - yes, in the same glass)
Ryan Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Why do you have the 24" wheel on the back? Surely you should have it on the front that way you are always going downhill and will be faster?
Tumbleweed Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Why do you have the 24" wheel on the back? Surely you should have it on the front that way you are always going downhill and will be faster? er, no, that's not how it works...

Artorius Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 [ Why do you have the 24" wheel on the back? Surely you should have it on the front that way you are always going downhill and will be faster? HAHA. Thats how they came out the factory, the Demo's also had a 24" rear. Not sure why tho.

So why make it big? (It's meant more for like freeriding and stuff where there is more manoeuvrability required) And then.. Why 3" on the rear as well? You need more tread on the front for more grip. The rear wheel just skids behind you.
MoreTrails Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 I always thought the 24' wheel was suppose to be a bit stronger - smaller and less likely to fold....
Artorius Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 @Darnijl :Yeah i know. It was on th bike when i got it.
