There's a park with colourful fences and stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownhillingKing Posted December 23, 2009 Share What rear hub does Capricorn have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darnijl Posted December 23, 2009 Share How much rise do you guys have on your bars? What's the whole deal with rise? How does it affect your riding? Is 75mm rise too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted December 24, 2009 Share Jrussel: riding Hope Pro II 12x150mm rear hub. If this one breaks, going DT Swiss 440, or Sun Ringle Lawwill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted December 24, 2009 Share the dirt jumps at UCT are incomplete as a circuit, but they fun to mess around on. I am essentially looking for a track for while Tokai is nice with it's little log jumps etc, it's a case of pedal, jump, rewind back to the top. Bit of a pain. Daniel: will go look for that DJ track u mentioned, SOunds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted December 24, 2009 Share oooo. very nice mitch. howzit going man. been a while so what's your spec level on that BH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch21 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Ya hey.. Its pretty much stock, its the 2008 one. It has the Marzocchi Z1 sport forks with 160mm of travel. They are pretty good, but I would like to upgrade them possibly in the future. It has pretty much all the stock parts, the fox van r rear shock, specialized chunder tyres (They are really nice!) and some Crank Brothers 50/50 pedals, and hayes stroker brakes.
