lol. so u blew off work for sailing?? oh the stories u can tell your kids oneday Mint dude:u my hero

[DownhillingKing]

Well hopefully in the winter I will be coaching and that pays a *** load better than being a sales man in a bike shop. Whats the diff between a 4X and slopestyle bike?

[Capricorn]

not much dude. AFAIK, there is zero difference in geometry. it's all in the travel. Obviously, the geo's for lower travel suspension will be reflected in hte HAs. but that's about it.

 

what kinda coaching?

[DownhillingKing]

Teaching people how to sail a boat. I get to drive a rubber duck around in circle for a hole day and get paid for it. How much travel does a 4X bike have

[Capricorn]

i reckon between 4 - 6" of travel up front, with either HT or low travel at the rear. If u see how they hit those rollers, u understand why a hardtail makes sense.

[Capricorn]

for some reason, i think Your Name Here will be more clued up about this..

[DownhillingKing]

Ja no I'm sold on the scott nitrous slopestyle if I can find one

[DownhillingKing]

Dam I think they only made the scott nitrous slope style  for the team only. O and the bolt that hold my shock in place on the rear triangle snaped today.

[Capricorn]

omw murray:u have the worst luck when it comes to your sled's hardware. But it just means that u need to check things that you might not have checked, or checked properly. As long as your shock's ok, a snapped shaft aint a biggey.

Hopefully it will be a quick fix and I can ride tomorrow.
