The Downhill Thread

[Diepseun]

hey robb if you ever feel the need to sell your shiver

 

please keep me in mind!

just love that fork!

[DownhillingKing]

Put the totem back on! With those 40mm stansions it will be a lot stiffer and lighter than the shiver.

Sweet ride Robb! Im in PE too, a couple of us want to get together and build some trails in the valley sometime, something more geared toward downhill/freeride bikes.

Ever do urban riding in town?

[Bakkies]

hi guys, 'its been a long since my last post but i'm back and riding again. I't is good to see you guys are still going strong!!

[craig82]

We need a downhill section, this thread is soooo general and getting long and out of hand.

Imagine a thread for "show off your ride here", "track building" ect.

 

Please Mr. Admin?

[Bakkies]

Cap heres your chance to make a forum for SA DHers

[Capricorn]

eh? how you figure that? thought this was the forum for SA DHers

[DownhillingKing]

You said you ran a PC forum so you must have some knowledge on how to make a forum.

 

No we have all the XC riders and roadies on this forum we need to get rid of that trash

[Capricorn]

i do, but i dont have the time to look after all the kiddies

 

rofl @ trash. that's harsh dude I wonder whois gonna take the flamebait though

 

I guess no one on the hub rides that track i'm working on cos no thanks (yet!) for that lovely little berm. And to think now i have to go maintain it! aaargh. actually, i want it a bit bigger,cos that section can be hit harder if the berm had a higher edge. Just dont fancy the assbreaking labour involved.. meh.

 

btw: when will i be invited to jump at your private track?

[DownhillingKing]

Oh right I must get the co-ordinates for you. This weekend?

[robb]

here is the totem 2step fork im having trouble with...would you guys recomend to rather convert to coil? as the fork has been serviced twice and it keeps loosing travel then the whole 2step has to be dismantled and fork re inflated every 2nd ride if it makes it that far...or where could i sent it for a service by somebody qualified as the guys in pe dont seem to know to much about this fork...thanx

[DownhillingKing]

My vote Coil. more reliable.
