ahhh me to! theyre awesome, but i prefer the faster DH1 and DH2, DH3 is cool for messing around on. You still on your AC Panik? what is it like?

Panik: I downloaded it when it was still available via Mpora.com. I can't find it there anymore. It's in .mp4 format, so it's more like Very HQ than proper HD. Damn well shot and easily one of the more enjoyable riding movies out there. Makes you want to get out there and just shred..

 

 

 

Since Panik seems to be the jumpmeister, maybe he could assist me with them...?

Hey evreyone, I need some help! my 550lbs coil on my shock at the moment is a very pup one, so I want to get a new 550, but now I dont want a linear spring rate, I want eather a double rate or triple rate coil, where could i get one from? (new)

 

Or would it just be better to get the linear one off CRC

Good to see the old horse in good use smiley1.gif

 

I had a frustrating weekend. Raced the GP DH champs at Helderkruin. Had issues with my gears skipping (very pedaly course) on Sat. Put a new shift cable on last night, set the indexing, rode it a bit... tried to pre stretch it a bit, checked the hanger etc... but I reckon the derailleur (105) is toast. Kept skipping in my race run smiley11.gif

 

Worst part is, I have a Saint shifter and derailleur on the way smiley5.gif

 

I learned one more lesson from this weekend: if you want to compete on a decent level, you need good parts. Not some good parts, you need a completely dialed bike. Don't mess around with sketchy sh*t, it will cost you time!

 

Fun weekend of racing though, ended with 2nd in Elite.
