Mitch21 Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) Dont have the current specs of my bike, but its a Specialized Big Hit. I'm planning to upgrade a number of things on it sometime, including the paint job This is my plan, tell me what you think: From this:http://www.jacksbikes.com/contents/media/specialized%20big%20hit%20fsr%201%202008.jpg To something like this: Did it in photoshop, as you can see I'm quite a fan of the new Demo finishes So I plan to get new forks, rear suspension, bars, and brakes on my Big Hit.

DownhillingKing Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 If you covert the Boxxer RC to Air is it then lighter than the WC as it will have less in it?

patches Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 that's a very sweet sled MissionS Patches: howz those nukeproof rims doing? yeah, that is a sweet sled MissionS. What's with only having a rear brake though... is it a dirt jumper thing, hahaha @ Cap, Nukeproof wheels are awesome! I was gonna custom build some Spank tweet-tweets onto hope pro II's... but then I would have to wait 2 weeks for the build, and it would cost me 1.5x what the nukeproofs do. So I'm very happy.
DownhillingKing Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 How easy is it converting to air? Apparently it is pretty easy as sram brings out the seals kit for warrenty replacements for the Boxxer world cup.
