wesley_r Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Adam Craig's Super-D / AM rig from last year, interesting setup:http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/pro-bike-adam-craigs-giant-trance-x-advanced-sl-27012/
Iwan Kemp Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Not something you would do / build usually, but for those events it kinda makes sense. DHX RC4 & Float is a weird combo though.

Capricorn Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 why u say it's a weird combo Crow? I'm asking cos i'm not familiar with Fox shocks and forks (even though I have an RC4 lying around collection dust)

I'm asking cos i'm not familiar with Fox shocks and forks (even though I have an RC4 lying around collection dust) well, not so much a weird combo, just strange to see a burly coil shock on a trance. that caught my eye. kinda makes sense though. why o why can't we have regular superD events here  speaking of which - who's up for a western cape all mountain show and tell / "meat" and greet? maybe we hit up nitida's DS course, or Dirtopia's 4x track or Contermanskloof or Tokai - have a lekker ride, drool over everyone's sexy bikes and slap a chop on the braai afterwards?

I'm asking cos i'm not familiar with Fox shocks and forks (even though I have an RC4 lying around collection dust)Â Â 1. Coil / Air combo is difficult to balance the bike. They have completely different riding characteristics.2. DH shock, but trail Fork...doesn't make sense. I'm sure (in theory) that that fork will be better mated to a DHX Air. Or at least go Vanilla with that shock. But hey...that's in theory!

Capricorn Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Wes: u like read my mind, especially about something at Nitida. I'm still very surprised we havent yet managed to have some sorta event at Nitida yet. DS is the shiz!

DS is the shiz! Problem is, I don't think we can braai at Nitida, but nothing's stopping us from doing some runs and grabbing a brekkie or coffee afterwards  Now for the when...?
leet22 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Cap how much u looking for for the DHX? I have a manitou 3 way on the riegn and am looking weather i should change Opps just saw the price on ur ad
Capricorn Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Opps just saw the price on ur ad it's brand new, and somewhat negotiable if u really keen Leet  Wes: I've got shuttles at Contermans from 10am on sunday. afterward, I'm still keen, I'm not bro.ken that is.. but yeah, rip a few runs, then just chill at the restaurant, that's if they allow a manky bunch of riders into their establishment
leet22 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Would also be intrested in meeting up if im of and my chest is better
Capricorn Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) yeah. i'm sidelined at the moment as wel, but i just have the fevers, that annoying muscle ache, disorientation, headaches etc, but few coughs and a slightly runny nose.
