the reba you're running was it converted to 100mm travel? the build looks great, cant wait to hear your impressions of it...I'm loving mine right now and getting more and more comfortable with it as the rides progress...just fine tuning the ride now to my liking.

[Rockinthecasbah]

yeah its been set at 100mm I was running it liek that on my soma/zion, right now I need to figure out the rear shock, its at 75 lbs or so and feels just about right maybe a lil stiff

[davidB]

i like it


how much do these frames run for?

*in the market for a squishy 29er*

[foofighter]

you dont want to know because when you know how inexpensive it is you'll want to do one as well

[Rockinthecasbah]

lowest I have seen the 08 is 799, but if you can find the 07 BUY IT the 08 shock sucks from what Ive heard and the 07 shock is fine, WebCyclery.com has the 07's still for 799 no tax

[Chewyeti]

david, i ordered an 07 for sub 8 bills.....

[Rockinthecasbah]

squishy squishy , I guess peters tommorow will be my first ride on it, kind of a funny place to take a FS lol

[XCMike]

Sweet 8 bills for a FS 29er

[Rockinthecasbah]

I rode it around peters today and got the shock and fork dialed somewhat, panracer rampages where slow as all hell on front and back, maybe Ill bump up the psi a lil
the bike rides great super active with little bob,

did you flip the tires when you mounted them to the rear? i think if you mount them like you would the front it might not be so slow?

[bighit8]

I got me a new ride today as well, that still needs to be built.You will have to wait and see!!!

[strobelite]

nice!

[Rockinthecasbah]

I mounted them with the ramps facing forward from above should I flip them ??

that's the way they recommend for the front, i'm thinking that SHOULD help it roll faster. I have it mounted the opposite right now so i'll see how it goes...i bet it'll roll like crud but brake like crazy

[Rockinthecasbah]

I think I need to up the psi , I was only running 36 or so and they recomend a higher like 40 at least

[foofighter]

that's pretty high hmm i usually run 30 for traction and comfort...hmm

[Rockinthecasbah]

hmm o well, I only ride peters and its crazy sandy anyways could be in my head, Ill check it at the loop
