Building a 951

The wheels and fork lowers should be done by tomorrow. I'll post some pics then. I think the brakes were like $380.00 for the set shipped.

 

tHIs is the most epic build thread ever. we havent even got any sweet pictures, unless i missed them?

 

Better pic to come.

 

:beer: Should get fork parts tomorrow and rebuild them this weekend:bang:

 

Why can't I find a maxxis Minion 3C UST tire?:?:

 

by the time you finish it will be an Intense 999.:lol:

 

I should finish this week hopefully for the most part:lol:

 

In all sriousness of the statement, get the Chunder 2Bliss...You will be much happier with it. Lasts longer, more predictable. Much happier with these over the Maxxis by a long shot. Little different than a UST, bit its a tubeless tire none the less.

The maxxis 3c Minion UST is probably the hardest UST tire to find right now.

haha damn Vince, still not done with this build? all of those parts must be fresh as hell... :lol:

Looking good so far though!

 

Thx , this is just what I'v been looking for:beer:

 

Especially since I don't believe there is such a tire.

 

The chunder control's or the chunder sx's are by far lighter than the maxxis as well

 

Rumor has it Intense plans on releasing a (special-edition) VINCE frame...

They plan on calling it the 2011....
(Release scheduled for 3/4/11... Same day Vince finishes his build)

 

I was thinking the same thing. Maxxis' site only lists the 42a durometer for the UST minion.

the chunder is supposed to be a good tire though. I'm cool with the michelin DH32 as well, but it takes getting used to. plus, it's huge and heavy and pinch flats easy

 

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Ever heard "Good things come to those that WAIT"

 

I think lee is right. Here is maxxis' DH lineup:

If you want, you can give mine a go to see how you like them....I have the sx's, I love them, they much more of a beating than any maxxis tire I have ever run.

You wont be dissapointed
The other tire you would like, but is only available as a 2.3 is the clutch 2bliss

Thats right, no UST 3c, even the reg 3c is tough to get ahold of, seems they sell as soon as they hit the shelf.

Cant agree more, the sx's are quite noticably lighter than the maxxis DH tires. Not too much a difference than the chunder DH though.

 

How come I always want something they don't make yet ? No SX 2bless 2.5 ](*,)

I'm just waiting on Chain,tires,rotors:bang:

 

Closer

almost there:wave:

 

well, build it already... use the rotors and tires off the SGS and git sum sonnn
