heh. Something tells me you've got a bob or two, those X0s aren't cheap. Have the got the X0 derailleur or just the triggers?

Imo ODI Ruffian MX Lock-ons > * tbh

Yes I have the derailleur too,shame the carbon cage only comes on the small and medium cage ones though

Breamy · 17 Mar 2006 at 22:25

lovin the carbon lookin to upgrade my mech and shifters to x-0 soon and get some carbon levers for my juicys

wiiija · 17 Mar 2006 at 22:32

You wont be dissapointed in taking the x0 shifters~rear mech route,they shift so crisply,especially the triggers,you need to try them to believe just how good they are.
I was using the x0 twist shifters (and XTR triggers previous to that) before i had a mess about on a demo bike at leisure lakes which had the x0 triggers,I changed straight away,their that good.

wiiija · 17 Mar 2006 at 22:41

05 Sworks FSR120.

Breamy · 17 Mar 2006 at 22:44

u must be loaded must be at least 3k's worth of kit there

wiiija · 17 Mar 2006 at 22:52

Tad more than that,but I wouldnt say i'm loaded.
I ride everyday and I've been doing so for years now, I just like to get my rides setup the way I really want, I find I can stop wanting and just concentrate more on riding then.
Tis an obsession though which i'm sure you know

Breamy · 17 Mar 2006 at 22:57

ye know what u mean i like my bikes nice and ride at least once a day usaully twice so i think its worth spendin money on nice bikes 2 do it on

HeadShok Lefty's have been around a while now, they're the successor of the old Fatty/Silk/P-Bone forks (afaik).

Breamy · 18 Mar 2006 at 16:27

i love the lefty woulda got a cannondale if they came with decent components at the price point i was looking at

benjo plz. · 18 Mar 2006 at 16:33

Just get the frame tbh, then build it yourself, or theres the Use Sub Anti-Dive fork which is pretty sweet too

.

Breamy · 18 Mar 2006 at 16:35

well cant afford it at the moment only just bought my cove. and i like the look of the lefty dunno if id like it seems like it could be unbalanced

benjo plz. · 18 Mar 2006 at 16:40

I've always had doubts about forks like that, but MBR and other mags passed them off as fine, and CG never had any trouble with them.

Bennah · 18 Mar 2006 at 17:51

How much does a Lefty fork cost anyways ?

Breamy · 18 Mar 2006 at 17:55

you cant put a lefty fork on any frame it has to have a larger headtube

benjo plz. · 18 Mar 2006 at 18:02

thats afaik, as it was with the other headshock forks (Alibaba99's fork has the same Holly stem). CRC did have the forks on sale a while back, but now they only do 'dale frames and forks together.
