That frame colour is lush. I saw another one of your bike but yours looks well better kept and has a better spec.

Very nice I wish I could justify another bike if I could this would be it, just too heavy for my only ride.

I'm not really taken by the 'LOOK' though it's obviously a serious piece of kit.
skinsuitsrgay replied... on 3 November 2008
So they aren't your colours but you like the build. So why an 8/10? Cheers fella, my bike was at number 11 yesterday

nice colour and great parts. although i wouldn't buy one of these for myself as i think the frame looks too chunky and i dont like the way the suspension works
skinsuitsrgay replied... on 2 November 2008
Fair enough mate. It is chunky but that gives long-term reliability and a solid ride. As for the suspension,what is it that you don't like? The only problem iv found is access to the shock but on the flipside its also protected from slams and mud being thrown up by the rear wheel.

Nice looking bike! dunno about using as a play bike though! if i had it would be out on it all the time!!
skinsuitsrgay replied... on 29 October 2008
I do use it all the time-when im not, I get withdrawal symptoms! Use it for downhill, trail centre's and biking holidays. Cross country playbiking! Is that a new sub-genre? :)

baked_bainz said on 12 October 2008
did u spray ur bike or did you buy it that colour? wot colour green is it? cos im spraying my rig a bright green. I see it well maintenenced! nice forks =)
skinsuitsrgay replied... on 15 October 2008
Its BB mounted. Some people argue that they are better because if you whack the chain device it will spin instead of ripping iscg tabs out of your frame.
baked_bainz replied... on 13 October 2008
do u know if its a mounted on the bottom bracket or an isgg??
skinsuitsrgay replied... on 13 October 2008
Its an E-13 drs. Came with the bike. Works v well and quiet for a chain device. Shame goldtec don't do a dual manacle, it would be way cheaper
baked_bainz replied... on 13 October 2008
wot chain guide u got on it? cos i notice u got a double chain ring and i also know quake hasn't got a isgg mount ether! (its 4 my hardtail) (oh and im talking to skinsuitsrgay)
baked_bainz replied... on 13 October 2008
nice cheers guys!!
konastinky888 replied... on 12 October 2008
and yeah, the colour is described as 'krypton' by marin. which sounds about as cool as green gets.
konastinky888 replied... on 12 October 2008
alright, did you navigate away from this page then come back using the back button in IE and have to refresh the page? i think thats why these multiple posts come up. its happened to me a few times.
skinsuitsrgay replied... on 12 October 2008
This site doesnt work quite right!
skinsuitsrgay replied... on 12 October 2008
It came in that colour. I think marin call it krypton gloss. New attack trail is same colour and 08 northside trail aswell. Pic was taken just before going to Scotland for a week and a half. Serviced ready for a thrashin!

amazing colour get green or yellow rims and it will look even better :P
konastinky888 replied... on 15 October 2008
they are priced mid-range i would have said. i paid £35 per rim for them. no eyelets but are very light and astoundingly tough for the weight of them. and i like the green colour personally, i think most bikes would look a bit odd with bright green rims but this bike can pull it off.
skinsuitsrgay replied... on 13 October 2008
Iv seen that feature. Yeah they are what konastinky888 has on his. Not into them myself but thats cool because every one does their own thing. Im not sure they are eyeletted though and they are v expensive
baked_bainz replied... on 13 October 2008
u can get green spank rims have a look in an old mbuk mag Ian or some 1 had them and they had a green quake they were stunnig!!
konastinky888 replied... on 11 October 2008
yellow rims would just look horrible. i personally like my green rims, although the black rims look fine as well.
skinsuitsrgay replied... on 11 October 2008
Considered it but the frame colour is enough when its in sunlight! Plus the mavics are top quality and work well with the tubeless conversion.

konastinky888 said on 10 October 2008
i have the same bike. you have pimped yours out more than me though. check mine out. did you have the 66RCV's fitted to this as standard? mine are feeling rotten.
skinsuitsrgay replied... on 10 October 2008
I would, problem with 7" forks is that your feet feel way to far forward from the saddle to pedal uphill. 36's or similar keep the bike more versatile. Shaums March sets his quake up with a 36 when he is doing his training camps
konastinky888 replied... on 10 October 2008
no i ride it uphill too. should i go for a 36?
skinsuitsrgay replied... on 10 October 2008
Yeh, it had 66rcv's originally. They aren't the best. I just went with black because its easy and I think the "krypton gloss" is enough! I had a totem coil fitted at one point but it just made the bike too slack for the inevitable uphills. If you only ever point your bike DH buy them!
konastinky888 replied... on 10 October 2008
i like the black/green look, i was going to go white/green on mine but am thinking of getting a black fork to replace the dodgy '08 66, a totem coil maybe.
