AD replied... on 28 November 2008

Oh yeah had a play this morn on local track, felt so nice even though i was on wetscreams and it was highroller conditions. Get it on to highrollers for tomorow and go to wharncliffe to give it a propper run.

Love it :) are thos i-beam seats any good?

AD replied... on 29 November 2008

earthed 4 even lol

AD replied... on 29 November 2008

lol i shall take note of that then for my next trip up. Got it out in wharcliffe today, gotta say she rocks, but also it handed my arse to me on the worst stack ive had in a while, it resembled minnaar's crash on earthed 3 where he sailed over the bars, the bike landed on me via a saddle to the spine, can still feel it now lol

superwol replied... on 29 November 2008

there fine up there just take your time sliding the seat in which i no you dont get there, but got couple of mates that use them and its not been an issue apart from my fat boy mate lol nose of the seat got damage

AD replied... on 28 November 2008

lol no only 11.5stone only thing that concerns me about it is thefort william gondola which carrys the bike by the seat only

superwol replied... on 28 November 2008

there ok as long as your not a fat boy lol my mate snapped his on his m3 but he`s about 15 stone and that was just sitting down on it, lightness comes at a price!

AD replied... on 27 November 2008

I havn't ridden DH on it yet just ridden up and down the road, only finished building the bike today, was wating on my shock coming back from TF. But yeah it's so easy to set up, all the adjustment from 1 bolt and masses of adjustment so you can get them just perfect, and it seemed pretty comfy and strong enough to take the abuse it'll get.
