Any of you guys into down hill biking? If so what bike/parts you running?
Not necessarily a downhill rider, more all mountain riding with a purpose built bike that is beefier than a x-country bike and not the behemoth of a DH bike. Been through several bikes over the last couple... years and my current ride is Turner 5 Spot with custom built wheel, Hadley hubs with 820 Mavic rims and double butted spokes, super beefy and fairly light, I like to jump the thing and survive the landings. I dumped all the air ride crap for a real spring and oil fork the Rock Shox 426 in 150mm and a Fox DHX RC2 spring and oil rear shock. Only thing I would like to do is get a handlebar mounted adjustable seat setup, the good ones aren't cheap .
