Good man, you? We need to shred again soon. I will be out of town this weekend, but may head up to junction next weekend if you are interested. SHould so some DH soon, hopefully my parts will arrive soon.

Dacre? Shawn? I think we may have met...

yeah man, those glorys are sick, im sure it will be super nice. haha, thanks, we decided to just kinda pick out some random coors and see how it would turn out, BMX race season is coming up so i needed something fast looking. lol. turned out alright

yeah it must be the bolt or your cranks. My cranks only just miss the bolt, if I bend them one day its going to be a problem haha

ahhh the bolt is a mysterious looker! To your suprise you will probably find that it misses your crank arm just by a gnats whisker!
And yes the shock mountings isn't very noticvable at first, but the first place I tried it was at a world cup track so I noticed it helped quite a lot!

Something strange happens on my bike though - I probably broke the frame or something lol - but anyway, the brake arm hits my frame!?
how odd!!!
I shall have to contact kona about this, its quite bizzare!

hey!
sorry for the lateness been on holiday to Fort Bill!

Putting the shock in the rear mountings.....OH MY GODD! DO IT NOW!!!

I altered the position about 3 weeks ago and I still can't even believe the difference it made to the feel of the bike! (although it was probably mostly in my head) But I think the bike feels more stable, lower and better at cornering.

It takes the standard BB height down to a quite low and respectable 13.3 inches which improved handling a lot methinks.

And the brake arm, that also makes a lot of difference too I think!

You know when you want to slide into a corner, or pump it really hard? Well basically if you put the arm in the lower mount it has this effect every time you pull the brake. Grip is improved VASTLY!! and I mean vastly, like up at fort bill this week I was doing some times that beat the sponsored riders on Ironsorse Bikes were doing, and I think it was down to the fact that every time you pull the rear brake, the floating brake arm (in the lower mounts) forces the rear wheel into the ground, so it basically never comes unstuck or skids.

oh thats cool boulders pretty good for dirt jumpin but the dh sucks

well thre are some good places for xpert jumpers called the fix and there gun barrel jumps about 10 min from boulder
ur movin to boulder?
