Why is everyone talking about the so called legendary T-Bolt when I'm no longer using it? LOL!
I'm using Marzocchi 888 CR dual-crown on the Demo 8, don't really like the feel. I still prefer Boxxer's feel and performance but there aren't much LBS that has it here in Penang. |

U should just use back the TBolt and I'll help you get rid of your Demo8 for cheaps. TB Boys bring down the house yo! I'm using Marzocchi 888 CR dual-crown on the Demo 8, don't really like the feel. I still prefer Boxxer's feel and performance but there aren't much LBS that has it here in Penang.  Demo8 don't stand a chance against the awesome TBolt  I also have a bangla rigid fork in exchange for your under performing 888's if you're interested.  |

But the Saracen Zen and Ariel are getting good reviews lately...maybe the mags are biased towards UK bikes ...but dont take my word for it ...Thay are like topman. At the end of the day...buy something that make you enjoy each ride ...be it a Tbolt or a Yeti To enjoy you ll need to have good basics I guess ....no point buying a high end bike if you re gonna push it down the hill ... |

QUOTE(majorsinbad @ Nov 22 2011, 02:09 PM) Hows the frame too small effect jumps..just wanna know aje..not that Ill be doing jumps anytime soon.... From the video, I see he is too far back. So, I assume the frame a bit too small for him? Weight should be distributed in around the centre of the bike.Does the bike's travel also play part? I mean if the jump is too crazy it ll probably bottom out the suspensions and not fully absorb the impact...leading the dude to slip and pop out of the cockpit...(i think the fellas cock also kena the impact) By the way..if you look at the video...towards the end ...in true MTB spirit ...his friends were laughing at him hahah  |

Weight should be distributed in around the centre of the bike. i think for a quite big drop....the weight should be slightly rear-biased rite? so the front end wont be nose-diving like what happened to...... but yeah looking at the vid...he is floating way too far back... and u can see how the 4" shock kick him off balance during the landing.... making him land on the sternum....no gooding feel~ |
