Does anyone here use EPICON forks? It's relatively affordable and with 'cheong' Kashima coating.

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.

They all have been riding for years, starting with a few sponsors to a dozen. By the time you can be like one of them, I'm sure your finances double up as well.

At the end of the day, it's what riding that defines on how you really feel. Could be the passion, the bike, or just yourself.

I'm thinking of building a slopestyle bike, but only most custom made frames for sponsored riders have the best and right geometry. Any idea on what production frames that are almost similar to this?

Sorry, I mean where to find single chainring cranks that can fit in chainguides and eliminates front derailleur. Like those downhill bikes.

yes kaizer, single speed chainring is what I'm looking for. I figure not to put my T-Bolt to waste, thinking of changing to a single speed chainring, keeping it light as possible. Abang Reza said before about the frame's bottom bracket type, it should be BB mount type.

It's hard to look for BB mount type chainguides though.

I have a Truvativ Stylo 2.2 AM cranks, it's 3x10 chainrings. I just noticed that every sprocket has 4 holes to fit in the crank arm. Does that mean that I can remove individual chain rings and just use the right/middle ring and pair it with a chainguard?


Added on December 3, 2011, 1:29 amAnd the Singaporean DH event, it's a disgrace to the true DH nature. They're trying to hold an event like the Specialized Downmall in Czech Republic. Nothing but a bunch of posers and too much cash to be waste.

The Devinci bike is so clean, never hit trails I guess?

I love The Coastal Crews and Anthill Films work and I'd love to support them, I'm trying to buy the combo pack as it has Blu-Ray and DVD. This is a masterpiece in MTB films!

Technically, 26" is the ideal and perfect size for mountain-biking. 29" works better for XC and trails as it gives better traction and control, but not for freeriding and downhill.
