| Additional Info | Inured my thumb so thought I'd chuck up an updated bike check. Made some changes inc derby carbon rims laced to hadley hubs - these things roll forever, far exceeded my expectations! Running 23 PSI front and 25PSI rear -1PSI front and rear in the wet. Won't bother listing suspension set up as the air piston, compression piston, rebound piston and shim stacks are all very far from stock. I'm running two descending valves in my Elevensix rear shock, one slightly stiffer than the other, no need for a climb valve as the Instinct pedals so well without one. | |

Nice Build! Can you comment on the tires? I am on 2.5 DHFs F&R - love the grip but would not mind losing some weight ;-)

I've tried pretty much everything but to be honest don't really consider weight when choosing what i run - tread pattern, compound, width and profile make far more of a difference. In the wet i run double dhr II as they dig in nicely but still roll well and clear mud much better than a dhf, In the dry or mid i run High Roller II's front and rear, love these when you get lent over, best side knob in the game. Dhf works great in a little dust and hard pack but don't brake particularly well and are quite slow rolling, I only ever run them on the front when it's very dry and usually with a dhr II rear or an aggressor if I'm doing lots of pedaling or a long race. Hope this helps. Love my High Roller II's in 2.5 Wt for all round use, work great in pretty much all conditions. Not the fastest rolling though.

Gloss frameskin, looks great on the green! Although I do love the whole half Matt half gloss look rocky did with the instinct.
