Specialized Stumpjumper Evo Special Edition... 14

I just got new front a rear suspension, can't wait to see how ours stack up against each other once I get my new pics up in a few weeks! 26 Stumpy's all the way!

So I finally pulled the trigger and got the Pike like you have on yours. Hopefully it will look as sick as yours does soon!! Did you have to get a new front hub or wheel when you got the pike? My stock front wheel was 20mm, do you know if they are convertable to a 15mm for the pike by chance?

Sweet new pics, so do you prefer the Pike or the Fox 36 on the front? I am looking at moving to whistler so I might have to put on a 36 talas or something.

HI Dude
i tell u for real the PIke is stiff.... Really Stiff!! From the damping between the 36 and the pike i think that there is a close match between them and the PIKE after changing the size of the Air chamber and reducing the PSI is a Clear winner...

but the 36 fox is an Great Shock the only gap that really give a chance to the Pike is the wight 300 Gr lighter then the 36 float.
so thats for me was a closing Deal.

and Thanks again Dude

whats your BB height? do you have any problems hitting stones or roots with the pedals?
very nice bike

The BB Hight is like the stock number.
a little issue when peddling uphill in a rocky section some times there is a hit here and there.

and thanks man

Does a 32T ring work best on that XO1 groupo? How does it climb?

It very depends on the trail you ride in...
i did today a casual ride is some mid\light tech terrain and i didn't got to the 36 plate on the cassette ... i guess in different trail with more hard claiming i will need .... for me 32 in the front is optimal for now... may be in the future i will put 34 when my legs will get stronger :-P

yea I think my fronts are 22/36 and I mainly use the 22 on the trails around here so maybe a 30 or 32 would be closer to what I use. Sick ride you got there, I bet it rips on the downhills huh.

Thnx Man ... yah its a great machine ... does everything as i want climb fast and decent faster :-) ...

really happy with it ... thanks again

Bike of the Day November 15, 2013!

how does the Fox 36 feel on there? is it too much fork for that bike or does it really help the DH performance? I was looking into either a 36 or 34 but havent decided yet

i Had a 36 in the bike before those and it was hard to leave that good strong security fill of the 20 mm Axle...

the travel is shorter from stock its 150mm now so the axle to crown is like the OEM fork that came with the bike.

and the bottom line is all comes to you if you can live with the wight in the front..(i think that now the bike is more balanced to the front side so it does down like hell) ... i love the 36 with the 20 axle .

pretty much the nicest stumpjumper ever.
