2010 Yeti 303 R DH Bike

The Good

Have the tapered HT. Super balanced in the air. set it and forget it. can take tight lines, drift or long sweepers. You can really pump the terrain, no loss of power, awesome flow. Great kit for the price.

The Bad

Needs a direct mount stem, I changed..... the cranks to OCTs, X9 shifter pod, Sunline dir mount stem.

Overall Review

Fantastic deal, great bike, wicked ride

Chris King No Thread Headset

The Good

WOW. ALL I HAVE TO SAY. SO MANY COLORS TO PICK FROM YOU CAN GET A RASTA ONE OR IF YOUR A HIPSTER KIND OF KID THEN YOU CAN GO WITH PINK ( I WOULD NEVER! ! ) BUT YOU CAN. I LOVE THE SMOOTH FEEL THAT LASTS YEARS AFTER YOU PRESS THEM INTO YOUR FAME. OVER SIZED BEARINGS THAT CAN TAKE ANYTHING YOU CAN LAND AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN'T. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON ANY OTHER HEADSET OUT.

The Bad

THEY NEED TO MAKE INTEGRATED CARTRIDGE BEARINGS CAMPY TYPE. BUT I KNOW THEY WILL SOON.

Overall Review

CHRIS KING GET IT. YOU ONLY HAVE TO GET ONE FOR EVERY BIKE YOU HAVE. LOOK SICK AND LAST LONGER THEN ANY OTHER PART ON MY BIKE. HATS OFF THE THE CHRIS KING FAMILY. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE YOUR MISSING OUT BIG TIME.

MRP Mini G2 SL Chainguide

The Good

Roller/idler wheel very good, poly taco very strong.

The Bad

the cap on the idler wheel shredded on my third ride with it. Had to put a spacer on the rear part of the to guide and grind out some of the plastic in order to get better chain clearance where it enters.

Overall Review

This is a bash guard. I would have expected the idler wheel cap to be more robust. The to guide is perhaps too robust and the chain really rubs= loud

Hadley 20mm Dowhill Front Hub

HadleyF20mmBlueDH6-22.jpg?VersionId=22GYbOtKAnMMriYk7b43Y8

The Good

*Easy to replace bearings
*Smooth (most of the time)

The Bad

See below..

Overall Review

Built front and Rear on 823's, ride Whistler, regularly throughout the summer and local Dh trails, rebuilt them after one season, bearings started to go.. also had play in the front hub... seemed to be fine after rebuild, but never as smooth as King's or Hope's. Went back to Hope's this season, cheaper and maintenance free..Could be that I'm biased, since I'm English and my last Name is Hope..

2011 Trek Session 8 Bike

The Good

Everything, feels almost the same as the session 88 i rode last year. A whole lot of bike for the money. Almost only the suspension that is the differense between this and the 88 for a whole lot moore cash. It weights 17.5kg out of the box. No problem getting it below 17kg with a few minor things

The Bad

It depends on what u mean by bad, a lot of sticksion on the boxxer out of the box. An ugly stem ;)
Change it to a direct mount and u'll save like 100g or similar

Overall Review

Werry pricy fast bike for everybody actually. If u look to the price compared to the 88 or similar "top" models from other brands this is the shit for 2010 =) Note: Last year, 2009 i had a Session 88 DH

Chromag Ranger (2011) Stem

c120 90678970 1273302815.jpg?VersionId=HvAnju0ev5DBv

The Good

-Light
-Stiff
-Detail
-Different

The Bad

Like a Thomson or a Spank Oozy Ltd., it's spendy but so is anything in this range.

Overall Review

Ithrew this stem on a Knolly Endorphine. at first I was a little scarred about how close the bolts are drilled and how small they were. Rode it, all fears gone! The details are sick and must be seen up close to appreciate this stem.
