quotes 6'0 is not that short.. This frame fits bigger than the medium demo.

quotes Aluminum 20mm rise. Feels different but good.

quotes yeah.. it's alright, new one is on the way :)

quotes its tough to say still. the vivid instantly felt like it had a better pedaling platform and it feels more balanced off jumps. it was super easy to setup. the progression on the damping curve matches the demo SO nicely. i have nothing bad to say about the ccdb though... i probably need to use a lighter spring and mess with the settings more..

quotes ahh.. i tried buying a large frame but it was a couple hundred dollars more.. doh!

quotes haha yup, just got the 35s they feel awesome. i just swapped the seat setups on these bikes, i-fly is on the makulu now, i think it goes better.. my WTB carbon devo broke last weekend *tears*

quotes I dunno how anything can top the Demo on the trails or freeriding after being on it for the past year.. also the new bars feel SWEET... I haven't been on the Makulu yet, so who knows what will happen later :)

ustemuf commented under ustemuf's photo ( 17 hours ago )
quotes back to back with the demo in the parking lot.. the demo feels really bouncy and the makulu feels like a cloud

quotes yup, it'll be for sale soon. i had enough spare parts to build another bike up, so i bought another frame to help sell all the parts at once.

quotes best shock out of all the ones i've used so far, i just worry about the durability. if a coil shock breaks you can still ride it pretty much.. if this breaks, the bike is screwed. so far though i've abused the crap out of it and it's doing well.

Hi man, I was reading in one of the threads about demo 8's, you said you have to modify hadley hubs to compat with them, what do you have to do them so they fit? Thanks
