Everyone post pictures of your DimaondBack
You should look at my thread called "2009 Diamondback Response parts" on the diamondback forum to get some ideas on what to upgrade.Prowland said:Here is my first MTB! Completely stock right now... any suggestions for upgrades and places to find parts? I am really new to this so any help is greatly appreciated.
I took it to Michigan for a weekend and it rides nice.
Is your fork backwardsDavidNeiles said:Will get some pictures once I got it dialed in! Thinking about racing it soon!!
Sold the Mission and moved all parts to a Sortie Black Frame....I really enjoy this bike.... everything from Pump track (where this picture was taken) to woodsy single track to ripping DH to technical climbing...
:eekster: :eekster: :eekster: That is crazy looking, Looks like that stem riser could snap like a twig if you hit some techy trails:eekster: :eekster: since you put some nice stuff on there get the stock coilover off and get a reall shockkstovesand said:The DB frame is very strong and the seat very soft -- handlebars are comfortable where I have them set -- really high. It is a heavy bike -- and I added a couple of security cables and a toolkit to the saddlebag just to make sure I would always get a good workout.
Finally took your advice and upgraded the shock to a Fox Float RL (almost a year later) -- very nice results once I finished the setup.:[snip] since you put some nice stuff on there get the stock coilover off and get a reall shock
No that is a Manitou fork!!!!!!!!!!Miguel4u2 said:Is your fork backwards
By the look of that handlebar height, you should've gotten a bigger frame.kstovesand said:I am relatively new to MTBing. Age: 59, Height: 6 foot, 3 inches, Weight 225 pounds -- an old clyde!
I bought my 2007 Diamondback Coil EX as a starter MTB. Found that I love trail riding -- so some upgrades were in order:
- XTR rear derailleur / SLX front derailleur
- Hollowtech II type crank / external bearing BB
- SRAM chain / cassette
- BB7 brakes front / rear
- Rockshox Recon 351 U-Turn fork
Since I ride on the roads early mornings as well as the trails (live about a mile from Itusi trail in NC), I have an LED headlamp, taillamp, mirror, GPS, bell -- and the spoke reflectors -- all to try and keep the cars from turning me into roadkill!
The DB frame is very strong and the seat very soft -- handlebars are comfortable where I have them set -- really high. It is a heavy bike -- and I added a couple of security cables and a toolkit to the saddlebag just to make sure I would always get a good workout.
I do all my own work and have tools, stand, bulk XTR cables and housings, etc.
See you all on the trails! 73 de Ken - N4OI

That bike is beautiful. I just picked one up off craigslist on a total fluke. It doesn't have stickers or anything, ( I will have to find a way to source some), but the potential is there.Vader said:Here's my 1995 Axis TT Pro
