Sorry, I don't follow in the biking scene as far as people go.
Got it. :thumbsup:

Are you talking about the slow-mo scenes after showing it at normal speed?

I was the one filming. We will probably get some new video of him doing some new jumps in the next few weeks and maybe you'll see me on my ghetto hard tail acting like a noob (cuz I am one). Anyway, thanks for the compliments even though they aren't really geared towards me. I hope my filming was ok.

Hi, this is my 05 x3, I just fitted brand new Sherman Breakout plus forks and a brand new swinger 4 way coil. It has XT dual controll levers, disk brakes and front+rear mechs.
Sweet build the upgrades are very nice. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Depending on your weight switch the fork fluid to Maxima 5W and lube the seals with RaceTech seal lube. :rockon:

Thank you for your comments :), I weigh 175lbs, what oil would you advise? Is my 450x3.0 rear spring ok for my weight?
Check out 2.5W fluid but make sure to get good quality fluid like Maxima, Red Line or Showa, couldnt find the exact service manual for the fork. :thumbsup:

Spring weight depends on linkage design, rule of thumb for DH type riding you should get about 30% sag. Back the preload off then set it to where the spring and nut are seating then adjust sag but dont go past 2 full turns on the preload nut otherwise it can cause coil bind at bottom out. If you need to adjust more preload then go to a stiffer spring. :cornut:

Awesome bike, how you enjoying the ride???:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That door is sweet love the wood. :yesnod:
Man I'm 100% satisfied with the bike! Rock solid! Glad you like the door hehehe they are being laquered again at the moment.
I have some doubts and they don't seem worth opening a new thread, so here they go:
Which's the biggest fork I can safely use on this frame? (just in case I want to change it in the future)
What does the big grey knob below one of the bottles do?

PS: please forgive any grammar mistakes english is not my native language :D
