Hey just bought the bike today with a couple questions. First of all, is the stem upside down?
i believe the black is the '07 and the brown is the '08. Have you seen the brown in person? I think it's pretty awesome looking. might be able to find a store that has an '07 in stock though.goblue390 said:Does it only come in brown now? (according to the Dick's by me) I see some of you got the black. Brown is kinda ugly i think.
if you pull your seatpost out, it should have the diameter on it, next to the minimum insertion line or whatever.ryaske said:Hey Guys,
I figured I would post since I just bought my copper 2008 Warrior 1.3 from my local Dick's.
(Pics to come soon!)
I went with the 3-year warranty..... it seems like a pretty good deal.. even brakepads and tires are covered!
But then I realized that I will be upgrading components, (like the calipers to BB7s?)... and the new components I doubt would be covered. So in hindsight I'm feeling kinda silly for spending $50+tax to protect all the craptacular components...
I suppose I will leave it stock for as long as I can stand (except for a longer suspension seat post and road tires), and ride HARD in hopes of breaking stuff!!!!!
Anyway ...
Does any one have any tips to tweaking those IOX calipers? It seems I only have two options....
a) too much freeplay in the levers or
b) constant noisy pad drag (even riding straight)
Was anyone successful in getting the best of both worlds?
Maybe I just have to wait til they break in?
I noticed there is no "Tension modulator screw" like the instructions say there should be.
P.S. here is the manual for the Tektro IOX if anyone needs:

Finally .... does anyone know the seatpost diameter of the Warrior 1.3? I am thinking about getting a thudbuster: http://www.thudbuster.com/products.html
Bring the bike back to the store and have them adjust it..it's covered. I'm the tech at a Dick's here and it's only because I REALLY know what I'm doing (unlike most techs at Dick's) that I can set them up right Those brakes can be a tricky pain in the a** to set up with out drag.ryaske said:Hey Guys,

yeah, i really like mine. you should trash that kickstand thoughKingKrawczyk said:Got my Warrior 1.3 back in July of 07. I changed out the cassette, changed the discs to Tektro IO's for some reason, new WTB FX28 rims with Shimano Deore XT hubs, kevlar tires, and put some extra stuff on. I love the bike.
Yeah they shouldn't have sold you the bike with rub and an upside down stem. Morons abound. I HATEworking for a retailer who fails to train its people.kidndapalm said:What is the proper maintenance for this fork? Rockshox Dart1.
Also, what are the specs of this bike?
I've had mine since last year, and aside from what is labeled and visible, I am still finding out stuff about it. Got rid of break rub (front and rear), stem angle.... (shouldn't all Dick's employees know this??), kickstand, and plan to upgrade into a serious bike to ride at Ray's indoor park through the season. Thinkin I might be ok upgrading just wheels and tires... maybe handlebars next.. All the bike came with was a safety manual, general (iron horse) mountain bike user manual, and a freakin alcohol swab. Thanks!!! :rockon:
No problem.kidndapalm said:You are tremendously helpful! Thanx!!! now, i am assuming the distance from headset bolt to center of bar clamp is the mm here, but what is this other number????

ive done some math and i'm a pretty big dude, so i think for what i am looking for, this is a good combo, don't want to reach as far down and forward, and with this and a (2") riser bar i'm not getting into shady territory for the type of riding i like either. Again, thanks, this forum has transformed my riding so much.
