So after the chainstays snapped on D-wang's SX Trail, he ran out an purchased an 06 Large RFX. Check out the new 729's.

Avid Code Disc brakes
07 66 SL ATA Fork
729's laced to Hadleys
Gravity Dropper
Thomson Stem
Sram X-9 everything
King Headset
Blackspire Stinger Chainguide(ISCG)
XT Cranks

He'll be rollin out with his colon out.

He's not that big. He weighs 185 lbs, and that is a 600 lb spring. Should be spot on. I'm curious about the weight. We don't have a good scale. Feels like 37lbs. Those avid codes are made out of lead I think.

I dunno, 32h 729's :eek:ut: Not sure those will hold up :p So stealth black, does that mean that no more Hard Ano (CD finish)?

That thing looks sick (extra forks in the garage ain't too shabby either). No more love for the big "S" after he snapped it?? He must be the 1-5% that they calculate might actually push the frame to it's limits. Probably best he gets onto a mfg that builds bike not to fail :thumbsup:

Specialized was totally cool. They hooked him up with new statys no questions asked. Apparently this was an issue with the 06 Enduro's and SX Trails. The 07's have an addtional gusset added to the weak joint.

Yup, Specy's lifetime warranty is pretty cool. I used to ride an enduro, broke it and they replaced it with a new model, no questions asked. :thumbsup:

Very nice looking bike!:thumbsup:

Question though, I thought he didnt care much for the RFX leverage rates and thats why he switched to the SX. Just wondering what changed his mind, did he ride yours with the Pushed shock perhaps?

He actually rode Crashthedog's w/ Push'd DHX, and really liked it. The leverage ratio is not such a big deal for him @ 185lbs. In any event, I think that the RFX will hold up better to the abuse that he dishes out over the SX trail.
