So I think it's in the cards that I won't be riding the Cuervo. I've spent the whole year building up that bike and just ended up with nothing but problem parts.
At this point, I'm going to look at two options right now:
1.Doing a second wheelset (heavy duty) for Northstar and running Saint calipers I already have a Works headset slacking the HA out a full degree anyway, so it should be plenty stable at speed, even with 150mm travel.
2. Getting another DH bike, this time, an entire one new. Not sure which one at this point.
So 1. seems reasonable since I've had bad experiences with rental DH bikes and don't planon doing the lifts that often, but 2. seems like it's a good idea, but not sure if it is if you go DH riding only 1-3 times a year.
Thoughts?
