Is a demo going to be that much better than what ive got here? my fourty five pound beauty?
it probably has some adjustments, they're probalby jus hidden behind some part of the frame....SHIVER ME TIMBERS said:looks like you gotta get ssome rebound and damping on that shock...mabe even get a used Vanilla RC and push it
its debateable man, i think the only person that can answer that question is you...doubleAs said:Is a demo going to be that much better than what ive got here? my fourty five pound beauty?

best advice...ride both and choose
that and the flat front tyre, non existant chain ring, guide and chain...means my bike is in the process of being built up, i need to take my brakes back off because the levers have alot of play in them and i need new bolts, so they were just slapped on and the routing wasnt zipptied on just for my lame attempt at a ride yesterday down the street...BikeSATORI said:hey BJ, what's w/ the hydro hose on your rig?
oh right on, I'm actually building up a FR rig for this summer too, but looks like your a hell of a lot farther than me, I only have a pile of parts, no frame even, not to mention no mula!that and the flat front tyre, non existant chain ring, guide and chain...means my bike is in the process of being built up, i need to take my brakes back off because the levers have alot of play in them and i need new bolts, so they were just slapped on and the routing wasnt zipptied on just for my lame attempt at a ride yesterday down the street...
something about CR's and bighits, they just go well togetherMX 887 said:Nice Bikes
I was wondrering how much mine weighed. I asked my shop to weigh it but they said it would break the scale. It is a mainly XC shop
Anyhoo here is mine-
26 inch wheel vs. 24 inch wheel.......26 easier to pedalj6105 said:The FINAL WORD
I own that exact same bighit (super T + evil SRS are only upgrades i can remember now) and i just bought a demo 8 pro. It is taking me a while to get used to the larger/longer bike because it does not handle like the bighit. It is for sure faster and you can actually pedal nicely, unlike the bighit which is quite unpedalable. If you only DJ and huck, save the money and stay bighit..........but if you ever race, like doing DH fast, or like fast efficient pedaling (i forgot to say how stable the demo is going fast and in the air---- veryyyy stable) then get the demo. I say wait till 06.
I have to disagree with you...my bighit pedals just like the demo. stability wise, the demo is more stable because its weight is centered right on the BB but the bighit is much eisier to handle in the air and is certainly more agile...j6105 said:The FINAL WORD
