My soon to be ride

[Cook]

I just ordered my new ride, it is a V10 with monster t, chris king hubs and headset, trail pimps, mrp bones combo, and the works.

I will post a picture when i get the bike! :twisted:

[LTR]

You smartarse!

*Drooooooool*

[Turley]

Sounds sweet mate! It's gonna be one heavy mofo with all your parts though! :P :)

[Cook]

I need a heavy bike, I think they are easier to take drops :lol:

[CHEWY]

i hate u :cry:

have fun!

[RaID]

theres a guy who rides a simialr setup to that here in adelaide ie V10 and 03 Monster Ts

and that think is farkin heavy, i could hardly get the front wheel to lift

sounds sweet though enjoy the tank!
youll be able to run over kids with that

[Cook]

I might not get a Monster, I think I might get a Boxxer Worldcup or a Dorrado.

[Ghost]

I might not get a Monster, I think I might get a Boxxer Worldcup or a Dorrado.

Ummm, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say you had ordered it?

Regardless, sounds sweet. How big a dent did it make in your bank account?

[peachy]

i'd be guessing about $10000000

[skillz]

of course he has a mastercard

[dick]

not fair,
that will be radical

[Cook]

I didn't order the fork because they already had one in stock, so I can change it when ever i want to.

Monster T on a V10 is a bad idea. The rear end is hard enough to get off the ground due to the VPP's -3 1/2 inches of sag, a monster would mean you also couldn't get the front of the ground. Get some heavy duty rims if you go with that combo cause you will need it when you bash into rocks and shit. Go a dorado or boxxer, or maybe even a super T if you don't run super wide tires. The new sherman 170mm will be out in the states on 20th August. The new Dorado SPV 8 inch forks are already available from jensons if you want to splurge $1700US.

This fork that fork yada yada yada. Has anyone asked how much do you weigh are you tall etc etc how do you ride? Informed comments only please.
I have a V10 with shivers and yes I can get the front and rear wheels off the ground. I am also over six foot and strong enough to do that. If you are a big guy 90kg+ I would definetly recommend Monsters, also if you have an MX back ground. I am not a hugh fan of Dorado's as they are a cartridge damped fork. I have also found that a few people in know have had problems with the valving on thier 03 boxxers. The new 03 Dorado would be interesting to ride but may not get over here for a while. Also just because Jenson have a price does not mean they have stock. Waiting 3 months for a fork can be a drag as they prioritise US customers.

I am getting a Manitou Dorrado, and that is final!

[Oppy]

02 or 03?

[LTR]

I hate you even more that before!

Did you know that a V10 sags in its own weight?

Have heapsa fun and dont be afraid to go HUGE!

[Cook]

Not the new ones, maybe they do in Austrailia but here in Canada.

[Mason]

I bet thats just how the rear shock is set up. More air = less sag, less air = nicer rider, = more air = stiffer ride but no sag.

If that makes sense

[Ivan]

must be the extra gravity here in aus causing the sag eh!

[Cook]

We are a lot more elevated

[2EaSy2]

get dorados

[Bender is CRAZY]
