Evil / E13 Exclusive

[Ryan]

Hot off the boat the farkin.net Brisbane office has secured one of the first Evil / E13 (http://www.evilbikes.com) SRS chainguides available to the public in Australia. These things have a cult following already in the U.S. and a number of top DH teams have jumped off MRP to get Evil chainguides on their bikes. With its super-sexy clear Makrolon bashguard and top notch retention system the SRS certainly looks the goods. Here's a picture (http://www.farkin.net/forums/albums/234.jpg) of the guide installed on Ty's Daredevil, check out the photo gallery (http://www.farkin.net/forums/viewgallery.php?) for a whole folder of photos (http://www.farkin.net/forums/viewalbum.php?a=38) taken during the installation (which was by the way, an absolute snap.) Don't forget to check back later in the week for an early review on the guide.

first impressions, it's super burly, it's crazy light and really well thoughout and of the hightest quality, it went on in 15 minutes, thats including installing a new BB and Cranks (we even used grease) the instructions clearly list any spacers and all setup adjustments.

[Turley]

how much did the cranks and bb end up costing you?

[Ty]

um, well, a little over $200 including the blackspire chainring, i can't say much more.

[stinky|dan]

[Ty]
