awesome reveiw i was thinking about buying one of the full dmr setups and i am now convinced that when i get the money that the sidekick full build is the way to except im going to change the forks to the trailblade 2's when they come out.

Just rebuild them daily and you'll be right. :P

Seriously though- add some evil g. seals and semi-oil bath their ass. Easy.

I thought they already had those evil genius seals?

Nah, the Stance lineup comes with the downgraded "devious intellectual" seals :D

Chances are that the shitty grease and clumped up dust that has found its way inside the fork has made the seals not so genius and somewhat more evil.

I'm still trying to work out why they used grease in the first place.

I was at the skate park in question when shayne was writing the story on this one.
Went for a bit of a pedal and tried a few things and to tell you the truth I didn't find any major problems with the bike.

I myself prefer a longer top tube set up because of my size but for a skate/street weapon its all right. Pitty the skate park in question has tiny half pipes not suited to air-ing any MTB at all. I would have liked to put it through its paces properly.

Still, I wouldnt rate it above my bitz&peices ritual but thats only because im use to it now.

Pitty about the price though. If it was cheaper it would be a fantastic bike.

Nice review Shayne. You managed to keep me interested all the way to the end. Gremlins and all. Pitty about those stances though. Hey that's the little beast that I got a go of in the uni carpark isn't it? There's somthing about DMR's that just feels right when I get on one.

It is good to see that DMR have put forward an all rounder entry that takes longer travell forks (even if it does lean towards street/park) I'd certainly grab one if I ever had the cash. So with a new set of tyres and some Pikes it'd rip!
