If you can find a dhx that fits that bike props to you, as far as I know the smallest dhx is around 6". And yeah running boxxers on that thing probably isn't a great idea as the frame is made for 4" forms not 8" ones. There is a high likelyness it may snap. But ahh........good luck to you building it up, perhaps once it's done you may realize a new frame is a good idea :)

Karnige182
21-10-2008, 07:22 PM
he's joking obviously:cool:

You know i'm pretty scared he's not joking, but he will most likely wise up as the build progresses and he realises the bike is uncontrolable because of head angles etc. I wanted to build up an old frame I had lying around (An IH one) and i found almost instantly that with big forks the bike became pretty much unrideable

if your going to put all those nice parts on that peice of shit you have way to much cash. what the f@ck are you thinking

http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp358/mickxr8/101_0047-2.jpg

I thought about putting boxxers on it but it only has a 1/4" head tube.
Would also probably through the head angle out to much.....:p

i like the feel of the frame.:)

22-10-2008, 12:55 PM
Gotta go the king headset. e13. There's your next problem. ISCG mounts? DHX would heaps fit too ey... Custom frame job. Rekn Grip will even allow it into his shop?
Pull it "Bighit" style with the 24" on the back, 26" on the front.
+1 for Codes too!

Firstly you are dickhead in many ways, e.g. spending that money on a shit bike, thinking it will be good etc, but I have to laugh are your complete stupidity, I can not wait to laugh at you and the bike when you are finished.

Honest though is this attention seeking or are you completely serious? If you are serioues there is no way you will get WC's on it nor will you be able to run your Deemax's that are 26inch wheels because they won't fit, just thought I would let you know because you obviously have more money than brains no offense. :rolleyes:

NO SHIT IT DOESN'T FIT. Why don't you just give up now, as this bike won't work, and if by some miracle it does, it'll ride like a POS and most likely snap, putting you or whoever is riding it in hospital.

Stop wasting people's time with this thread, it just isn't funny anymore.

Knopey
30-10-2008, 01:04 PM
It doesn't fit because it's a Fox - ask for a Hardtail brand, they're made specifically for green bikes,
Your local Toys-R-Us will sell you one - if they don't have them in stock get them to order one. If they look confused don't worry, just keep asking them over & over until they order it.

It is a waste of money putting all of those parts onto that frame and I sort of know you and I dont think you would be able to afford all of those parts and if this is true I think your better off getting a proper DH frame. If you dont have enough money to buy all of those parts you are dreaming of you should buy my bike and use those parts and sell the frame. It will be $2000 or $3000 cheaper that way. I will talk to you at school about it.
