Mongoose pride whoooooooooo !!!!!!!. My sled is an 08 double and My last was an 06 single. Gotta love the freedrive rear end. Anyone who hasnt ridden one is missing out :eek:

[mini_man]

I have a friend with one of these frame and it fells so nice and it also pedals well, i find you don't often get bikes with both good feel and good pedalling efficiency.

[NEEDCASH!]

Whats the width on those bars?

They look real big for some reason...

Yeah, He took them and developed them. Came out quite good really, but yeah its a shame about his bike.

Pfffft, as if its a shame:p Nah but really, i think we should have a moment of silence and think about his boxxers...... Then make him buy some 888 WC's.
Sexy pictures though plum.

[lachlan mclaren]

get a smaller cluster

[Plum]

get a smaller cluster

Have sort of thought about it, But really I have no issue with whats on it at the moment. Feels awesome as is, so I really dont see a point in changing it at the current time.

[Jimass]

Your bike is shit! I hope you take notice of this white writing as i am only joking, one sweet ride my friend! Oh and remember me? You, Me, Brad, Duggy and maybe a few others did channel ten that time.

[Plum]

Update..
So I stripped my stem the other day, took it to the shop down the road and they tried to re thread it. He then said it would need replacing (Honestly dont think the guy had a clue tbh), but im pretty sure that a Engineer shouldnt have any issues helicoiling it so I'll head down there soon to get it done.
Just incase though Ive been having a look at other DH/FR stems, Suggestions?

[DHwebby]

Hey all just thought id show off my new moggy, cant wait to get it.. should be ere in a week.....:D

[nitrous to burn]

Cheers for the comment,
I havent ridden a whole lot on coil shocks so I cant really give you a spot on answer but the air shock feels really solid. Not as good as soaking up the tiny bumps as a coil but it still does the job pretty well. I was a bit weary when I was looking at the bike as it had an Air shock but now Im so glad I bought it - Very easy to set up right, Light and soaks up everything that it needs to. Couldnt be happier.
