[kona_rider_1]

Hey Guyz posting another one this time for my freind he is currently ridding a Canfield brother formula 1. It great fun to ride. :D

[.:Easily:.]

wow thats the first canfield ive ever seen....really nice

[Red Rocket]

Argh Canfeild!!!!!!!! So damn hot! There are just no available words in my vocabulary to describe how much I love that bike, so shiny and new!!! Soooo built.

[Mr jesus]

What a sweet bike... whats up with the chain type thing? that chain is massive...

[josh123]

Yer, that's a big ass chasin device. Looks like a hucker;)

[TGR]

made in taiwan?
aren't they hand-built in states?

[ridemotocross]

now thats a sweet setup..

love the chian device and how it works..

[and1]

What rear shock is that? Does whoever rides it bend it like bender?

[intense jonoooo]

watz the point of that top chain device thingo????

why not just piss it off.. and run the chain the normal way? wat does the circle thingo do?

[berkyburger123]

Quite possibly the sickest bike Ive seen in a long time. Very cool, very solid.

[kizza01]

Total Rad rig! the black mrp suits it so well. pimpin value.

[ride_hard199]

i believe it is to minimise chain stretch or something. i know there is a perfectly rational and reasonable reason for it but i cant remember what it is.

[Andrew.F]

havent i riden with you before im sure ive seen that bike before what your friends name

[norcoboy]

That bike is going straight to the top of my Christmas wish list. Sweet bike mate!!!!:cool:

[Andrew.F]

YES YES i have ridden with you that was the nicest bike ever man i would kill for that

[NeBoS]

Amazing bike - looks very burly. Is it primarily a hucker, or can you use it for DH?

Despite the fact that it's marketed as a racer, it's a huck sled. Just ask other Cornfield owners. Does your mate do his helmet up too?

Ummmm.....don't quote me on this, but I think it is to eliminate/reduce pedal bob.

[lotec]

Ummmm.....don't quote me on this, but I think it is to eliminate/reduce pedal bob. nay, as the suspention compresses, the axle moves backwards on these, thus the length of chain between the casette and chainring extends, pulling the pedals backwards, not a nice feeling at all, that pulley fixes it bb7s and PDC racing have them as well

[flymybike]

Thats correct.
A rearward axle path moves in the direction that the bump hits the wheel, allowing the suspension to absorb the bump more effectively without slowing you down so much.
Imagine a wheel swinging out of the way where as a forward wheel path effectivelly punchs into the object and hesitating with each hit. Now imagine hitting something like 500 bumps in a race, it adds up to alot of time and momentium loss.:eek:

[Lowrider#1]

Ahem, correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't the head angle look massively slack?

[aaronzor]

It's a 65-66 head angle with a 888.

A sneek peek. The new Lucky 7-8 in travel freeride/dh bike. Cromo front, 7005 rear and 20mm pivots.

VPP Canfield!!! - thats so hot. And I love the idea of having a cromo front (isnt the new Eastern duely''s front end made from cromo too?).

The frame and DHX 5.0 should be right around $2250 US dollars. Available may-ish. MTBFactory is the distributer in Ausi. The rims are A-Class Kaprun. They seem nice so far. I've got a month of hard use coming up (riding all day every day, hell ya) so we will see.

The Formula 1 is effectively 'VPP' as well, ie floating rear triangle.

Wow, doesn't look like there is much room to move above the shock reservoir. Nice bike tho, the forks are huge.

[flymybike]

Here is a pic of the BF3. I just finished a referb on her. All my classic parts for the retro feel.
