|   Cortina- good east coast ride? | RG
Dec 10, 2001 9:29 AM | | How are Cortinas for East Coast DH? They seem like they have a real long chainstay (18-19in)? It also looks like mud would clog up the linkage area. I hear they're sick with the Avalanche shock. |

Dec 10, 2001 9:54 AM | | RG - I have been riding the Cortinas for 3 years, and have to say they are fine in the mud. I did have trouble at West Virgina with mud clog but I think most riders were in the same boat. All the pivots are sealed bearings with rubber o-rings keeping mud and water out. As for the Avalanche shock, I dont know how I was riding without it!
have good one,

Dec 10, 2001 5:35 PM | | he's sponcered by them and avalanche and brooklyn and the
cortina is his race rig along with the dual slalom 6inch suspension cortina
the tmx link with avalanche front and rear is the mad crazy huck bike for the blue mountain excursions oh yeh
he rocks it with the boxxer and avalanche and he basically schools all at plattekill witch is the craziest dh mountain on the east coast and is always crazy muddy
so yeh it's a sweet ride.. also the parell link suspension design is awesome. |
