Wow. I just re-read my post-I couldn't follow it eithershaine

In your pic, you have what looks like a lizard skin on the rear coil. Do you feel that's a good idea? What's the point of it? Is it just to keep mud etc out of the coil? I have a swinger 4-way and was wondering if I should put the cover on mine.
just don't leave it on all the time...BigMike

...i ruined a fox air shock once cause i never took the lizard skin off. dirt can still get inside no matter how good the fit is. it's a good idea to use one especially in muddy areas, just take it off and clean under it every few rides or so...

4 bikes so far and I noticed 3 trends...

3 have swiched to a 8" rotor in the back

3 have Shiver forks up front

3 have chain keepers- 2 Evil & 1 MRP

Looks like we can agree on some things here...

Alooooooooooooooooooha!

Actually, the pic of mine is old. It now has an MRP on it, and the 8" rotor kit is on order as we speak.

MonsterT is on the way along with 8" rotors (narrow track baby!), Vanilla RC with a bit longer i2i, to make it 7", new tires (someday) and some good rock guard.







That's it folks!

thanks, Mine has a 22-32 ring setup with a bashguard..do you think I should upgrade to a chainguide or not bother? I mainly do a bit of everything 'freeride' i suppose, mainly downhill and street but plenty of messing around on it! they are great bikes!

you guys have sweet setups..i just got a 02 BigHit a week ago. Still stock components. I was thinking of going with a 2-ring up front and a DC. Who makes a good 2-ring set up? Would I need a new derailier? I see you guys use Evil and MRP. Any suggestions for my BigHit would be appreciated.
MRP and Evil both make great two ring systems...D Buck

What is really comes down to, it how thick of a bashguard you want. The MRP is paper thin compared to the EVIL. My choice would go to the EVIL, I have the SRS and is has worked flawlessly for a few months now. And that bashguard has taken some hits that I know would have demolished other guards. So, I wouldn't think twice about their other products.
