New Bike

Has arrived and is currently tucked up somewhere secure. I've just picked up a bargain Hope / Syncros wheelset that should be here next week.

Now just need tyres and some forks. Fox 40's or Rockshox Boxxer's are on the list - although I'd be tempted with a set of Totem's to make the Trail stuff easier.

Nice choice! I LOVE mine, so much fun, some how manages to change direction like a swallow whilst being totaly rock solid.

Have you thought about some 888s? My WCs work really well on my Shocker.

I'd rather stick to Fox or Rockshox - mainly due to parts standardisation. In fact my preference would be RS but the coil Team rather than the air World Cup's. Gotta love the RC2 40's though.

Can't argue with that. The Boxxer WC's are meant to be WAG high maintenace. What about some 40R's and a BOS upgrade kit? Supposed to be outstanding.

Wouldn't go for Totem though, great forks, but Shockers work best with your weight way back, the shorter forks might push your weight too far forward.

This isn't Pink Bike you know. That kind of filth should not be allowed on these forums.

The A2C height of the Totem is roughly identical to a current Boxxer anyway.

I'd stick some proper forks on it, its a DH frame, so deserves some DH forks. Chuck some 40's or some Boxxers on there & you won't go too far wrong. Just make sure they are the Teams.

I might be tempted to part with my '09 40 RC2's if you are looking for some? Black lowers will match the frame nicely

-C- I concur a frame like that deserves the 40's it's a travesty not to.
