i have been trying to build the most powerful mountain bike ever. at 62 lbs, this thing is a beast. can you recommend anything to make it...well, more intense?
FRAME-custom specialized frame...you wouldnt believe the trouble i had to go through to get one from them.
REAR SHOCK-fox DHX 5.0 with custom high pressure spring
FORK-marzocchi super monster T
HEADSET-FSA the pig
STEM-race face diabolus
HANDLE BARS-custom magnesium
GRIPS-specialized XC
BRAKES-avid code 5
REAR DERAILLEUR-SRAM X-0
SHIFTERS-SRAM X-9
CRANKSET-race face ride
BOTTOM BRACKET- truvativ howitzer XR
PEDALS-specialized lo-pro mag
WHEELS-tag FRX5
TIRES-custom michelin 26x3.0 back, kenda nevagal front
SADDLE- custom specialized demo
SEATPOST- race face diabolus
where is the weakest link in this setup?
i actually signed a contract waiving the right to disclose specifications for the frame...so, yeah.
the hammerschmidt is really nice, but does it come in a single chainring?
the spring, handlebars, and some other things were made by my friend who is in control of machinery to make them. the spring isnt titanium, but the machine cant make titanium, and the commercial ones are too weak.
PS-to solve any frame questions, it is kind of a prototype from specialized. it cost 7 Gs, and it is the only one that will ever be made by them (mostly due to weight)
