Howdy

So I went for a hoon on a 2010 RZ140 with a new Lefty and like it a lot, so this has me thinking about updating.

I have a 2007/8 Carbon Rush 1 that is being used as a trail bike, examples here --> **************6nfNP4

I am considering moving from 110mm up from to 120mm, comments appreciated please.

Also can someone explain in layman's terms the diference between DLR and PBR

Looking at:
Lefty Speed Carbon SL w/DLR
Lefty Ultra SL w PBR
Lefty Ultra w DLR

Many thanks in advance

If people wouldn't mind commenting and what they consider the different type is idea for (ie hucks, trail, xc, posing, etc)

cool
post pics so we can all drewl...........but then be jealous because we dont have one.....................yet. I have a small thing hindering me...........a smaller bike budget than my desires.

Sometimes having a smaller budget is nice. I can get caught up in thinking this one upgrade will make me better at climbing or DH. Truth is, working on bike skills and your climbing engine are more important.

LOL, very true ziscwg.

I got the carbon with the white lettering and attachments.

YES!

Well here she is, I am very happy with it.

Short ride round the trails at home and it is buttery goodness....

That's a very sweet Rush! Like the new decals and the OPI!

Is that an XTR crank? Switched from the Hollowgram Si??

 

[Mtbrat]

well apart from the lefty and a new front SLR that I toasted, the bike is still stock, from 2007. Yes full XTR.

thanks, I am very happy with it.

 

[Mtbrat]

So the manual doesn't go into air pressure for the new lefty, do I assume it's the same as always??

Appreciate any comments, thoughts.

Go by sag, 25% of the travel is a good starting point for XC both front and rear, I always set rebound in the middle of it's range with a new suspension and play with pressure, rebound and the settings on the first few rides until I find the sweet spot. Enjoy the bike!

 

[Mtbrat]

same as always then, thanks Dan

Mtbrat looks great. Has the Carbon 120 lefty change the ride and or geometry much? I am looking at switching to the 120 as well on my carbon rush.
