Photo? Sounds like an interesting build. Need your take on the Auron fork.

 

[freebiker]

Photo is there. Can you not see it?

 

[shupack]

I see it. Looks sweet!

hey wait. Didn't DT himself say the float x would not fit? The issue being contact with the rockers. Close up photo of this area please.

Nice build!
The gold part on your crank is a perfect to match the black.
Maybe a gold King hubs would make it more sexy too ;-)

Looks like a long stem for a Burner?

70mm? Feels good at 70. Maybe try shorter at some point but for climbing and all around riding it feels nice and zippy for me.

Awesome build. How are the LB rims? I've been eyeballing some.

I find climbing on my Spot pretty good with my 55mm and confidence inspiring everywhere else. 70mm is not crazy long but is a little XCish these days. Freebiker's profile states he is a XC rider from CA so it is not unreasonable.

great looking build, let us know how that rear shock performs....70mm is what i am running on my burner as well, but from your picture that stem looks like a 90, it may be the angle of the photo.

 

[freebiker]

thanks

I took your suggestions and well, thanks. The shorty stem works so much better. Wow. Here is a clearance photo as well for the float x.

pic w renthal 40mm stem

40mm stem werks much better and i feel more "in" with the enduro crowd now.

The rear shock feels great. I cant really say it works any better than the last fox shocks i had been using on turners. A pushed rp23 or a stock 2013 turner spec ctd.

Still room for a water bottle?

The auron fork feels great so far. Smooth like butter, added some oil to it during travel reduction, hsc 5 clicks from open, lsc 3 clicks from closed, rebound 3 clicks from open. It was cheaper or really close to oem price on a fox and i like that the most, 550 on the suntour ebay store. Thats VALUE!!!
