good call on the upgrades. I was looking at a set of the hive cranks yesterday, and they're pretty legit.
very nice! whats the weight?
not sure on the weight. i just ordered some point 1 pedals with the aluminum stud upgrade, the stem with the ti bolt upgrade, there cool top cap thing and some deity black label bars. ill toss it on the scale then.. right now its around 39
I just tossed on my Po1nt pedals and some other goodies...
37.2 pounds
37.2 pounds
nice, 37lbs is a good weight. Thats what i'm shooting for.. I just threw on some of the new weirwolf 2.3 tcs tires and went back to tubeless. also i put on some framewrap, this stuff is the best ever... www.framewrap.com
just weighed it at 38.5
i put a hole in my black lowers riding in tahoe, ca. the white came in from fox in only a day and a half! so fast, easy install back up and running. waiting on my po1nt direct mount and pedals still but i got my new deity blackabels on. they feel good! lighter and wider than my sunlines. i also got the enduro needle bearing shock bushing kit. it butter!

hey man - become a fan of deity of facebook and submit a picture of your BL bars on the legend to enter a softgoods contest.PeterLucas said:i put a hole in my black lowers riding in tahoe, ca. the white came in from fox in only a day and a half! so fast, easy install back up and running. waiting on my po1nt direct mount and pedals still but i got my new deity blackabels on. they feel good! lighter and wider than my sunlines. i also got the enduro needle bearing shock bushing kit. it butter!
the blacklabels are seriously sick bars. nice bend. and there lighter than sunlines!
I can agree with you there. I got some black labels a few months back and they are the most comfortable bar I have tried yet. I was planning on cutting them down but they feel so good they way they are so im just going to leave them.PeterLucas said:the blacklabels are seriously sick bars. nice bend. and there lighter than sunlines!
Sick bike by the way. If i had the money right now I would love to build one of them up.
So since this is kind of an old thread and you must have had some time on the bike. how about a review? especially one comparing this bike to other DH bikes you have tried/owned in the past
i cut my black labels down to 30". they feel spot on now.. i am used to the 29.5" sunlines.. as far as thr banshee.. super sick bike.. I was thinking about getting on the new demo 8 in black.. but now im having second thoughts and thining i should just ride the banshee another full season.. ill just replace the bearings.. dont thin they really even need replacing but i will anyways to stat fresh this year. very low bike, corners better than your bike and carys speed through rough stuff. there is some chain feedback when your sprinting but i got used to it. and it actually workd great when pedeling through rocky stuff because it keeps the bb off the ground and aout of its sag position = less clipping pedals. i run the 165 hive cranks on it now and there sweet. mine builds up to be 38 with dh tires and tubes. with trail tires its 36.5lbs!!! super light for a world cup level dh rig!
I agree about the feeback but its a positive thing. Makes the bike pedal very well. You only have to be carefull with your chain length.PeterLucas said:i cut my black labels down to 30". they feel spot on now.. i am used to the 29.5" sunlines.. as far as thr banshee.. super sick bike..

Im 100% sure I will stay at least one more season on mine. First bike I had that has no annyoing issues that keep me from concentrating on riding.
As for trail tires - I managed to get sub 37 with saint brakes and dh tires though weight is not really relevant. The bike is bombproof and thats what matters.
Nice lookin' bike and great action shots. Looks like you have some other interesting stuff in your garage too.
