Who needs the DW DHR. My obsolete DHR got a face lift and some freshening up. Everything should transfer over to the DW in a year or so when they make production. ;)





hope to get some action this weekend, right before the rain starts for the next month. :rolleyes:

Hard to be mad at new components, but that old paint job was pretty fukkin unstoppable.

Thinkin about hitting Stunt this afternoon, you in?
Does cane creek offer a specific dhr tune that is different than stock?

I too like your older paint job; smoke gray. I had turner/olympic paint my '04 5 spot that color last year. Not that the new color sucks or anything!
Really nice bike. But I was a big fan of the smoke grey, if that's what it was.
CCDB tunes the shock to each specific bike and they updated the internals for 2010, so it's a new tune specific to the DHR but they don't tune the shock to a specific rider like Push would do.

I liked the Iron Glimmer Gray a lot, too, I just wanted something different. May go back to that color for the DW DHR but this semi black looks really nice in person.

DB, don't think i can make stunt today but thanks for the invite!
I really, REALLY like the old DHRs....nice work.

Okay, so if I understand you correctly, CC tunes the external adjusters to recommended settings, but inside the shock it's still a standard built ccdb [with the new parabolic needles and such]?
that's correct. it's my understanding that each CCDB is valved specific to the leverage curve of each bike, too. somebody correct me if that's not right.

Unless they have recently changed things...that is incorrect.
