I love that color scheme.

I have yet to see one in person that actually looks that way though.
In person, the bluegray just looks basic gray. And the blazing redorange looks... Not as vibrant.
How is yours in person?

These picture show what the paint looks like in person
Some light it looks grey and some it looks grey/blue and the orange is vibrant.

Nice build! Have some ideas of building something similar. Seems many keep the same offset even with the 160 fork. Would love to hear how u find em?

The fork offset feeling is so minimal only the top 10% of people will notice a difference.

I changed from 52mm to 44mm offset to shorten the wheelbase to compensate for the the extra 15mm of fork length.

The 160mm fox 36 made the bike feel bigger and more capable, the best upgrade for sure.

Thanks for sharing! Appreciate hearing about how you like the setup with the shorter offset.

Feel inspired

Rock Shox Pike 150mm 52mm offset vs Fox 36 160mm 44mm offset.

Huge improvement in downhill ride quality, stability and ride confidence

4-5 months of snow/ice in Northern British Columbia Canada, so I took some time while it was -35 degrees Celsius and made my own studded tires.

Worked amazing for 2 months of riding (now are off for summer) and could stop on the ice just like the dirt in the summer.
