Not sure if the spring on the rear is titanium or not, I'll have to ask! Front is air. The whole front end of this bike should feel a lot better on the trails. The axle up front is now 20mm vs 10mm from before, also the wheel is extremely heavy duty, and the front fork has 36mm stanchions now!

Didn't realize that was a before and after for the bike, as well as the sale of the bus until you mentioned it, haha!

They started using kashima coating because the old Fox Float Evol shocks they used for MX would stick if they werent being used. Literaly the shock would be stuck in its resting position.

I loved my fox shocks, but i just got a set of Stage 5 elkas for my quad and they are half the weight of the air shocks, and they are progressive spring, so i dont have to check air pressure every time i ride

No problem, when you upload pictures to facebook just right click on the picture, hit "copy image URL" and then go here and click the little yellow box when you are making a post and paste it there. if you want to post from your iphone, just get the photobucket app and copy the img code from there

Pete- i dont plan on buying any rims for quite sometime...all of my money (which is barely enough to fill my tank) goes to saving up for racing

I've been pulling bushes, weeding, spreading mulch, and general spring clean up. If I had seen you driving by I would have stopped you and loaded up your truck lol
