| Getting hold of CF is one thing....cutting it is another......that stuff is so abrasive, jigsaw blades and drill bits dont last long munching through it... | |

| nice ..... gunnar body mounts!!!! .... the rig is looking bad ass!!!!! .... nice ride height .... i'm guessing 3" infront and 3 1/2" in the back of the skid plate .... perfect break over set-up .... center of balance is just right with a slight forward bias .... although 6lbs + is a bit heavy (remember dindo's berg???) ..... try to drop the weight down to 5.5 lbs and have a tunable weight option such as VP Pro DH's or Knuckle weights to increase the rig up to 6lbs which is ....(from what i've crawled with) .... the sweet spot weight for the al ain mountains ..... if you go to creek park .... i feel 5.5 lbs would be the nice comfort zone as the rocks there a bit more slippery .... @paul ...... winter has come and gone buddy ..... your LOSI was built to get scratched up .... its sitting cozy with the wild cat huh????? .... i believe richard is coming up this friday ..... come and join us ..... i'll let you use my berg!!!! NOTE: ... the beauty of COMP CRAWLING is that ..... we're not out there competing with each other ..... we're competing with the A$$ who set-up those impossible break overs .... side hills and gates ... | |
