It qualifies as a great vid, because it does what all great vids do... makes me want to ride! Jack Fogelquist for President!

ah, just one some frame sizes and productions the resevoir would hit the DT as you have it mounted. is worse for small frames mind you.

Very nice. but I'd turn that shock round so that the reservoir was btween shock and seat tube when in 5" setting.

I am runnining the dhx 5 shock on my rune

I am around just under 13 stone and ride quite aggresivly most the time so do these presures sound about right to you oor is there something obvious i could try !
i would be interested in you thoughts !
cheers .

my demo had a 615mm toptube,if i were to look at the wildcard would it best to look at the large as it has the closest toptube.

saying that my old marin rocky ridge has a 23.5 inch toptube similar to the medium wildcard.

picking colour is easy but sizing does my head in.

Hi keith.
I took my rune to Cwm Carn downhill track yesterday fo an uplift with a few friends,I was well impressed with its peformance on a pretty narled up track with big switch backs lots of square edge hits and rocks everywhere.I have taken my scream,scythe and wildcard before but i think the rune was the most comfortable ride i have had there but the scythe was very plush also.
I found it easy to keep up with the big bikes like v10s and left them all standing hahaha.
Its real cool to have a bike i can easliy pedal round the forest trails but feels like a much bigger and very plush ride on the downhill.I can only imagine what the Legend must be like.
Any way i real impressed and i will get some photos up soon.
cheers chris.......

Hi keith
After our chat on the phone the other day i kept an eye on the play in the pivot and like you said it seems to have gone away and everything seems well strong !
I have done three days solid ridin on the new Rune a mix of xc,FAST single track descents at the forest of dean and some local downhill with 15 ft gaps to nice landings.
The frame is faultless! I love the suspension feel although i need to tweak some of the settings a bit but that will come with more time on the bike.
3rd oct im doing a uplift at Cwm Carn downhill track in Wales so ill let you know how it performed!
cheers for all your help.
Chris....

Hi keith
I just tried out my new Rune and its awsome,I cant believe the suspension FANTASTIC.
there is some play in the pivot on the seat post which im not sure how to resolve!
But apart from that i am really impressed it desends like a downhill bike in my opinion !
and pedals a dream !
well done another fantastic Banshee frame.
chers chris.
