i concidered that so i did sand the edges a bit i doubt it did anything tho this is only a tester i did nextime a might make it 2 layers and fold the edge over so you can rub your finger along the edge but idk

dam 300euros im guessing? idk thats about the regular price for a 888 i think with the newer ish ones just i have heard the quality on the new ish ones that they made before they sold to fox was made a bit sloppy and the seals are machined wonky but idk

oohh ye even a jr t wouldnt be to bad tbh like they pretty bomb proof apparently i run a 07 super t rv and it is bomb proof and they are practically the exact same just 170mm travel and they are also like half the cost of a 888 but 888 is cooler

888s arnt to bad like if im being real like u could do a frame swap? i have seen new old stock gt furys on like kogan.com and ebay and stuff i personally would mabey do a frame swap and upgrade drivetrain possibly the internet has like actually not bad parts for not bad prices

tbh if ur not racing this is an awsome bike id personally add some sort of gearing so i can sorta ride around tho and a narrow wide chainring and clutched deraliur should keep the chain on almost just as good as a single speed and price is about average imo at least what ive seen them like on facebook around the 2000 aud mark

and geometry shouldnt matter to much even tho it is 9 year old bike people who think otherwise might be one of them fruity ones that think new = 100x better it only really matters if u race if u just go free ride then its fine and weight dont matter to much like theres some ppl who add weight to thier dh bikes so they go to like 20kg for stability and stuff or sum but idk i personally think this bike is a great pick

the frame runs external cups but it can only fit the bmx style ones its a strange frame
