Team Bike Setups?

Well, we are very lucky to have such great product to race on this year even with the economy the way it is. We will be racing DH on the Giant Glory with all Manitou suspension. The all new Manitou Dorado was the biggest surprise!!!! There’s a good informational writeup of it here. They have really stepped up their game with this fork. I mean, it just makes you want to go faster knowing how well it tracks and absorbs the hits under you. Other parts are Manitou Revox rear shock with Obtainium Ti spring, SunRigle ADD Lites wheels, Hayes Stroker Ace brakes, RaceFace Atlas cranks, RaceFace bars and seat post, SunLine Direct Mount stem, ODI grips, MRP G2 chain guide, KMC chain, THE Flow seat, Crank Brothers pedals, and SRAM X.9 shifter and derailleur. The bike is at 40.7lbs right now with the tires on it. We are sponsored by ITS tires and are waiting on the new 2009 tires to come in. Once we have them the bike should come in around 39.7lbs.

Real World Specs:

* Weight is 40.7lbs now with the current tires and should be 39.7lbs with the ITS Tires
* TT Length: 21”
* Wheel Base: 45.5”
* Stand Over: 30”
* Head Tube Angel: 65 Degrees
* Bar height from Ground: 40”
* BB Height: 14”

Anything special that you’ve changed to get these spec’s?

Yea, with just about every part changed on the bike from its stock from we were able to achieve a few geometry tweaks as well as an overall lighter weight. One example of a change we did was swap the rear stock Glory axle with a Sun Ringle one. It dropped the weight .3lbs (138g) in just that one part. The parts from the rest of our sponsors also helped significantly in helping us get what we feel is the best setup for the Giant Glory. Check the sicklines weight gallery or weight section for some of the weights of our build.

To get the front end a little bit lower we also swapped out the lower headset cup for a flush mount. This let us drop the front end a good bit more and get the bottom bracket a bit lower too. The Manitou Dorado also has some adjustability to let us further tweak the head angle / bottom bracket height more by moving the fork up or down the stanchions.

There are other tweaks we’ve done as well. If you want to know what other changes we did feel free to ask on our website’s forum, or at the races.

39.7 libbre è un peso eccezionale, oltre ad avere un montaggio da sbavo con la Dorado.....:-?
