well it's the end of the KHS. I broke a weld today out at post canyon. the weld on the chainstay closest to the brake caliper. rear triangle is a total loss, may be able to get another one but it'll have the same weak points and is bound to happen again.

took it out today. got a few pics but none real great lol. Fiance gotta get the timing down on the cam. but it rode pretty nice. took some decently big stuff. biggest was about a 5 ft drop and it did great. Got the shock and fork in perfect tune with eachother. anything i hit the bike just levels out haha.

lol well i think, going to get a real test in this weekend. just seems to me to be the best place for it cause the leverage ratio. with it in the furthest hole back it seems it would put alot more stress on the pivot.

i talked to the warranty consultant at KHS and told him i was running my Jr. T, and that it was 7 inch of travel. He told me everything should be fine but he wouldn't advise going more than a 7 inch. feels pretty good doesn't feel like it hammers in either direction or anything but then again i also changed my rear shock from a 7.5 i2i to a 7.875 so it lifted the rear a little and brought the geo back in. i've heard that even without changing rear shock that they do just fine

Thanks!yep it's mine just finished it and took it out for a test run yesterday lol. That's when i snapped the snow pic of it on my pod. i changed the rear shock from a 7.5 i2i to a 7.78 or 7.87 or whatever i2i and the stroke from a 2" to a 2.25" it feels really nice and brings my geo back in a little from the 7" fork.

Thank you! Its a great bike! Now would be the time to get one. I only payed 2150$ + taxes for mine. Im sure you could get a great deal! You dont want to wait because next year, they are bound to be a bit more expensive and youll probably have to wait till autumn to get a discount.
