  4. That's a pretty spectacular muni! I would love to have one of those in
    26" with the big Surly tyre, it would be perfect for the sandy trails
    where I live.

    I was wondering why you went for the Intense tyre too, instead of the
    usual Gazz or Duro. Any particular reason?

    Wow, that is beautiful. The little bit of dirt on the new tire just
    seems to complete it.

    EDIT: Probailer, yes it's super huger than the KH rim, or any other rim
    for that matter. I've ridden the 26" LM/Endomorph at Moab, and I saw it
    on a bicycle at a local bikeshop.

    BTW, I haven't heard a whole lot about the Intense DH. Were do you get
    it, how much, how does it compare to the Duro?

    Got it from Alfred E Bike $40. I haven't tried it on the trail yet.
    It's tread is alot like a Gazz. Maybe a little rounder. I was getting
    the rim and other items there and it was the only 3" tire they had so I
    thought I'd take a chance and try something different. I have a Gazz
    and a Duro on other Munis.

  7. wow that is awesome. when it comes out in 24" size you should totally
    get the endomorph (sp?) tire. that is one pretty MUni though. How much
    does it weigh?

    I fall with my upper body travelling backwards and my lower body
    travelling forwards from 5' up and hit the concrete with my tailbone
    and right elbow. It hurt, but I found it quite funny.

  15. HOT!
    Like the simple color scheme a lot. The LM rim seems to be the way of
    the future for super rough hardcore DH. I'll have to consider it
    seriously when i get enough money- and live in a place where there are
    enough trails to justify it.
    thanks for the pics- give us a review on how the rig goes once you've
    taken it for a bash,
    mark

  18. Didn't get a chance to weigh the whole beast. But... the frame is 1247
    grams or 2.75 lbs. vs. a KH at 679 grams or 1.5 lbs. I'm gonna weigh
    the entire beast when I get it back to work here on Monday.
