Lee Canyon in Las Vegas , getting more acquainted with his his bike for the summer race season

so this is a little “poor ol me” first world problem. to preface. i sold everything i own to be able to buy a race bike for this season. so i am being nit picky because im not a rich person….but short story long…. i have this bike (pictured) and the color is fixing atrocious. grounds keeper customs doesn’t make anything for santa cruz and all the other wrap companies only make clear wraps.. aside from painting it which will be a winter project, what can i do to remedy this problem. anybody use other brand of fitted wraps?

Last year I bought a 2017 Canfield Jedi, but the component spec leaves a lot to be desired. I'm just now getting around to working on it and upgrading parts (I haven't even ridden it yet because the forks are shot). It came with a Fox DHX RC4 with SLS and I'm curious how it compares to newer shocks, particularly the DHX2. This bike is my 8th DH bike, but I've never had any experience with the RC4 or DHX2. The RC4 definitely needs a rebuild so I'm trying figure if I should send it off to be serviced or buy something new. I'm not set on the DHX2, but it's one of the few 9.5 x 3 options that I can still buy new, ideally I'd like a double barrel coil, but even used ones are very hard to find these days.

You can clearly see that it says bender under the seat and that it says monster on the fork

this is a brake splitter thingy, which enables you to run two rear calipers from just one lever.

ive seen it on a surron but i need to know if it actually makes more stopping power or is it just for looks,

or atleast has some pros

if anyone has this, please comment. ty

I have a 2022 Rocky Mountain altitude C 70. Currently I have 180mm Fox38 that only fit a 27.5, I want to make it a mx/mullet. Fox obviously makes a fork that fits 29s and a fork that fits just 27.5. But they also make a fork that fits 27.5 and 29. Since I want to run the 29 what’s the difference here between the fork thats made for a 29 or the fork thats made to offer both 27.5/29 Im guessing there’s still plenty of arch room on the 27.5/29 to offer the 29 safely so what is different and what should I be going with here? Thanks

Only thing that hasnt been replaced or upgraded are the brakes and dropper post

Rear triangle has been warrantied and replaced. I did break the top tube in non-bike related accident, but its been professionally repaired with a warranty on the patch. It wasn't a bad brake, but I figured i should have it patched, because the carbon was damaged. Aside from that, theres a bit of wear here and there, usual scratches and stuff, little bit of wear on the inside of the rear triangle. Iv ridden it fairly hard, bike parts and such. Its been maintained really well and always washed after rides Based in colorado US

Thinking about buying it

I have noticed the rear shock linkage is diffrent but i am sure it could be modified, and it has an albeit old dual crown fork.

What do you guys think?
