Technically it is the 4x/Slopestyle bike. 100-140mm up front, 100mm in back...it is primarily my groomed bike park jumpline rig and more local flowy stuff. I got one of the first Nuggets...Chris Akrigg runs the new one, which I think has some new features. Great bang for the buck, since its my 4th rig... http://www.pinkbike.com/video/184385/

When the lines get long, head to the jumps...more than enough to keep me busy for the day.

The original prototype Turbocharger had some complete cutout parts...5 minutes of testing proved that it wasn't the greatest idea. The added rigidity from the 1-2mm of material between the pockets is essential to the structure. Realistically, the amount of mud that gathers there and actually stays is extremely minimal given how much mud is likely on your rig. The 32T specific guide is a nice option for people with super low slung frames (DH race, Trail, etc) who just want to maximize ground clearance.

I talked myself out of a set of those right before I hit the order button...have the older white Freeriders...still good for another season, unfortunately. :(

The Turbocharger should be rotated 90 degrees...the thinner portions (and one of the logos) should be hidden by the crank arm. As is, the bash will not work as intended and fail much sooner.

hiya mate, I saw you were helping some people with chain device info. Ive got a Giant AC1 and it has two sprockets at the front which I need to change to just one big one with a chain device on it. But im not too sure which size chain device will fit on to my frame? cheers, Bex.

Hey man, I just got an E13 ls1 for my commencal supreme 2010 today. Have a problem though - the top guide is hitting the swingarm when compressed, this has started to scrape already and I've only ridden round the carpark! :/ Any help would be great, cheers
