Thanks

I might do that ('11 300 Race) if the deal is right and the forks work decent with no first year flaws. How do they work in rocks/roots/sharp edge stuff? As long as they can be valved correctly without drama no problem. I'm just waiting for some ride reports, and the price of the '12 before I pull the trigger.

Glenn,
Jeff Melik has quite a bit of time on the new 300 race wth the 48 Zokes. He says they take about 10 hours to break in. Then he told me they were the best stock fork he had ever ridden. After the rocky/rooty PA National Enduro two weekends ago, he told me that he thought the re-valved Ohlins were prolly better on the little stuff but that the Zokes had waaaay better bottoming resistance. He said he was going to have his suspension guy lighten up the initial travel for little stuff.
I got a Nambo for me and my son but we haven't even started them yet. Hopefully can ride them later this week.

Thanks Clay. I anticipate some valving tweaks, always do that. I was bummed I missed the national and meeting you guys in CrossFork, been doing that one for years. I waited for a buddy to clear his schedule and missed the 500 rider cap. By PA standards, thats a fairly smooth course.

I had been offered a nambo from a dealer but it really puts me off that they arrive so late in the season for us up here in Canada. If were lucky we ride into the first week of November. The nambo arriving early to mid august in my opinion is really horrible for the guys wanting to get a whole summer of riding in on there new bike. Whatever there reasoning is, it seems to me like a poorly laid out plan to showcase there flagship bikes at the end of summer right before the 12's are released. Just my 2 cents

Oh yeah it came with the kit as advertised.Top notch Gasgas.I binned the horrible std footpegs for a set of pivots and was good to go.

You know, Trev....I agree. I asked the factory why they do this and was told that it was done late in the year to create some excitement about the brand during the lull between the last release of the non replica bikes and the coming year's models. Seems backwards to me, too. Also, the bikes were later this year due to a vendor's delivery problems. Our bikes were 40 days later than planned due to this one vendor.
Thanks Clay. gasmonkey glad to hear the RACE comes with the extra stuff. I'm 99% sure my next bike will be a 200 RACE.

I'm thinking 300 Race or '12 300 XC. After years on 250s I'd like to try a 300 but I'll be keeping my 250 for a little while too. If I can't get along with the 300 I could always make it a 250. Plus I have an option to pick up a GG125 cheap to use as a small bore racer/project bike.

Just built up the nambotin replica today. Bike is stunning. Shock and linkage is much different than my 250 six days was. My other TTX shock had the csc adjuster mounted on a totally different side of the shock.
Enjoy
