my mate has one of these, have you put a harder spring set in the stances?
And his has an annoying tendancy to break his hanger does yours do this also?

I am pretty light so the stances are just fine. I have broken a few hangers but nothing unusual, i still keep a spair one though.
That looks good, the DHX makes it look cool.
nice ride but get a shorter stem and it will look the goods.
P.S if you need to make the forks harder srew the right cap off (i think its the right)
and place a couple of 20 cent coins over the spring to give it preload.
i no its doggy but it works.

Good tip, i think new forks will be on the agenda to.
Yer that doesnt look to bad, never been a fan of Ac's but this one looks the goods, the rear shock wheely pics it up.

It's odd you have stances and then a DHX 5.0. Just need some new single crowns and it'll be $$$P.I.M.P.$$$.
The stances have serven me well though but yes new forks is my next priority.

Thats dodgy as hell...alas, I like it!
New forks are my only comment...Grab som Sherman Fireflys or Flicks...they perform wheely well on ACs and you can get them for a steal these days in reasonable condition.
How are the wheels holding up mate?
