nice bike! mine is all rusted out and crap so i cant ride it anymore cause its also too small.

[T-Bird]

very nice it's custom made correct! that is the new one? I need to get out and ride again I just sold my old bike since it was for when I was about 6-8 inches shorter It was a Trek nothing too special.

[jon_s]

It is not the new one, this is onw of the last DH9s to be made. No one outside Yeti knows about the new DH, there is plenty of speculation though!

You can have the frame custom made, but the added cost is not worth it IMO, so i got the 'standard' one.

Oh, and yes you should get out and ride!

[coombsie66]

Fuckin awsome mate!!! And great to see you bounce back from the unfortunate experience of loosing your last one to thieving scummers, bigger and better than before!!!!
Are those the 'sticky' tyres? How does it ride? Absolutely ridiculous amounts of plush travel no doubt, but i bet it feels like a crosser wiv no engine!!! :wink:

[RC45]

I hate to be a stickler, but could you please post a cutom pic of the manual on the back wheel? ;) :P

[coombsie66]

^^ LOL :lol:

[Fleischmann]

I wonder how your bike "stacks up" to my Kona Nunu :wink:

[jon_s]

I hate to be a stickler, but could you please post a cutom pic of the manual on the back wheel? ;) :P

LOL, you will have to wait a week, as it is not my digi cam hehe Oh, what page number do you want lol

Yes, they are sticky tyres the difference they make is quite shocking! I still need to set up the rear shock (I mean, get someone else to set it up for me) once that is sorted the bike will be perfect. This time it is properly insured, so I don't have to worry about that.

[TT]

HAHAHHA ;)

Nice bike dude :D

[fabro_s]

Hhahahahaah, nice bike, I bet it is a good ride for the mountains!

[5vz-fe]

That's a sick bike dude!!!!!!! :shock:

[dgmorr]

Wow...DH9. I assume that is "9" inches of travel? If so, that is CRAZY!

[schnell318]

Wow , looks really really great take care of it :D

[SFDMALEX]

That looks great. I dont live the baby blue colour but the bike looks awesome. I always wanted to ride one of them with disk brakes and all.

[jon_s]

Believe it or not, it is not blue lol, the camera cannot get the colour right, even in the flesh it is hard to pin point what colour it is. I did not have a choice over the colour, as it is the only colour that Yeti team bikes come in! 8) I am growing to love it.

[stracing]

nice! i love watching mountain bike competitions. but too scared for myself to have a crack at it

but i don't think a custom pic is needed by you...if it was some newbie then yes

[jon_s]

Hehehe, cheers Stracing, I will take one as a laugh if I get a chance this weekend. Here is a slightly 'greener' one:

p.s the rider is not me, and the bike is not mine lol........no BS here :wink:

[Skyliner]

Have spent the last five minutes when i last took a ride on my bike... and haven't figured it out yet...... btw, nice bike! Do you have problems with the disc starting to fade to? :D

[jon_s]

Fade, humm. Believe it or not, it is how you ride. For example, when I first hit the French alps, I dragged the brakes everywhere and then I suffered from fade, as the heat build up was too much. When you learn a course, you are off the brakes, and only brake when needed, therefore they have more time to cool down, so no fade.
