I've picked up yesterday, but I haven't tested yet. It's RAM Ht.one db 2008,
and 661 Strike 2008. I only have one questoin for you about the helmet:
I don't know how to fasten the retention straps under the chin :oops: , any video
or manual from you guys would be a lot of help.
So what do you think? Any questions?

    That looks like a pretty well set up bike mate. You might want to change the pedals though.


    About the helmet, if you take a picture of the fastening it would be helpful. However, I presume it's a double D type fastening (two 'D' shaped metal loops on the end of one strap and just a strap on the other with no attachment?).

    I'm afraid I don't know of any videos or manuals do you'll have to make do with this explanation. Right, what you do is thread the strap through the middle of the two 'D's and out the other side. Then separate the 'D's and thread it through the futher one (hope this is making some sense :wink: ) so it points back the way it came, it should go over the top and then under. The 'D' it's supposed to go through often has a bit of fabric attached to it.


    Hope this helps, just ask if you need any clarification.

    Interesting looking bike.

    The fork makes me think it's a straight XC bike, but the small frame and relaxed looking headtube make it look more 'hardcore'.

    Thanks mate, you were a lot of help there. But if you want a pic then here:

    It's a XC frame, but many guys are using it for jumps too, and no one had any problems with it.
    But I don't get one thing, they say Dart 2 has adjustable rebound, but this one hasn't.
    It has internal not external like the Dart 3. So what's the differenc between the Dart 1 and 2?
