I've had a few days off work and managed to drag this thing from the back of my shed ...
Its a 2000 and somthing Coyote DH1 that my cousin engineered to have more travel than the standard one ....
I had the urge to start fixing up last year but got as far as added a new Raceface Ride crank and a new chain guide and thats as far as it got .....

:shock:
What happens under heavy braking, does the front fork go beyond vertical, giving you a negative head angle?0 -

Never got around to riding it mate ... its been at the back of my shed for years .....
was going to start playing about with it the other year and then couldnt be @rsed
so its probbably as far from fine tuned as you can get .....0 -
I don't think fine tuned is the word.0

The head angle isn't that bad? No worse than any other DH machines from that era.yeehaamcgee wrote::shock:

The head angle in that first picture looks about the same as my pre-2000 wolf ridge, with 120mm forks.
A set of Marzocchi Super-T forks (I think that's what they are) has quit a bit more travel than that.
It looks like the BB has been hoiked up, maybe due to some of the "engineering", which also steepens the head angle.0 -
Looks reasonably slack to me, at least as slack as my commencal, which is no bad thing0

My cousin told me they are Junior T's ???
He also made the "engineering" adjustments to it.... i think he did a few races on it so it must work
like i say its been in the back of my shed i've never ridden it as DH aint realy my bag but thought i'd post a few pics for fun ... i dont plan on racing or even riding it so i aint to bothered with head angles tbh0 -
Pretty sure it says 2001 on the lower legs. 2001 Junior Ts were blue.
Like these...
I can't remember if it was "super" Ts, or if there was even such a thing as "mister T"s but I definitely remember wanting those silver ones, as they were the model up from mine.
I know they're not Monster Ts anyway.0 -
yes they are 2001 super Ts. checked on their siteyeehaamcgee wrote:The head angle in that first picture looks about the same as my pre-2000 wolf ridge, with 120mm forks.

Wooo-aahhhh, you could loose a limb in that suspension
That said it is an engineering master-class though !
How's it ride ?0 -

lol ... yeah it looks pretty funky my cousin did the mods to it himself years ago... i think he raced it a couple of times too, not sure where n when tho....
wish i coulld tell you how it rode *AL* needs to much work for me to be @rsed to get it sorted .. it will prob just sit in the back of my shed for another X years until my missus makes me sell it0
