Hi, can you tell me of some good Downhill tracks in China? Thanks

They are Kowa 160ss from Japan. Really nice, but a bit long so takes some fiddling with the adj. travel to feel right on my Dirtbag.

That was easy wasn't it. If you want to start a company with a good rep best to be henest. Its a good idea to be careful how you reply to comments too: "The only thing that hurts is when someone from China comes onto a public forum throwing liable remarks before researching the facts and contacting us directly (or even reading the article in full)" I read the article in full twice cheers. Why does it bother you so much I'm in China? (I'm actually British) Anyway I honestly hope you do well, just remeber there's always going to be a smart arse like when you post on a public forum, and its best not to get hurt but rather learn from the experiance. Oh, nice company name!

the suspension is fine however the rest needs a total rethink

Don't get me wrong I hope your company does well, however I really don't think you should be claiming the bike are designed and build in the U.S when they're not. The Wakazashi is a cataloge bike from Taiwan so you can't even claim you designed. It's best to be honest from the start, there's nothing wrong with a Taiwanese frame so tell customers the truth.

"All 100% USA fabricated, designed and built" Sorry chaps but this is a bit of a lie! The Wakazashi frame is the same frame we've been testing for Preacher Bikes. It is not made in the U.S but actually in Taiwan. We tested for a few weeks and the back end wore out alarmingly quickly. I'm at work at the mo but once I get home I'll post pics. Also its too big for a SS bike (thats how we wanted to market it) its actually designed as an XC bike.
