Black Vixen Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks for the replies guys...Tatsumaru - Yeah I mean wheels keep locking :s sorry! Slick - I have that...maybe im just not used to the fox abs yet!

Tatsumaru Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 slick you're putting disk on the back of your fox?? surely you could put the front disks on your fox on the back and get some giant ones on the front? might be able to save some pennies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
