May 2011 - Andrew YETI 303

[Andrew]

I first saw a 303 25th when I was at Fort William world cup in 2010, there were loads of shots on the net, but it was super special to see Aaron Gwin was giving it some on the DH track all weekend, Aaron later got a great 4th position. I decided there and then, somehow a new 303 would be mine!
Limited to 100 world wide, and all made in the Yeti Factory, its a very rare machine, and no doubt many will be kept under wraps, I however intend to get some use out of mine. I wont abuse it by loading it on tractor trailers and getting it all wrecked, but I’ll make sure it gets used and I have fun with it. These things might have some collector value, but they are built to be ridden!

This has to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen. And that they are individually numbered!
I would love one. I don't even have my DH9 yet!

As for your rims. Are you running really low pressures? I used to do that all the time, a friend said to add about 10 PSI. I only noticed a slight difference in traction but managed to save my rims.

I usually run about 25 front 28 rear, but a little more if it's rocky. I'll get some stronger rims next time I get the wheels built. The 5.1 are a bit too light for me I think.
