Might be wrong but throwing this out there, once up to speed aren't most hits more like square waves(many frequencies present) than simple low frequency? Also don't nearly all hits have components perpendicular(side to side and straight back) to the direction the suspension moves in and thus are...
I wear one all the time and have crashed a bunch of times wearing it but never once has it saved my ass. What I have noticed though is that it has never affected my ability to tuck and roll which is a pleasant surprise.
I'm 6'2"(188 cm) I usually like large frames, my 010 frame is a large. I was able to parking lot test a medium for size and I found the medium and large felt very close size wise. At your height I don't think a large would be excessively huge for you especially if you're lanky. I have the works...
I had my 2010 01 with the vivid and I liked it, but the lack of adjustment finally caused me to get a Double Barrel. The double barrel is great, I love it because I'm a knob turner, but if you don't plan on doing a lot of fiddling around the vivid is solid. It actually feels pretty similar to...
HAd the same thing happen with my 2010 Boxxer. In my case it's oil from the lowers squeezing past that o-ring up into the damper. Mine was so bad that after a couple of runs it would go up a cm or two, and when you pulled it out you could clearly see the green oil of the lowers mixed in with the...
FWIW I wouldn't be too concerned about the stock geo on the Glory. I measured mine at 14.2 BB height with 64.7 head angle Stock with 2.5 minions front and rear. I have since put in Works -1 degree cups and it now measures in at a hair less than 64 in the head angle with the bottom bracket at...
Great discussion Socket but I'm curious about imputs into the frame with large components perpendicular to the direction the suspension opperates?
Surely over the course of a long run there should be plenty of these types of hits to feel them?
