    Cool story Hansel.

    2011 Trek Scratch+Remedy

    I find the same problems with mine- shock is not too bad for XC, but not ideal for aggressive stuff. Are you going to be making new hardware for the new shock?

    How's the Aussie Domination at the Champs??

    Yeah, but only one Aussie in the top 20, and two in the top 50 (in the men's)...

    2011 session

    Pretty keen for the downtube guard actually. I have owned '09 and '10 Session 88s and have dented the downtubes on both. The guard is removable anyway: it bolts onto the 88, and the 8 has a clip on guard.

    Sea Otter- accomodation

    Bit of a weird one here, I'm covering Sea Otter for a local mag here (in Australia). Looking to stay somewhere within a reasonable distance of the event. Any tips? I'm sure there's a few guys on here who've had experience with this...

    MTB-downhill near Nice, France possible?

    La Peille is not far from Nice and is fantastic. Good chance of seeing Vouilloz or Barel their too!

    Fit

    How tall are you? I'm just curious. You run the same saddle height as me, shorter stem, but the same size bike. FWIW, I run the same saddle height on my roadie's as I do my trail bike. Even my DH bike is only 5cm lower. I don't think there's any benefit running a lower saddle height on a...

    Anyone need new handlebars?

    Bah... just ordered new bars on Monday. Killing me!

    120+20mm does not equal 160-20mm. Or, more to a bike than how much travel it has.

    What do we think of the Trek Remedy and Fisher Roscoe? Would love a Remedy 7 or 8 with a chainguide and 34T ring for everything from 24 hour races to flatter DH racing.

    Need cranks- Campy 11 speed on BB30 frame.

    Repeatedly breaking them in the same spot. Initially I thought that it was my weight (95 kg) or my riding style, but it's actually a widespread issue. There are a few other riders in our club with the same problems (in the same place). Given the policy on replacement I think the issue is pretty...

    Need cranks- Campy 11 speed on BB30 frame.

    Guys, I'm building up a new bike for our Summer after having a fair bit of bad luck with Pinarello Princes. I have ordered a Cannondale Caad 9 which should be here shortly (probably the week after next). I plan on transferring the build kit over from my Prince (so a full 11 speed record...

    Session 88: Rider input?

    Haven't had any dramas with mine, although I have not used it as frequently as my earlier DH bikes. I'm a big rider (95kg) but I don't have a history damaging frames. Looking forward to the 2010 model purely for a different colour scheme.

    World Champs Thread

    Wow... The main rock garden has been cleaned up a lot since last year (and the previous years...). It looks almost groomed now.

    New AM/Trail bike: Remedy or Fuel EX?

    Looking for a new trail and AM bike for to go with my Session. I will be mainly riding downhill style trails, occassional 24 hour and 8 hour enduros, and 20-30 minute short track and super D events. I'm not going to be winning Elite in XC racing, so I don't mind a slightly slower bike, but I...

    Which Bike for the Megavalanche?

    Do that. A bike built for AM is perfect for the Mega, but won't hold up to a week's riding in the super choppy/rutted runs at Les Gets.

    I've been busy building...

    Did you do much work in other areas of the Portes du Soleil? Can't wait to get back there, hopefully next year.

    Another Session 88. But not a light one.

    Been running 5.1s since 2007 for DH and have not had an issue with them ever. Now is not the time to bring this up, but from my experience they're pretty well sorted. I still have the OEM wheelset for general fartarseing about with. Nothing is titanium, and I still have heavy cranks...

    Another Session 88. But not a light one.

    Here is mine. No stupid parts (in fact, a few heavy and OTT bits) giving a weight of 17.3 kg. Only two more weeks before I can ride it.

    Shimano SH-MP66 - Where to find black ones?

    I have black ones, and would kill for white ones, but they're out of stock in Australia. Can't get Vans either here, it sucks living in a backwards third world country.

    Ti SPrings?

    How are the Manitou branded ti springs classed. I have used these as well as RCS brand springs in the past, and the Manitou ones are significantly lighter than the RCS ones. But whenever the Manitou ones have come up on here, they have been called RCS springs.
