I've got the 1Up hitch rack and a roof tray. first off, the hitch rack is coming up on 10 years of steady use and still going strong. so it's got that going for it. The 1Up on the roof is the same as the hitch, other than the obvious fact that you have to lift your bike up onto the roof... I...
that was great racing, and a pretty rad live feed that felt like it covered a lot of the course. is leogang cool yet?
gee is a fookin cyborg. dude takes the hardest slams and just shakes it off and gets back to business. meh, just a top20 this weekend when his body is practically falling...
I think there could be something to this. my 2016 float rc2 felt ok out of the box, but started feeling harsh even after I serviced the lowers/changed seals a couple times. I eventually sent it back to fox when I found wear marks on the stanchions that looked like bushing wear. they replaced the...
so since Mik and Brannigan aren't top20 protected riders coming into this round, does that mean we're not going to see them on the live racing feed? half of the top 20 qualifiers aren't going to be in the feed if that's the case. Redbull needs to fix that sh!t asap!
to answer your second question first, I would definitely get a DH/reinforced rim for the rear at least, even for a trail bike. I haven't run them on a DH bike, but I did break one of the older 23mm (internal)/400g rims on my trail bike.
regarding cornering on the wide rims, they just didn't...
I ran 23mm (internal) Light Bicycle crabons on my trail bike, replaced the rear with a 27mm LB -- really liked the 27. I spent a week or so on Ibis 741s (35mm internal) and had mixed feelings, on very fast, open, rocky trails, they were awesome. but on tighter trails with more corners they...
there's a huge thread over on MTBR about the "AM" rims. I've been running them on my trail bike for six months and they're going strong (knocks wood). mostly bay area riding, Pacifica, Marin etc. no drama running them at the China Peak enduro race a couple weekends ago, which was basically...
landcruiser, if you are still watching this thread, please please please tell your tire folks to make the Butcher in Armadillo and GRID casings for trail/pedally bike use. I'm running the Butcher Control front and rear and after only ~2 weeks my rear tire already has several sidewall cuts, so...
sick V10c. besides the tires the build seems pretty reasonable. are you planning to pedal it or just wanted to see how light you could go for ****s and gigs?
pinkbike did a review of these a couple days ago and thought they didn't spin freely enough for a pedal designed for climbing. what do you guys think in that regard?
the IPO is still a ways off, that was the initial filing of their registration statement. it'll be at least a few months until the shares are trading, so you guys have some time to scrape together some cash to buy in to this bad boy.
sorry no experience with the straightline but I've been underwhelmed with my mini G this winter. it's had a hard time dealing with muck and muddy riding conditions compared to the gamut p20 I used previously. I use them on trailbikes, if you're not pedaling much it may not be an issue. chain...
I've got a low mileage '10 ReignX frame (large) up for sale. sick sick bike, it has no business pedaling as well as it does considering the downhill prowess. personally I loved the feel of the low BB, it absolutely rails corners and because of the anti-squat I didn't find pedal strikes to be an...
bumping this old thread because I've been thinking about bar/stem combos on my trail bike. I thought "conventional wisdom" (for trail bikes at least) was that short stems and higher bars gave better DH/tech performance (kinda borrowing from moto setups) and long stems/low bars was for climbing...
I have no opinion whatsoever on diablo but this insurance coverage is pretty interesting. I assumed that was the main benefit the sanctioning bodies provide, but the $500 limit on Orthopedic expenses is a joke considering that is the most likely type of injury to occur in a race. $500 will not...
