    Ah those, thought he meant the toolpath lines common on hope product. Aren't those for helping clear mud?

    I think you'll find it actually stands for, No Other Equipment, Moron.

    Hopefully this means DVO OEM on their higher end builds, instead of that RS crap.

    Been on the same Saint cranks since 2010. Passed them through different bikes, each with new BB. Zero issues, I love them. What's 300grams to us?

    https://www.pinkbike.com/news/srams-new-dub-cranks-and-bottom-brackets-first-look.html 28.99mm.... from 30mm. One, fucking. mili. fucking. meter. And. Here. We. Go. SRAM off to the races! Looks like my predictions are spot on, as usual.

    Downhill WC 2018

    They are pretty tight lipped but my understanding is there is testing going on and they will win on whatever size is used..... ;)

    Hardtails and you

    I'll be grabbing another. I love them for mellow or flow trails (same shit I guess), cardio workouts, gravel or double track, etc. Perfect for pounding out miles in any conditions. It's also nice for crappier weather as they are easy to clean and maintain. That said, for any 'fun' riding I'll...

    2018 predictions thread

    Was thinking of getting a 29/27.5+ hardtail for snow riding around here, to avoid a fatbike. Tried one and it sucked donkey balls for going fast, floppy and poor tracking, but for slow riding it prob wont be bad. Not sure how great they are in snow though, but I'd like to ride the other 10...

    Is this still the "Downhill" forum?

    Meh, this forum is pretty active and it does involve plenty of DH related discussion esp when race season is on. Should be noted that DHers are typically hands on and with more experience so you'll get more questions here. DHers also tend to travel tons, ride many destinations. I know one...

    Naw, I had that fork till 2014 and only recently sold it. It was a protune job and was pretty stellar. I have a 2016 36 Float now as well, it's ok. A bit harsh off the top but all in all it's a good fork. And yes Kidwoo. Deal. With. It. 2018: people still take forums too seriously.

    2018 predictions thread

    They already have this covered. What they have done is make shittier parts and components. People get used to crap, then when they 'fix' it it's a whole new world! See fox: Amazing float forks back in 2008. Adjustable. Tons of feel, LSC and HSC dials. etc. Along comes CTD to ruin dampening by...

    Oh, how could I forget freeride. Freeride: Rampage still exists and people still huck off cliffs and the hosts still talk nonsense. Someone gets 2nd for having the perfect run. Someone gets 1st for a bunch of dead sailors and one huge trick, probably cam zink or his "best friend" kyle...

    2018: UCI DH: multiple teams will try out 29" wheels. Multiple riders wont suit them and will revert back, again. Warner will talk nonsense. Redbull player will still suck for most. Gwin will win on whatever he rides and Greg will retire with a winless season and multiple broken carbon wheels...
