I was thinking of a Marzocchi fork... they 2013 versions seemed pretty well received?, so Im thinking the 2014 will be solid. I can get a bos at a decent...

    Carbon V10

    Hi Banzai, you mentioned in your post that some of the XL's are shorter? could you expand on that? Its interesting.... I would of thought SC would just have one mould for the XL considering the price of them. Did you ever measure the distance from the bottom of the headtube to the centre of...

    Carbon V10

    Hey, I have an XL Im 6'5 - 6'6. I find it a bit small, Id like another little bit on the TT. Im long legged . Its not a huge bike by anymeans. Its actually comparable to some other bike manufacturers large, for example the L spec demo is prob a little longer on the TT. (the demo has very short...

    Any DHers had LASIK?

    Dont know if I made it clear but I find with my PRK eye (no flap) and my Lasik eye, the PRK is/was way more sensitive, If ever I wake up in a dusty place the PRK eye is very sensitive and that is years later.. If you are suited to the Lasik get it done. I never have any sensitivity in it. If you...

    Any DHers had LASIK?

    Some interesting points here, I'm unusual in that I have had PRK and Lasik done on me. I had one eye done with PRK years ago like in 1997 I think , I then got Lasik done about 2005. The reason I took so long to get my other eye done was I really didn't enjoy the PRK experience, basically PRK...

    Pivot Phoenix geo = strange

    Yes, but it really helps to get an idea of the frame size when the manufacturer states the Fork height and the stack height. TT is much more useless as there are too many variables.

    Carbon V10

    I have a Santa Cruz v10 carbon. I have no issues with bolts loosening.... 1. The lower bolt on the shock has not loosened one bit, and I am on my second Alpine trip this summer since tightening it. 2. The rear wheel bolt? I'm almost a week in the swiss alps battering the bike every day and it...

    pleney morzine

    I rode Le Pleney Last week its still there!, there's as much braking bumps on it as you would find in mid-season, basically no maintenance really. There's a few new trails most notably the one under the lift....Its in the open, I wouldn't be getting too excited about it...no trees, roots or...

    Izimu vs. Socom

    I have never ridden a moorwood. I have socom for a while now. The steep headangle is ideal if you are not riding really steep stuff. '07 and feb '08 have a 1 degree change in head angle, I have the 08 and it was fairly steep I put 2 degree angle headset adjusters and the difference for me was...
