    Aluminum 27.5 trail rims, DT EX471 vs Spank Oozy 295

    I think that's a reasonable estimate for weight. I've been super impressed with them and the 570s so I think you'll be happy with your choice (knocking on wood so that they don't blow up when you hop off curb). Also, they are easy to set up tubeless. I have gorilla tape sealing the rim bed...

    Aluminum 27.5 trail rims, DT EX471 vs Spank Oozy 295

    Another vote for the ex471. They've held up spectacularly well for DH usage. 1 season+ and still going strong with front rim and I got about a 1 seasonish life span for the rear. If you want security, I highly recommend ex570 rims. If you wanna get fancy, a 471 front and 570 rear should be a...

    2015+ fox 36 harsh

    Damper revision may be an improvement but it doesnt sound like your current damper is functioning correctly. Call Fox again and keep doing so until you speak with someone who will let you send your unit in for warranty inspection.

    guide RSC issue?

    Interesting. What was the reasoning behind move? How is the performance and weight compared to a straight Saint and straight Magura setup?

    2016 BOS VS 2016 Float 40

    If anything changed for 2017 then it probably debuted at Sea Otter. I saw they added a climb switch for the Float X2 shock but didn't see anything for the 40. IMO, the 40 is the best DH fork on the market. Damping, stiffness, weight, serviceability, and customer service are all top notch.

    2016 BOS VS 2016 Float 40

    I've had multiple Fox 40s and have tried the Idylle Air on a friend's bike, plus listened to all his complaints about it. The short version of my advice is don't bother with the Bos, it's too much of a pain to deal with if something goes wrong. Here goes the long version: I think they are both...

    The next Shimano gravity group? opinions?

    Are you riding in ridiculously cold temps? Could be that the mineral oil, or seals or some such brake related component is acting funny in the arctic air. Thing is, adverse conditions generally make brakes work worse.

    Knolly Podium, a great deal, sizing question, inevitable head bashing

    Running 26 wheels on a 27.5 frame may be a bit of a stretch, mostly due to low BB heights. Your other geometry settings will obviously be affected too, but I'm thinking the BB would be the only insurmountable issue. My Gambler frame, which is made for 26 and 27.5, is pretty much un-rideable...

    It's true that YT's current riders are all colorful dudes. However, they also happen to be among the best in their niche. To continue that trend, why not sign the DH champ?

    Musical chair game 2016 or Teh offseason prophecy

    Was gonna say Butcher with the center knobs trimmed down. But 1) Why?! and 2) looking more closely, spacing between center knobs looks too wide to be Butcher.

    Future of the DW Turner DHR?

    Turner stopped sponsoring DH race teams about 2 years ago. I think that spelled the end of DH and a shift towards SPENDURO.
