    This Carbon thing is getting out of hand

    they sell direct to the customer. I got a large carbon lifeline frame from them earlier this year and the antidote guys were amazing. Super helpful and the frame is incredible. Super light but still remarkably stable at speed and just a dream in the corners.

    Hipster Sunday rider seeks new frame

    i owned a sunday back in the day, had a v10, was on the order list for an original evil revolt and ended up with an m9. I loved my sunday but i had some custom valving in the shock to help with the midstroke support and my HA was a little slacker. it rode amazing and i loved the thing to death...

    Truvativ XO DH crank arms cross section pic

    arent they pretty much the exact same thing? the dh just has the single spider rather than the 2x10 spider - and the dh comes in red which isnt nearly as cool as the chrome/silver all mountain XOs

    How much sag are you running?

    yeah, i didnt think the 450 was stiff enough, felt a little gushy in the corners, bogged down in the rough and didnt snap through or carry as much speed as the 500, better traction but only by a tiny tiny bit... it might have something to do with the rear shock and the settings your running on...

    my large candy apple green m9 weighed a little over 12 pounds frame with a ccdb on it - this is around 7.3 pounds - and is definitely stiffer in the rear end

    CCDB Air loss with sitting?

    are you a ryan dungey fan? that might be the problem, the instant he started bouncing on that thing at A3 i felt all the air in my various air sprung suspensions suddenly fail

    Stans ZTR Flow EX: thoughts and experiences

    i have some laced to hadleys on my m9 - been running them for awhile now, absolutely love them. Held up super well so far, ridden lots of very rocky trails and had a few races on them on pretty rough fast tracks. No dents, only the new wheel checkup true and just a few scratches from where ive...

    Sell me on the Leatt Brace

    love my leatt - i usually ride really steep gnarly stuff here in CO and still some really steep stuff, but its usually mellower back home in OR. for me it feels weird to ride my dh with a full face and not have it on - when you start riding with it, it will definitely feel weird - i noticed the...
