    Is DH racing dying?

    From my perspective, which is admittedly limited, there's a disconnect between DH and other cycling. I'm referring to progression. If DH is the pinnacle of technical MTB, what would one call the natural progression? The oft used comparison of DH is to F1, and there there is a clear progression...

    Q-factor and DH bikes (or is a wider BB really better?)

    IMO, motorcyclists have to lean more because they have a counter the gyroscopic effects of a rotational mass at high speed than an MTB to contend with. Note what happens when they don't get the lean right, or something goes wrong: they often get high sided as the bike stands itself upright...

    Nothing can stop the CG!

    htf do you tear your femoral artery? i mean, how many times has that ever happened... not only to tear the darn thing, but tear the skin as well, and nothing else is wrong?? was it an old scar ripped open, or was a surgical wound incurred during the reconstruction of the pelvis he shattered...

    Intense M9, creaking?

    creaking while pedalling? try the flip chips as has been previously mentioned. also check that lower linkage bolt as it might need tightening if the bolting is of the original design. It can loosen by itself. But start with those flip chips. Check if the anodizing has come off, because once it...

    M9 upper link bearings

    M9 uses the 6001-series (12x28x8mm) bearings. Some of the earlier users manuals incorrectly specified 6200 series, which didn't fit as I discovered.

    DVO Suspension - potential new player?

    given the low viscosity index of the oil prescribed by the shock and fork manufactures, i wonder how well the temperature is intended to be controlled. typically, a low visco index oils tend to exhibit large swings in viscosity for any given temperature changed when compared with oils having a...

    Exclusive: Sam Hill's 2013 Team CRC/Nukeproof Pulse frame

    seriously horrendous labelling. I hope they paying Sammo a ****load of do$h, or rather, I hope, as one of the premiere, formost DH proponents the world has ever known (yes, rabid fanboism laced descriptions there :P ), that he charged them big BIG money to go around dressed as someone's...

    Sam Hill's Nukeproof Pulse.

    that doesn't look legit. Looks like an 'artist's impression'.... more than likely the work of a norco fan.

    Obtainium, do they still make springs?

    but where can Joe Public buy the coil only? Bit sucky that DSP circled the wagons and closed their online store. My last Ti-coil came from them. Keen to get another.

    Exclusive first look: Intense 275 m9

    yep, rear triangle is different: doesn use G3 drop-outs. But as someone mentioned, this is just a proto: steber can chuck these things together overnight as he is prone to do. But i still think there is sufficient clearance on the current M9 triangle, and any additional clearances/geo changes...

    DVO Suspension - potential new player?

    interesting that daisycutter: who makes rockshox though? As an OEM, I'm curious to know how Suntour can claim a presence in the mid to high end of the market if DVO owns the IP. Are they saying they do not manufacture high end stuff? Are they stating that their Rux fork is DOA?
