    Dark Owl DXX (Fatigue testing vid page 6)

    I dunno about stiff lasting longer... seems if I lace carbon rims too stiff they bust the edge a lot easier. That's on regular 147 hubs.

    I was at Snow Summit in CA for opening day this Friday but I don't think that's the "SS" you're referring to

    2015 New dh rides thread - no enduros because kickstand hates them

    Park bike with prototype park features promoting playfulness and practicality at the bike park, 26" park wheels, 2016 park geo and 9spd park cassette that has 2 additional low gears for traversing to other park features such as the bar. Too much fun!

    Complete Guide to Downhill Rubber

    Is that EXO or DD? think I might throw one on the front but all this talk about flimsy sidewalls has me wondering which casing to go with. How do you like it?

    I know, I know... the only good intelligence is from Ridemankey and torture. Next time I'll take my nipple clamps and light battery for a little Q & A.

    Anyone running $178 chinese carbon rims for DH yet? light-bicycle.com

    Yeah I hear ya but If you check further down the article you'll see he is running aluminum dh rims. I'm sure he doesn't mind a few flat spots if he can maybe win a race, being sponsored and all. Might be running super gravity schwalbe too.... You're right though that my psi is higher than most...

    Anyone running $178 chinese carbon rims for DH yet? light-bicycle.com

    Damn, I can't get my PSI that low without it getting squirmy and feeling strikes on the rim. Best I have got away with is 26f 30r on vigilantes. I'm not that fast or heavy...maybe my gauge is broke.

    Anyone running $178 chinese carbon rims for DH yet? light-bicycle.com

    First tire was a WTB vigilante team issue. Pretty stout tire but I made the mistake of setting the tire with dishwashing liquid the night before and I think it pushed off the bead in a corner because the soap was still wet. There were a load of rocks after that for my naked rim to roll through...

    I just broke my third rear rim in 6 months...the old enduro 35mm rim. Going to give the DH layup a shot.

    Help with Knee Pads

    I have had the Kyle Straits, POC VPD2,the 2 beefier versions of the 7idp (the boa one and the next one down) and the IXS daggers. I like the IXS daggers the best. The POC pads are slightly more comfortable but still slipped which is why I moved on. The IXS felt a little stiff at first. I don't...

    "Fan" is a little strong. I would buy him a beer and shot of tequila though. Might cheer him up a little.

    Musical chair game 2016 or Teh offseason prophecy

    Beerten leashes the bulldog and cleans house at GT. Lord bummer breaks the Vulcan code and shows emotion by flipping off the haters as he leaves the building.... I wonder where the Athertons would go? They are a great asset to MTB and have helped push the sport on a lot of levels.
