    Once again.......

    26 wheels proves that the bike industry just wanted to separate us from our wallet. We have been WMD'd disclaimer: This is not an indictment of which wheel size is better, and frankly I don't care about which is better.

    Continental Der Kaiser Rammstein Projekt?

    I felt the exact opposite about Rubber Queens a few yrs ago, I wished they made a DH version. So when these came out or better said, became affordable, I knew these would be my next tire.

    Continental Der Kaiser Rammstein Projekt?

    Well, how did they perform? They will be here Friday, so there is no going back now. Don't really care how fast they wear or how long they last. More concerned with performance through the lifespan. Rode Clutch last year and was not crazy impressed on the dry dusty days. I hate supporting...

    Continental Der Kaiser Rammstein Projekt?

    Anyone running this tire tubeless? From past experience with Continental tires, non specific tubeless tires weeped from the sidewalls when set-up tubeless. I'm hoping that is not the case with these, but if so; oh well.

    Dilema

    I'm on the east coast and we're 2 months out also, but that 2 months is going to come fast. I wanted to have the 2014 Tues purchased by now and expecting my bro to ship so I could have by the first week of April.

    Dilema

I have the money and now have been waiting several weeks for his reply on the final cost and shipping back to the states. I am becoming inpatient, as well as, I'm losing the best time to sell my current bike a...

    Hafjell (NOR) 2013 World Cup #5

    From Matti's Redbull interveiw, he's lucky to be alive. The facial reconstruction is obvious, reminds me of Kanya West. Glad he made it out to hang with his friends, possibly ride the track in practice, but I don't think he will ever race DH again from the vibe of that interveiw.

    Knee Braces - anyone using them for downhill?

    That is what makes the CTI so great, the brace is absent the medial cage portion on the thigh. I had the same issue with traditional sport knee braces until I called CTI and they found a prostetics fabricator in my area that accepted my insurance. Got my Dr to write a new script and I couldn't...

    Knee Braces - anyone using them for downhill?

    No. I don't have any experience with them, but they are the same CTI design. They don't look as well built as the EVO Axis or A*'s Bionic and dam near $500 bucks per. Your money, but either way your knees will thank you.

    Prototype Specialized DH Bike

    Yeah, the machine work around the BB looks more like a Sunday, but I stand by the Operator similarities. Looks light and I like it.

    Prototype Specialized DH Bike

    Haha, everybody's a comedian. At least you didn't say, "looks like a Session".

    Prototype Specialized DH Bike

    That looks nothing like a Aurum??? It looks like a cross between a Legend and the new Operator.

    Knee Braces - anyone using them for downhill?

    eatmybabies what type of 661 pads are you using? I have been wanting to do this with my CTI's, but don't want to shell out the money to ruin a pad that might not fit correctly. does it here with migration of the brace also? As said I use CTI braces. I have bilateral reconstructs. They function...

    Mont Sainte Anne (CAN) 2013 World Cup #4

    Didn't start to dizzle until Brendon was almost done his run. The next rider down got pissed upon up top and did start really affecting the middle of the course around Neko and Brook's run from Warner's comments. conditions were still good for Ratboy, he was having a good run until he lost a row...

    Mont Sainte Anne (CAN) 2013 World Cup #4

    After the rain started I shutdown the laptop pissed that Gee was going to get a easy one this time. Started watching the replay at Gwin and I noticed that Gwin and Troy were having to force their Demo's to get active, much more than any other rider/bike. I'm really starting to think there is...

    Frame advice, Devinci Wilson, Demo 8 or other?

    Take reviews or opinions with a grain of salt. Reviewer said it all at the end, "It's all about fit." Notice that he stuggle to find a complaint for the V10 or the Session and it boiled down to frame size. Then he said that the Demo didn't do anything special, but it just fit. Your can ride the...
