    Welding 7075

    What is your frame weight? Bikes I've had lately: 2017 Trek Remedy Carbon 4.4!!! lbs no shock (rock broke the downtube) 2018 Transition Sentinel 8.6 lbs no shock (indestructible) 2019 Scott Ransom Carbon 5.5 lbs no shock (haven't built it yet) I'd love to have a 6 lb aluminum frame that...

    Welding 7075

    i've ridden plenty of janky 4130 frames un-heat treated... only a few cracked. :) I'm not as sure. Only because things like dropouts and linkage attachment parts still have a kind of minimum size and carbon is so much lighter in those applications. Also can only go so thin on a tube before...

    Welding 7075

    Yeah- seems like we could see some high-end aluminum frames weighing and costing somewhere in between current aluminum and carbon.

    Trust me...

    I've bounced around one one in a parking lot. It has a ton of damping and does not like slap down (front wheel high) kind of impact. yes

    What trail bike tire casings don't suck?

    was curious about that also: https://www.rootsandrain.com/rider13833/sebastian-stott/results/ Looks to be decently (mid pack pro) fast. All things considered I think he did a really good/thorough test on tires given the equipment available and how many variables there are to manage.

    He found 30s on Jared Graves also?

    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    I hope BR is wrong... My hope for the future is that $2500 buys a solid full suspension rig that can take a few years of abuse with only minimal suspension service, a few tires and chains. Future Wish list: -1400g tire withOUT sticky rubber on it (never flats, still rolls fast). -Lower...

    GX Eagle cassette wear

    probably should try to use a sram chain before replacing the expensive cassette. Usually takes me a ride or two to get a new chain 'worn' to an older cassette and working smoothly. the cassettes don't wear fast- only the 50t is aluminum, the rest are steel.

    BOOOOOO E-BIKES

    Colorado Springs. All city parks are e-bike illegal.

    BOOOOOO E-BIKES

    Yeah- wasn't my bike, so I was stuck with the spec. DH tires really killed the ride I think. It's interesting access wise around here- all city and forest service trails have declared e-bikes illegal. There is one trail that allows motorized access from town to higher up where there are more...

    BOOOOOO E-BIKES

    Yeah but I can do that ride on a normal bike- just takes 30 min/1 hour longer. I thought the e-bike would be a lot faster and more powerful since the only other ebike experience I had was riding one for 5 minutes on full power. I also poached a number of non- ebike legal trails and feel guilty...

    BOOOOOO E-BIKES

    Did my first real ebike ride... am not super impressed- was battery/range concerned the entire ride so I left it in eco mode and pedaled pretty hard the entire time. Managed to finish with 1 mile left indicated range. E bike does dominate snow packed trails though. So that was good. Bike...

    Float x2 too linear?

    if the neg chamber was too high in pressure- you'd never be getting 30% sag on a bike that progressive. Make sure you are measuring sag% correctly. Some fox shocks don't bottom out at the end of the damper body.

    DebonAir Upgrade Kit for 2015 Pike?

    All true. I went about 20 psi higher and pulled all 3 tokens going to the new DB spring on Lyrik. Can run a lot of pressure without being too bad on small bump with the huge neg spring. Rides higher and bottom force is about the same.

    have you seen him ride?

    The E-word thread. EWS

    I think he ran dual Assegai's for both wins... might be better casing or tread blocks in the right spot to keep from cutting the tread area.

    Yeah- its a super cool concept. I think it's really innovative but lots of problems going forward from concept phase.

    Yeah- I can't imagine it's more efficient than a chain (nothing really is). Also you can't stamp all the cogs due to the 3-D shape- so making it cheap is not going to be easy.
