Hill has run CB pedals since they came out in '06 and Rennie has never used them because he was sponsored by Funn and, most recently, Burgtec.
oster_oops:with real pins they are fine. not the best option, but certainly good enough.

he used to be on Cully's.... I wonder why they stopped making them.
I see Palmer is running the new Boxxer.
gotcha
Maybe because they'd still have to pay Dave Cullinan if they continued to sell his 'signature' pedal? No idea if this is in fact the case, but it seems plausible.
yeah, sounds plausible. Why doesn't easton make bars in the widths that people actually want? Easton seems fairly out of touch in a few areas.
MTB market is chump change for Easton. It'd just something to do will all the aluminum left over from making millions of units of sporting equipment.
one of the guys who work for easton on here said that's in the works. although i wouldn't hold my breath on it. carbon parts = new moulds = high costs.
No one I know wants wide 30"-31" carbon bars..... EA70s yes but not EC70s
They dont need to be scratched by a twig to snap. They snap even when brand new with no scratches.
I use to be a carbon bar guy, till mine broke after less than a month of riding. Ive been thinking about trying them on my new DH rig, but I will never run them on a FR rig again. Ive been riding the EA70 bar on all my bikes ever since.
I thought this was a thread about Palmer, but I guess it is really about handlebars?

This is a true champ!

Those are his driving shoes, he had 5-10's in his truck, truck broke down on the way to race, he and nicki borrowed a friends car but left shoes in truck. He couldn't keep feet on pedals...Palm tried my shoes but they were too big (tiny foot mother f-er he is) so he did not even try to qualify. Good times.
Was better in BW in my opinion.

Ever since the news broke I've been thinking of this... Have you guys seen "First Descent" An iMax movie featuring oldschool snowboarders and new champs (Terje and Shawn White to name a few).
How about that: getting Palm, Peaty and.. Nico? together battling with today's heroes: Sam, Gee, you name them. on big screen, full feature with international release. It would have a tremendous impact on how our sport is perceived!
Now can someone pull that off?
Okay, easier said than done. How about a "day in the dirt" type event with the same suspects then?

i love how Peaty gets lumped in with Nico and Palmer, 2 guys who have been retired from racing for 6 and 10 years, while he is still finishing on the podium at every WC he enters. you can't make a list of today's heroes and not have Peaty on it.[un];3085073 said:
You probably don't really want to see the numbers between 'people who snowboard and would see this movie' and 'people who mountain bike and would see this movie'.[un];3085073 said:
So what are the numbers then?

Saw him after the podium at the SLO Jeep race talking to Lopes. Naturally the photographers saw a photo-op. It should be pretty funny whenever it makes print. Both shirts off, Lopes' six-pack vs. Palmer's pony keg (he was sticking the gut out for maximum effect).
