LOL. I don't think anyone would question bullets legitimacy as a DH track. Granted, it's not steep, and mammoth seems to be doing everything they can to nerf the main ruck garden, but it's still reasonably challenging.ftfy
my comment was more in regards to OP discounting the entire race series because of an anomaly that occurred at a single event. and is also why i requested to see the full results list.LOL.

Anyone know what tires he was running? Please tell me they were dual ply at least.
the same series that also races in fontana where someone won on a 29" enduro?ftfy
again, venue. You couldn't win port angeles, mt creek, or plattekill on an enduro bike.the same series that also races in fontana where someone won on a 29" enduro?
^^^^ this ^^^^Now let's build some better courses and never let this happen again
Come on, they haven't built a new DH track in a decade, they have been busy closing trails this year though. We all know they will never build a new proper DH race track.But it looks like national champs is going to be at mammoth next year. I know pretty much everyone wants a new track. It's time.
Especially after this just happened.
√(-1)What kind of anti squat numbers will it take to win National Champs next year?
110%, with a 75% tacticality. That's all it takes when you have a thick cockney accent and bad teefs.What kind of anti squat numbers will it take to win National Champs next year?
To be fair, the Lefty has its own problems like losing travel over time and having to be "re-set" and the less than inspiring dampers. But I agree, it would be a good idea to try the system at least out for a dual leg fork. I thought Cannondale did that with those custom forks for Volvo Cannondale before they switched to Dorados. Guess they were too heavy.Lefties are pretty cool. It's the only kind of invert that should exist in MTB, flat faced stanchions and roller bearings. Imagine if there were two of them!
yesthere are after market hubs available?
still has to clear the head tub of the frameAdvantage also you can also fit any wheel size you want, cool, no idea if a fat bike tire would fit too.
because lefty stanchions are square, not round.*roller Bearings instead of stanchions sliding on bushings, why not the big 3 fork company do that?
As well w/o archy. Like I said before.Newbs.
The lefty righty archy exists!
i remember when lopes raced DH on thatNewbs.

I worked at a Cannondale dealer in College and we were a certified Headshock and Lefty service shop, the only one within 3+ hours. We had all the proprietary tools to service their forks, which at the time, were very straight forward and pretty easy to service (with said tools.) We used to have people call from hours away to schedule a service on their fork. So much so, that the owner of the shop created a package where you would schedule the fork service 2 weeks out, and we would do a same day rebuild. They would get to the shop an hour before we opened, we would get them a loaner/demo bike, map of the local trails with a suggested 2.5-3 hour loop, goodie bag with clif bars and gels, and I would rebuild the fork while they were riding. A year after I started working there we stopped carrying C-dale (right around the motorcross years), but we still had all the proprietary tools so I'd still service 1 or 2 C-dale forks or shocks a month. I remember them being pretty straightforward, and when those needle bearings were fresh after a rebuild with new grease they were smoooooooooth. No idea how complicated they are on today's lefty's....The lefty's biggest problem is that it's made by cannondale, so everything is proprietary
quite possibly the worst bike ive ever riddenAs well w/o archy. Like I said before.
