The moral here is the same one I learned when I got my buddy hurt on my trail. Make sure they only do what they feel comfortable with. A buddy who isn't at your level riding with you will feel pressured to try to perform at your level. Try to get them to remain aware of thier own...
If you want the pimpist bike on the block you can get a 66 with a travel reduction kit from Nemesis Project. If money is an issue then a DJ1,2,3, a pike, a fox vanilla, or Manipoo Gold Label, are all appropriate. Both marz and Fox have great CS.
I run DeeMax rims with Maxxis Minion UST and some stans inside. I love it. No Flats, No burps, No rim dents. Same tires with the same air in them for 6 months. This includes a week of punishment at whistler, running 20psi in front and 25 in the rear.
I believe UST is patented by Mavic, so...
If you want a light DH bike you need to look at bikes like the Orange 224 or the Cannondale Gracia. If you want to build a light V10, then saving weight on the brakes is not the answer. Hope m4s are the most you need but they may be the least you need. the weight difference is negligible and...
I don't understand, if you are running a cassette in the back then you should have a derailleur in the rear so whats all this chain tentioner talk? The derailleur is your tenstioner. Sounds like what you really need is a chain guide.
Demo 8 is way better suited for race than the 9. Have you looked at the Orange 224? Its the lightest frame out there for DH race and it has the dimensions you are after slightly over 8 inches of travel. I have no experience on them but if you are worried that in may not be stiff enough then...
DCs are overrated. People think they want a DC fork for the sake of having a DC fork becasue they associate the SCs with trail and XC. FR/DH SCs need a beefier crown to be stiff as DCs but my 66RC was the best buy I've ever made. It rips at whistler, it rips at DH, its stiff enough that I...
yeah, they really are silly...
...a scam...
...and...
...they also really sue the pants off of anyone who points out the truth about their cult. Trey Parker, the subpoena's in the mail.
I was originally gonna get a Mob. One of the guys who had an 05 said that they were having problems with the disc brake mounts breaking off and the frame had tire clearance issues. Even still its one of the best frames out there and supposedly they have fixed the problems with the 05 in the...
I used to diss on the quality of specialized because they were mass produced. Not anymore. I'd probably go with the MOB still, but the new frames from specialized are something else.
I'm getting a sinister DNA. despite being such a huge company specialized's new P. frame is some hawt shiat. 4.75lbs with same chanstay lenght as the BM Mob (5.5lbs). If you wanna look cool or just support the little guy then the Mob is the right bike, but if you just want the better frame...
In most of your action pics you seem to be trying to capture the rider and the terrain. If you cannot adjust your shutter speed then you should either train the camera on th rider or the background. When you try to get both with slow shutter speed you get both blurry. Bare in mind that I am...
