I got to drive a Rinspeed-tuned Turbo Cayenne. It was super-fast, but it felt like the freakin' space shuttle was taking off every time I hit the gas pedal. I mean, you could FEEL how heavy it was. The ride sucked on 23's too...
There was just a little more specific information provided about how they improved the Brain shock (hydraulically manipulating the Inertia Valve). Was hoping someone knew a little more about what's going on up front.
I understand. All I was saying is that I'm guessing a variety of lengths/rises will be available and the expense to inventory those stems shouldn't be THAT much more than keeping other high-end stems in-stock (as long as the big S doesn't decide to charge top dollar for their proprietary...
They're making forks and shocks, so selling individual parts is a given (it's not like last time around when they just used RockShox internals). Besides, what's so complicated about shops stocking stems in a few different lengths and rises? I just don't see what the big deal is.
Does anyone...
Of all the things to pick apart, I really don't see what's so bad about an integrated stem. They just eliminated the hardware that the older bolt-on stems used to make it stronger and lighter. I imagine that most shops would allow you to exchange the stem on a new bike for a different length and...
I'm pretty sure that increasing the diameter of the through axle by 25% would actually increase the stiffness by MORE than 25% if they were similar in every other respect.
I'm pretty sure that Fox isn't using any type of magnetic shock fluid in their off-road shocks. I talked to them about it after I saw what Bose was working on. They had already looked into it, but the fluid is too viscus and would overheat in an off-road application. It's pretty cool technology...
Have any of you used any of the more industry-specific job sites like Malakye? We posted a listing there recently, but haven't gotten much interest from qualified applicants. I think that's probably just because we're not located in southern Ca though.
