That's pretty close. I was just recently a part of a human physiology study at my university that measured peak power output and how long it can be sustained while on a bike. I haven't gotten to see my results yet, but they showed me the results of a friend who is about 5'10" tall and about 165...
Yeah, I will never run one of those EVER again and none of my friends want anything to do with them either. Here are the pics of what happened to it and me (first accident): http://klopp.pinkbike.com/album/OUCH/
I will definitely look into pivotals too - I always seem to forget about those...
I sure hope you never do! I knocked on wood for you too :thumb:
I have never been injured in my ~6 years of dh and freeriding except for these two instances, aside from the typical scrapes and bruises (...still knocking on wood).
Thats exactly what I wont do. That brings about a whole new set of problems when riding DH, FR, SS, and DJ. All of my rides tend to incorporate most styles of riding all in one place, and clips are a bad idea for that.
And besides, buying new pedals to replace my straitlines wont exactly fix...
I missed my pedals on no footed tricks - trust me, shoes and pedals are not part of the problem :thumb:
I am not really a fan of the ibeam seats. A friend had one and either was always slipping or creaking. But I will look into it again - it couldn't hurt....
I need a new seat. Does anyone know of any seats that have a unique rail system (other than ibeam)? Maybe something where the rails curl in at the ends/loop together to protect the rider in case the rails break away from the seat?
If I can't find anything I think is suitable, I will be looking...
i have vowed to never order from them (beyond or airbomb) again. out of my 4 orders with them, 3 have been messed up. its just not worth the hassle. the worst was when i ordered 3 things that they listed as IN STOCK: an fsa whip cap, a rockshox speed lube kit, and a quart of fork lube oil. it...
that kind of stuff makes me mad too. there is no way there is $80k in damages from a bike trail. if left alone for a few months it would look like it was untouched. i hate how the government will even consider spending so much money on something that can be healed in a short amount of time. and...

here a good thread that has a TON of info on the general building of a frame (hope you have time on your hands because it is very helpful): http://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomments/?threadid=39840
but the best place to start with finalizing your design is using linkage. it is dirt cheap for a...
Yeah. I was conscious the whole time. It sucked. But I did just get my staples out two days ago so things are looking up (they had to stay in for 5 weeks). Now I just have to deal with the swelling in my leg and blood thinners.
I agree with this post. But mostly keeping a super strong interface between the rails and the rest of the seat (no replaceable rails on dh seats). This is important in preventing major injuries like mine (see album for pics-the broken seat could have killed me, no joke)...
