yes sir. I was told by the track builder that there are several new jumps now located in the section where all the sustained pedaling was. Now, the go is sprint, jump, pump, sprint, jump, pump, etc.
I certainly saw no need for a dropper and I am less fit than 99% of those dudes, I'd guarantee...
Raced the Masters Worlds there last week on what was 90% of the Elite track for this weekend.
-will be VERY surprised if riders are utilizing dropper posts on that track
-was surprised at how many times per run my suspension bottomed (front & rear) on my DH bike.
-will be more interested in...
Marshal,
Matt Thompson here. Still have those ENVE dh wheels for sale? Any interest in trading for a set of Easton Carbon Havens 20mm front/ 142 thru rear?
Yes. I've been riding mine this way for more than a year now. It's super fun and I really like it. Caused the BB height to go up a bit, but I'm not too bothered. I'm running a RockShox Revelation WC w/ dual position air up front. Ask away if you gots any questions.
Yep, I've got lots of time in on both the Vivid air and coil on this newest iteration of the v10 and like them both. For really rough tracks with lots of consecutive square edged hits, I prefer the coil. For a more lively, playful feel, I prefer the Air. Last fall at whistler I ran the Air...
That didn't hurt nearly as bad as the time I shattered my collarbone at the MSA world cup in '03 and had to hack my way home to Colorado for surgery the next day. It was embarrassing though. Ahhhh, love the East Coast. Despite my numerous misadventures out that way.
Take it easy, honey. I'm not dissing any regional racing series and have no knowledge of how your game works out there. I'm talking about the national stage. Sounds like you're psyched on what you have going on and that's a good thing.
FWIW, it's been clear for half a decade at least that...
JMO, but until these series (USAMTBGRTGPBLAHBLAHBLAH) step up and start running themselves professionally, the sport in our nation will flounder. Thank God for Gwin (get it?) and some of the others who are experiencing success on the world stage and helping the sport's image at home, because...
I have a BLTc and love it. Get a Works Components headset to slacken out the head angle/drop the BB and you're looking at one awesome trail rig with dh geometry (if that's your sort of thing). The bike is more than up for some serious bashing. Get one and ride it like a downhill bike. The...
I'm 40 and have been banged up and put back together more times than I can remember (including the odd concussion here and there). Every time I get hurt and can't ride, I just enjoy more time at home by banging my old lady every chance I get. It's amazing how much more time for f*cking I have...
FWIW, if I didn't like them, I simply wouldn't reply to the thread. It's not like I get a commission on sales figures or anything. Would it help my cred with you if I disclosed that I found the Descendants to be too flexy for my robust figure?
*disclosure - I am sponsored by SRAM
I have had the 170mm carbon XO dh crank on my Santa Cruz carbon v10 since July. I am 215# and ride mostly in very rocky/chundery terrain with lots of loose sh*t always flying up hitting the bike. I have found these cranks to be awesome in terms of...
