    New little bike

    I believe the latest version of the RP23 w/Adaptive Logic is available aftermarket in the 7.25x1.75 size. I haven't actually called to confirm this, but it is listed as an aftermarket part#. I'd still probably go with Push though. I had them work on the RP2 on my Reign and it made a world of...

    First impressions - Push Industries Nomad Link

    Whoa, slow your roll buddy. I know what Push is capable of as I pointed out in my post. Was just thinking of possibilities, thats all. Evidently Darren was too, hence the custom shock lengths he experimented with.

    First impressions - Push Industries Nomad Link

    I know Push designed everything very specifically, but it looks like you could sub in a longer i2i shock in place of the "eyelet adapter link". I'm sure I'm talking out of my @ss, but it would be neat to have better initial leverage along with a touch more travel for the ultimate "mini-D"! Or...

    If you ride clipless, check these shoes out. No seriously.

    Nice review. Informative compared to so much of the marketing drivel that comprises the majority of "professional" reviews. Anyone read a Decline review lately? That sht is so advertising based that you can't learn anything about any product in that magazine for fear that they may expose a...

    ..seatpost clamp

    35.0/34.9 is the same ish in the land of seat collars. Is the clamp bottoming out on itself?

    I love the new trends in trailbikes!

    1x FTW! Front ders are for suckas! And I resent the Weir-wannabee comment.:disgust1:

    What really counts on a downhill bike?

    I'd say geometry is most important to me, followed by at least reasonable suspension setup and finally some attention to detail on bar position, brake lever angle & reach etc. I don't think badass tires are entirely necessary. I've had a lot of fun on old worn out tires (workin on those drifts...

    what does "Ø of spoke hole" mean?

    I'm wrong? Can you explain why? Is this based on firsthand experience? Just because the Internet says doesn't make it so (remember, there's a wealth of wrong information;)). Oh and, how many wheels have you built?

    what does "Ø of spoke hole" mean?

    Not this again... You do not need to shorten your spoke length when using 16mm nipples. Simple as that.

    It's time the rest of the bike industry gets behind this

    Since Lenz bikes pedal like s**t, this must be their new market?? Make sense, there's no pedals... and no competition.

    Ridemonkey.com e13 LG1 Review

    That was a "review"? I didn't learn anything except that the chain fell off a couple times. Kind of a glaring issue. Maybe the reviewer should have taken advantage of e-13's excellent customer service, setup the guide properly, and then resumed the review process.

    Different courses for different cats?

    I don't know if Pro only courses are the way to grow the sport. Yes, it's impressive to watch a talented rider quickly navigate a tough course, but the courses don't need to be so hard that a Sport rider can't safely race them. To me, one of the extremely interesting and addicting aspects of...

    Hadley question

    I've got a Turner DHR with a 135x15 rear axle. Luckily Hadley was kind enough to send me a 135x12 axle for retrofit so I wasn't stuck with the original Hadley or Razor Rock hub. Just call Hadley up, they'll set you straight.

    Specie developing chain-braker - 1x10 drivetrain

    Isn't this pretty much the definition of a shock absorber in any industry, no matter how advanced? I'm not trying to argue, I just fail to see the connection. I agree rear ders are flimsy and vulnerable however... C'mon gearbox innovators!!

    Specie developing chain-braker - 1x10 drivetrain

    Drivetrain innovation is the way forward. Front derailleurs work, but they are one of the most archaic components on a modern bicycle. We have progressed to the point where bicycles are at the cutting edge in suspension, materials, manufacturing etc, and yet we still have a front der that...

    Minion tubeless

    Not to get in an argument here, but I don't see how anyone would ever consider a rim with spoke holes drilled in the rim bed a true UST equivalent. A Flow rim will obviously not hold air without the yellow tape or Gorilla tape or some equivalent. The tape IS the rim strip, ie not UST. Doesn't...

    Rotor help! (unvented, round, 203mm)

    You can get non-vented rotors from Avid to deal with resonance issues. I don't know about an 8" though. Nevermind, I just saw Rowlands link above.
