    Lighter wheelsets

    also being straight pull off the rim gives them better side stiffness. i am use them on the ds28 syncros rim and they feel faster than my old mavics on hadleys

    Syncros DS28 tubeless?

    been running that rim tubeless this year and no problems with kendas, Schwalbe, maxxis minion, wierwolf and Michelin dh. rim strip and stans and pump them up. i can run most of them to about 26-8 psi before they burp on really hard turns

    Tomac Primer 220's are now AVAILABLE

    seems like they are useing the same old design as other frames. i see a single piviot(good that it is foward of the bb) with a motolink. think of a "big hit" with an extra arm or a rm7 not too much research there? and at that weight they are going backwards as far as what people want...

    Tubeless ponderings...

    i've run a 2.5 minion, blue groove and timberwolf all tubeless with stans strip and only burped them all once. i run my tires on the same bermed dh track over and over lowering the pressure untill they burp. then i add 5 psi and try to not go lower than that. minion 31 psi blue groove 29...

    corner better

    cornering secrets revealed: cornering is like painting. the better the prep work the better the paint job. set up your bike to the course(including corners). pick yopur lines(if possible) before you get there. if you watch race cars they accellerate all the way to the corner, then...

    CRASH video clips from Fontana#3

    alot of forks took direct hits on the rocks. good informative viddy for inexperienced dh racers. lean back, keep your lazy a$$ of yer seat, look foward. too many of those guys just focusing on rock to rock to rock and get in trouble without being able to catch up mentaly.

    white is more money....

    funny though i went into the shop last week and ordered a white since i needed one for the new build(which will have alot of WHITE). anyways you will not notice since who washes their bikes that often.

    Low rise

    ok monkey boy. or i should say lack of being a monkey boy. us humans have short arms. follow me here. thus a lower/shorter stem setup will give you the ability to get your body farther back and lower(behind your seat. like i explained most people go over the bars. :poster_oops: also the...

    Low rise

    it will help to keep your weight back and lower. think about being in the bike as opposed to being on it. also almost all crashes are over the bars. this will help. i set up last years bike with a minimal rise/raise stem and it helped alot in extreme instances. not too much other times...

    my new ride! (snow related but still sick)

    yeah it would just be a hugh blur. as soon as i sat on that monster it took off like it had jets and guess what? no brakes. yup next prototype will have brakes. last year i gave it to the neighbor kid and he wound up three states away or something. first time i could keep up with my dog...

    What disc brakes for DH racing?

    1) Consistency 2) Performance 3) Light-weight 4) Price ok but you don't get brakes with all of these. get formula mega. everything but price.
