Yer he was Intense for a couple of years, pretty sure he won both his Norba overalls on the M1. I remember being so jelly of his Silver and Orange Maxxis stickered M1 with the 5th elephant in it when I was a spotty DH grom way back when
Now I've seen these I have an alternative to Hadleys for my next wheelset. I've got a Hadley in the back at the moment, one thing I like is how easy it is to service, even a muppet like me can do it with common tools, does anyone know what profiles are like in this regard? I know Kings are a...
Guy I know who is either 6'7" or 6'9" has a large Kona Operator and is chuffed with it. They are kinda like the old Glory DH's, there is a huge jump between the medium and the large. I'm only 5'7" and would ride a medium, but the large is so much bigger. Before that he was on a Transition...
I just had one of these break on my 823's. Same deal as you, half the old insert thing was stuck in there. I very carefully cut two slots into the side of it with a dremel then got a flat blade screwdriver and wound the sucker out. Threads were fine, didn't need any re-tapping or chasing or...
I followed the guide on Sicklines - http://www.sicklines.com/tech/howto/hadleyoverhaul/ - when I did mine. I am pretty rubbish at mechanical stuff but found it simple enough. FYI, contrary to what that article says, Park do make a 21mm cone spanner, I got mine from the local Park importer.
We have one on a commuter bike at our shop (but it's an 8 speed one, not the 11 speed that the Zerode apparently comes with), the shift lever feels kinda average, like a Deore or something I guess, but the shifts themselves are quick and smooth. Dunno if the 11sp one feels different, yet to...
There is a good interview with him in the newest Revolution magazine. The gist of it was he wanted to get his head back in the right place and then work towards a possible return, but he sounded really positive in the interview which was cool.
Small Glory's are pretty small. My friend is maybe 5'2"-5'3" and she seems to manage fine on hers (2009 DH1). I haven't ridden a new one yet, but they do an XS for 2010 and it's tiny, 20.6 inch top tube and a 29 inch standover
It's funny how Glenn and Des are considered 'old school' considering they aren't all that old haha. But it sure seems they've been on the scene forever
Youse all got beaten by some kid from some southern hemisphere backwater, that's all you need to know :p
Results aren't up on the UCI site yet, but if you go to the live timing you can see them there.

At least it's only 4X and not the DH. Hopefully they sort it by sunday though. Freecaster has been pretty flawless all year for me up until now.
