    2015+ fox 36 harsh

    So basically, by taking by travel spacers out and leaving the transfer shaft in the same setting, I effectively have a 2018 fork!:banana::banana::banana:

    goodbye Fabien...

    Gutted......... Cheers to one of the greatest of our time. You cannot help but to look up to him as a person and racer, I sure as hell couldn't. From the solid, down to earth personality to some of the best race craft in the history of our sport tied together with a friendly attitude and mad...

    Leatt Braces... someone had to say it

    Personally, I agree with the original poster regarding ergonomics. I dont feel comfortable with one on, but my brother swears by it. Its a personal preference thing. As for the safety factor, I'm going to throw a spanner in the works. No one can doubt that falling is a skill developed over...

    2012 World Cup Dates

    As a local, I feel your pain. We have always had better options but the politics of it won over quality riding in the end. But with that said, a little birdie told me that the finish is moving to a better area. The possibilities that the new finish brings are more numerous and much better. Its...

    2012 World Cup Dates

    Weird, one of our commissaires just told us that Pietermaritzburg got the world champs. Someone is going to be very upset when it all becomes official.

    WC Round 2 Fort William

    That only shows races finnished by both riders. Take Gregs Champery time in 2007. That riding with a shoulder that wouldnt stay together because he manned up and swallowed the pain. Discounting that time, according to my head maths, they have approximately the same time. In that period, all the...

    WC Round 2 Fort William

    Anyone else see this? Analysis of rider stats When is put like that, Greg is without a doubt, the best downhiller in history thus far. His podium rate/consistancy is mind blowing when you consider that it is over 10 years. And to think, he can only notch up more podiums and wins from here on out!

    This Carbon thing is getting out of hand

    How is it off topic? It relates to the discussion on the appropriateness of carbon for downhill bikes that has dominated much of this thread. And even if your dig did have a solid, factual grounding, how would that affect the validity of my opinion? Yes, I'm a Minnaar fanboy. But that has...

    This Carbon thing is getting out of hand

    I've ued this example before and I'm going to do it again. Anyone who doubts carbon fiber, jump on a plane and fly out to South Africa. I'll introduce you to a guy who has been riding Greg Minnaar's old Orange 222 that he rode during the 2001 season. The forks are literally wrecked, the wear and...

    Bin Laden is Dead!!!

    Buried at sea, eh?:doh: Me thinks thats a bit of a story. Whats the bet they have him deep underground somewhere, keeping him alive and concious while they give him whats been coming to him? Waterboarding will be a day in the spa compared to what I'm imagining. I dunno, but thats what i would...

    What really counts on a downhill bike?

    Here's how I see it. I usually build a bike to my spec or look for something that fits my spec closest. I have always had to build to a budget so I look to maximise bang for buck. Firstly, the frame. Rider position being the most important, followed by rear suspension. Then as far as...

    2011 UCI World Cups chit chat

    Maybe my wording was a bit strong, along with being a Minnaar fanboy, I may have come across completely bonkers! I didn't mean to dismiss him, I did say he's probably kill it but I was trying to make the point that saying that his worlds result is a basis for saying he'll smoke it this year. I'd...

    2011 UCI World Cups chit chat

    Aha! I was waiting for that, no, I wasn't but I'm merely echoing other RIDERS sentiments. Guys that raced on that track and apparently the moisture on the track made it feel like you had your pads set so the brakes were dragging and it was noticably slower. But hey, they could be wrong. Edit: I...
