    Yes because single shear seat stay bearings are pro yo!. Clearly you must weigh no more than a feather. I'm talking about modern SC frames, not a 2006 v10. It's not an opinion that unlocked single shear bearings are rubbish, it's a fact. This is why I stay away from RM, rubbish bike...

    DW DHR's the child of DT, only the kinematics are DW's doing. Sundays bearing system is flat out ****, I've looked at a used one, not going beat round any more than say it was very sub-optimal. No more rubbish than nearly every other press fit ball bearing equiped bike out there, but certainly...

    Oh man, I thought I'd drop in on this thread and see how things were going with this frame and already there's problems with contact and bearings not lasting 2 seconds (to be fair this is the case with every bike DW seems to have got his mitts on, man can do kinematics, but be ****ed if he can...

    Gloveless You Say? kidwoo's Guide To Bltchin' Grips

    Somebody's never had a cup full of gravel scrubbed out of the palm of their hand. Seriously, no gloves, must be inbred.

    How an Enve rim changed my life.

    I actually read through all that and wasn't even bored. Although...pics or gtfo.

    Gravity light 7050?

    Why do people use cranks other than Shimano? Seriously.

    Anyone try the new Mallet DHs' yet.

    This is like a debate between Saints and some other ****ty brand, it doesn't even need to be considered.

    6 bike racks

    Why don't you guys use drop side trays on a regular ute so you can actually fit something? Those style sides are bloody stupid.

    Minion DHF Perishing After 3-4 Months, anyone else had it happen?

    Indeed, I've run slow reezay's exclusively in summer (swamp things in winter) for many years and the rubber lasts an impressively long time, a year without degrading at least, but the wear certainly takes it's toll.

    Anyone try the new Mallet DHs' yet.

    Snapping the axle on a peddle no matter what you do is unacceptable. Your legs should be broken splinters before an axle snaps. At the most it should bend, not break.

    2014 Fox 40 Float FIT Tuning Thread

    What an informative thread. Maybe I should start one when I get a new derailleur housing.

    How TO ride a bike

    What's wrong with enduro? I feel like there's some hate train I should be hitching a ride on.

    M9 upper link bearings

    Do yourself a favour and don't use MAX bearings to replace them. They're good in theory, but every one I've ever installed goes to **** quicker than the regular caged variety. This is on a Spesh with their super undersized FSR bearings. I can only surmise that dirt becomes a problem much...

    You Go Girl!

    VPP also does the same thing (manage the chain tension over the course of the travel..poorly), but yet it doesn't infringe on the pivot locations (and rotational directions). DW's patent, which I read through a couple of years ago makes specific reference to the locations of suspension...

    You Go Girl!

    Giants actions here are pretty despicable, but the idea of patenting an already existing suspension system (4 bar) because you moved the pivots about a bit to make some chain tension is ludicrous. Mind you, I'd be rather insulted if Maestro was infringing on my patents, it's god awful to ride.

    DVO Suspension - potential new player?

    SAE weight is a very poor indicator of viscosity (the real question) and one oil of SAE 10 might be 8 centistokes (a unit of viscosity), but another may be 10.

    How does one go about starting a bike company?

    The first post is probably the best one, buy catalogue frame, attach shiny root beer colourway, profit.

    Post your 2013 ride.

    The CR gets a spring backed IFP. The RC3 whatever it is (which I have had since 2010) doesn't have that and when they say the new one has shimmed rebound, what they really mean is it has a shimmed check valve.
