    Straitline Amps

    Yeah, the Defactos are some serious pedals! I'm with you on the ease of servicing the Straitline pedals, they are simply the easiest in that regard. I think that the AMPs are rad for DJ and DH duties, they make a lot of sense for that. I'm just a little lost on why you'd think that the...

    Straitline Amps

    That's what she said. The engineer/designer at Straitline has said that the resistance lessens when the bushings are loaded. Can anyone out there corroborate that? I'd like to see some figures of it loaded and unloaded compared to a dual bearing pedal... maybe it doesn't matter, but hell, that...

    Straitline Amps

    But that bushing is hurting your climbing ability. It's sapping energy whether you can feel it or not. Would you be OK if one of your wheels had that much resistance? I wouldn't =) I thought that they were great pedals, but it is odd that a pedal that is marketed for all-mountain use doesn't...

    29er Trail bike for a DH’er

    I loved the Shinobi. It is unbelievably solid feeling. I'll go on record saying that I don't feel that having a massively stiff rear end is all that important (but that's another argument altogether...), but the Shinobi is about as solid feeling as they come. Like most 29'ers, it rides like more...

    29lb Trek Session 9.9

    I've got roughly two weeks on a Fox 40 RC2 Hybrid Air and have nothing but good things to say about it so far, so hopefully the one you felt was either not setup or a dud. It isn't just air preload... if anything, I would say the the Hybrid Air on the front of my 9.9 is slightly more progressive...

    29lb Trek Session 9.9

    The wheels are Bonty's AM model.. not exactly burly by anyone's standards, but just as heavy duty as some of the lighter custom built race wheels that I've seen out there. The brake's are Elixir's w/ 8" rotors - what's not DH ready about those (for most riders)? Nope, they're not Codes, but...

    New Freecaster DH series

    It sounds like a good idea, but there are some things to be concerned about... We may just end up with a diluted race field, with some of the top riders doing one series and the rest doing the other. While I'd imagine that the dates for each event wouldn't clash, I can't really see riders...

    Dr. Science Incredible - Angleset Hackjob?

    Like the head set on the front of the Ellsworth? http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Cane-Creek-AngleSets-Sea-Otter-2011.html I think that is what you are meaning, but not positive.

    The $1600 price for the frame/shock is correct. We'll have a more in-depth piece in the next day or two.

    Richard Cunningham joins PB

    Exactly. It wasn't that long ago that there wasn't any proper staff at PB and everything was user submitted. That is not a recipe for quality content, no offense to those users. What we were up against, and still are to an extent, is wanting to put up a lot of articles in a day/week, but quality...

    Richard Cunningham joins PB

    Expect more of everything. You've no doubt seen that we've been focusing more on the AM side of things in the last year but that will change... even more AM, much more DH content, and even some proper XC stuff. You'll also start to see weekly (if not even more) product tests on parts and...

    Richard Cunningham joins PB

    I guess that because RC was at MBA for so long that it is only natural for people to assume that he was the reason that so many questionable terms and ideas that were pushed in that magazine. That actually isn't the case though and he had been less and less involved with MBA over the last few...

    Honest suspension/shock setup question from a hack

    Hey dbozman, I read or original post but not all of the replies - sorry if this has been said already. Getting an air shock with a proper lock-out or platform to ride like your 66 isn't really feasible. The 66 is very active... I see a Diverse shock being a good mate for it if you are looking...

    This man is a genius

    I like the idea. If one set was run below the stem and one above you'd not have to remove the stem to change the stack height. I know that most people don't play with it that much, but even just to dial in the height before you make that final cut. I brought home the ones in the photo to use on...

    Mongoose Boot'R

    I tested a Boot'r maybe two seasons ago. I didn't think I was going to like it, but I ended up falling in love with it - and that was the older steeper version (I'm pretty sure the new ones are more in line with other frames). The model year that I was on was very poppy and fun, about as far...

    112 is correct.. according to the peeps in the booth. They said that there are some in the field, but they are not actually being produced yet. Pig in the window if you ask me...

    Jesus, I'm going to have to start waiting to upload photos until I get my words in order. Bunch of super sleuths over here... Its late here in Taipei and I'm tired as hell, but a rambling story on this beauty will be live within an hour or so.
