    Pedal Feedback

    Actually, you got me. Now I am really confused with the term "anti-squat". I thought with this it is meant, that the rear end extends unter pedaling, so that the downward mass transfer by the rider is balanced out. But it seems like anti-squat is just a marketing word, and can stand for many...

    Pedal Feedback

    I have always been skeptical about this anti squat stuff at dh bikes. For me a simple neutral single pivot feels best overall. All other bikes I've ridden until now had some characteristics in certain conditions, that I didn't like. But maybe those bikes just didn't have the perfect setup for me...

    morzine this summer

    Oh, and one thing I was wondering about: Last time I was in Morzine, there was a kind of secret very steep trail near the Pleney DH. You could enter it right before the Pleney DH part, where the jump out of the woods onto the meadow is. The first part of it was ridable, but at the lower part...

    morzine this summer

    Thanks for the replys. Would have loved to ride Champery again, and say hi to you Ben, but we decided not to go there in these nasty conditions as it probably would have been too extreme for my young riding buddy. Bummer too that I haven't been in Morgins this year, loved the tracks when I was...

    morzine this summer

    Does anybody know if the Champery WC track is ridable atm? I'm in Morzine for two more days and am wondering if the track maybe is in construction because of the championships that are held there soon...

    Leat Brace compatibility

    Alright, yesterday I had the opportunity to fondle the Ufo EVO Ultralight Bodyguard vest and the TLD BP 7855 Jacket. The Ufo Vest has a neat back protector that adapts to the back of the body when it reaches body temperature. Felt like viscous rubber. But on impact it gets hard and feels like...

    Leat Brace compatibility

    Unfortunately my buddy's car had a failure, so I was unable to see it. But I will keep an eye on it...

    Leat Brace compatibility

    I'm thinking about all this armor + Leatt Brace thing since over a year, and I'm still not sure which would be the best combination for me. Right now I'm still just riding with my LB, without armor, as my 661 Pressure Suit Pro + LB feels really awkward. To me the back protector is the most...

    Hope 6sp Proto Cassette

    All I can say is, that I'm riding my Hope Hubs on my DH bike since 3 years, and they're still fine. Only thing I did was to regrease the freehub last year, and thats it. Even the original bearings are still running... :thumb:

    Loyal Fox 40 Guy Considering a Boxxer

    The Fox products, I have owned or seen, never had such build quality/tolerance issues like the 35mm Boxxers had. But on the other hand I never liked the standard damping setups on Fox stuff. Idk...

    Loyal Fox 40 Guy Considering a Boxxer

    Fork geometry, appearance, quality of Fox products could be some reasons. And maybe some people already have a Fox fork... ;)

    Loyal Fox 40 Guy Considering a Boxxer

    Guess the 2012 Marzocchi sextuple-eight will be awesome and won't need the cartridge!

    Loyal Fox 40 Guy Considering a Boxxer

    That's what I would do too. It should be the best value for the money. As I was never really happy with the performance of my 2010 Boxxer Team I will maybe buy this one: http://www.crconception.com/index.php?p=1_10_Preparation-Rock-shox

    RC4 or Double Barrel for an Orange 224?

    What the Dirtmag thinks about it: http://dirt.mpora.com/news/dirt-100-2011-orange-evolution.html But if the 224 really is degressive, I would think about another damper for it. In my (progressive) Commencal Supreme DH, the bottom out resistance feels just perfect. I would hate having to run...
