Ugly? Yes. Old school in style? Yes.
But this is honestly a fantastic bike from all other angles. It pedals aswell, if not better than, anything else out there. It corners effortlessly and takes bumps easily. Until you've ridden one, I'd really not dissmiss it.
I'm not sure if the bike is for...
It was all about promotion, was it not? :confused: Brands didn't like the skinsuit idea - it didn't give them the "right" type of image and the look was "damaging" our sport and sponsors wern't receiving the "right" dividends when riders were wearing lycra. Perhaps itt was also meant to help...
I like this approach...
When the petition gathers enough names, as I'm determind it will, it could be quite a useful tool for a representative of Downhill and 4X within a country to approach their governing body with. Rather than perhaps going straight to the UCI with a few signitures we...
I understand this mate, yer. It just seems daft of them to do a complete U-Turn. As Mr Graves points out; What is the need to show you're national champion. I can't think of another sport that requires a nation's best to wear kit that identifies themself as Champ(I am sure there will be...
Additionally to what has been said above, Road Teams *tend* to get their funding from just one or two big sponsors. DH isn't as priviledged, and riders' income comes from a much greater amount of smaller sponsors. The room allocated in the UCI regs really isn't sufficient to promote all of these...
I'm quite aware. If you read the page it says something like "By joining the page you are joining the petition".
But yer, even better to sign the official thing.
Essentially, National Champions in all disciplines will have to wear a UCI-regulated jersey for all official race and timed runs throughout the season: The runs that attract the greatest/only media coverage.
It's all here to see...
Gradient has nothing (very lttle to do with it)
As has already been pointed out, Fort Bill and MSA aren't particularly steep. But the Fort was voted best DH event for years on the trott, and everyone always seems to enjoy MSA.
As long as it's not a pedalfest such as Camberra (and all reports...
In response to the comments about me judging all US tracks from riding at Mammoth. This is not the case atall. I didn't make it very clear, but I was just using it as an example.
I've watched plenty of videos of National Champs, US Races etc and I fully understand that footage never does the...
But this is always the case with you guys in the States. I'm not meaning that personally atall, so please don't take offence. What I mean to say is that it's all about the money for your industries it would seem. Yes, you are "the" capitalist country, but we here in Europe are pretty damn...
Not my settings, but my brother's...
He weighs 86KG, with kit (That's 190lbs)
Using the TFTunes spring calculator, he should be running a 450lbs spring, which we are.
This might be very handy for you guys - http://www.tftunedshox.com/info/spring_calculator.aspx
On a standard track we...
Well, today's the day!
I've just been on to the UCI Mountain Bike site, and it has changed from yesterday. The Nissan logo has gone, and the calender is up on the Mountain Bike frontpage - which all would suggest that this is them getting ready for 2010. Further, Windham is definitley on the...
