    V10c or Demo 8 II (alum)

    Hey guys! My last 4 DH bikes were Demo 8's. I really feel good with them. But I may want to try a V10c because: 1. It comes with a Fox 40 2. Am looking for a more comfortable ride How would rank and compare Demo's against V10's. I know both bikes are top notch ones, but how would you...

    Muscle Recovery and Endurance Suplement

    Oh yes... I agree with you... My point is that I don't want to feel tired as easy. Today I get tired after a few 3 to 4 minutes runs... And with some suplements I expected lasting longer before taking frequent breaks.

    Bent Ti Spring on One End

    While installing my Obtanium Ti spring onto my new frame/shock, I just realized one end of the spring is bent. Is it a real problem if the spring is not seating around (touching) 100% in the bushings?

    XO carbon

    I just got my new 2012 Demo 8 II today and it comes with X.0 carbon cranks... It kind of concerns me because I'm a big guy, >220 lb. My relief is that I don't believe Specialized would offer their bike frames with lifetime warranty and with components not as reliable...

    Leat Brace compatibility

    Exactly D3 is higher in the lower back end... And because D3 is wider than D2, it will work better with Leatt braces. When I had the D2, I had the impression it was narrower than the Leatt brace width.

    Best spokes for DH

    Hi monkeys! I'm building a new wheelset and already have Hope Pro 2 hubs and Mavic 823's rims. What is the best option (low weight, but still strong) from DT Swiss? I can't come to a conclusion because there are so many models out there...
