I didn't think of this benefit since it would make sense that all (or at least most) of the energy would have to be absorbed and transmitted by the tire before the suspension acts.
But I'm going to have to be a biggot and stand in disbelief over your approval of single ply tires. Has the...
Talk about kicking the dead horse but with ultra-aggressive marketing of 27.5 wheels these days and some publicity/input from WC pros I had to ask about this...
The biggest advantage I seem to hear of is that they are just more stable at speed. I'm going stay away from the whole "better...
Has rock shox finally replaced their crappy seals with the pike or do the fancy stanchions alone make it a decently plush fork? With the positive reviews of the pike, I hope the boxxer gets the same treatment soon and actually becomes a decent fork.
I'd have to go against you on that one. His feet positioning and slammed back seat give away the fact that he's having a hard time adjusting the higher yaw angle measurements of the demo compared to the session
A month or so ago I switched from very worn out DHF's to new DHR II's. By very worn out I mean just about bald in the rear with side knobs falling off and rounded knobs with rubber already hardened on the front. To my surprise I barely noticed any increase in drag with the DHR II's. If anything...
Zombie thread, but I just wanted to confirm if this was okay? I mess around with stuff when it involves coils and oils but air is still kind magic to me.
I don't understand the rave over Mavics. The 729's are soft and dent quite easily. I'm on my 3rd one and it's cracked already with mutual experiences among friends. 823's are probably quite good but expensive. MTX's are very cheap, strong and do the job just fine. I've had good experience with...
I usually tend to ride elbows down often like you do and I consider my riding to be pretty decent as well... BUT, this has mostly been after a confidence shattering knee injury. I notice in old pictures on bikes I were very confident on and times when I was riding exceptionally well, my elbows...
I have pretty good tires (DHR II's) but the traction from the boxxer on the front does seem to be kind of inferior compared to the back (what I believe to be the problem).
As for posture it's not exactly my first time to ride a bike. I'm asking here because past bikes, Uzzi, M9, Scythe, even...
I've been trying to pin point for awhile what it is precisely that I don't quite get on my Trek Session (2010).
The bike doesn't seem to "want" to turn is as much as previous bikes. You lean it over but it doesn't quite hook into things as much as my previous bikes. I've been trying to get at...
You are wrong.
For the price you would pay to get a DH bike 3 or 10 years ago, you could get something uncompromisingly better, now. Just because you can't afford the best of the best of the best anymore doesn't make bikes expensive. It's just there are more expensive option. Buy a KHS, or...
Won't let this thread die as I'm seriously considering the bike!
I get to test ride one next week. Do you guys think a CCDB would work well with it. Seems to be a Sunday with more progression at the end, which is exactly what the Pheonix claims to be. Be very interested in the comparison...
I found this.
14.6" BB height is kind of a deal breaker. I hope it's a mistake...
Then there's the 15.4 chainstay length, that can't be right..
Don't know why the pic isn't showing up. Click the box with the "x" and it does.
