I'm 5'8" and very happy on a medium. I've got a 50mm stem and an angleset at .5 degrees slacker, so that sits the bars back a tiny bit in the cockpit. I feel you should be on a large, and weight is irrelevant to sizing. Compensate for your weight with spring rate, height and reach with frame...
The Ti axles are not only lighter, but even stronger. I've got a set on my pedals, and I didn't weigh them, but they definitely felt like a bit of weight savings.
I found one of the prototypes (I think) for sale, Yeti might be clearing house before the painted ones show up.

I've been on these for a number of months now, and I use them for DH. In my opinion they have plenty of power. More power would be good (like the new Code brakes I've tried), but I'm happy with a little lighter brake package. It is a worth while trade off for me. Like stated above, it is a...
Sorry, no riding unless you are a registered racer. The other trails are getting work done on them daily to get ready, so one more week, and the whole park will be open.
I'm stoked a lot of people are responding to this, and that's because I just wanted to give this a bit more publicity than the complaints have gotten in the past, hopefully.
Just to clear a few things up...
I didn't expect any different for the regular entry fee, and that is just sad...
This was not the backup system. The backup system was the other thumb, which could probably text on an iPhone quite well, so I trust it fully. There was no laser start either, or a real gate for that matter. Just go on the sixth beep. The races at Southridge are probably more accurate...
Now I'm not hating on this just to hate. I want to get a few things out of the way before I go off on a rant. I feel this is also important enough that it deserves to have its own thread aside from the 'Sticky' Sea Otter thread.
Just so you know who this is coming from, I race pro DH and...
In response to the first question, I have spent time on a pushed Vivid. The shock I came off of was a Fox RC4. My friend was broke off, so I took his shock. Unfortunately I had to give it back, but I just got myself a Vivid to send Push's way. While I think the RC4 was good, the Pushed Vivid...
I assume you mean Solvista, not sol vist, and in that case, notes are being taken. We'll do our best to change the climate, add rocks larger than are on the mountain and install a misting system to make moss grow on those rocks. Actually, no, we'll throw those notes away, we'll just keep up...
I'm not writing in on this to prove a point or argue any person's opinion of this **** storm that we helped create by having some jumps on a pro track. I'm going to try and lay out why the course was what it was, from the builder's point of view.
All 6 of us on the crew here were stoked...
For everyone worried about the lift ticket pricing, here is some info. The regular cost is $25.00 for riding from 10:00 to 5:00 PM. For all the days from Thursday through Sunday the lift is open from 8:00 to 5:00, so it is a couple hours longer ride time, and it is $15.00. Aside from your...
Just in case you need this, you can take a bus from DIA to a train station, and the train up here through the Rocky Mountains. A guy did that a couple weeks ago, he was from the east coast and said it was fairly painless and it was a good trip. I'm sure with a little research you can find the...
Just a little teaser for everyone, this is going to be part of the pro DH track that is yet to be finished. We are getting all the courses ready, and we hope we make it, one and a half weeks to go... The first is from the front of three jumps, and then looking down on the middle jump. Again...
Just a little teaser for everyone, this is going to be part of the pro DH track that is yet to be finished. We are getting all the courses ready, and we hope we make it, one and a half weeks to go... The photos are from the front of three jumps, and from the middle set looking up. Again though...
We've been thinking a lot about what courses/features to use for the Cat 1, 2, 3 course, and we've decided we like parts of Cougar, Drifter, BucNasty and Cheeze It and it's offshoots, Tron? and Ashy Larry. Then we realized how good it was racing Silky and Moga's mile has some of the best...
The 4X is currently being built, only about a quarter of the way done. We might put up some photos if we get some down time in the next month, but that's a big 'if'.
