    Made in the USA

    Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that. About half the frame is made in Canada (most of the CNC linkages, dropouts, axles) downstairs, right beneath my desk. Obviously, custom tubes and custom extrusions are made by US suppliers. 2008 pricing will reflect the current exchange rates...

    CARVE prototype pedals

    I had a good look at one of the prototypes this weekend in Whistler: these pedals look awesome! I personally feel that there is a serious lack of high quality pedals available in the market. Since my 1999 Profile Racing Gas Gas pedals died a few seasons ago (by FAR the best pedal I had ever...

    hubs or bottom brackets w/ needle bearings?

    Yup, that's exactly correct. I'm not a fan of needle bearings in frames. Theoretically they are a good idea, but the implimetation always never works out that well. Plus they require a LOT of width to made them work properly (as DaveP mentioned) because the needle bearing is wide, then you...

    Am I being too fussy?!

    Hello Big-Ted! We have two dealers on the North Shore (Different Bikes in West Vancouver and On Top Bike Shop in North Vancouver), as well as Fanatyk Co in Whistler. Between these three shops, they sell a wide range of products and can put the V-tach in perspective to other frames. We can...

    888 World Cup

    yes, our 07 Marz forks were samples (like about 90% of the forks we had for the show this year). Not sure what actual colour we'll be getting for production 2007 888RC2X WC forks. I DO like the white however :) Then again, I like black forks too :) SUPER nice fork. I currently have a...

    Where to ride at Whistler, apart from Whistler...

    Seb: Just curious - is this "SEB?" :) Anyway, Rainbow is a nice heli drop with awesome views and a fun descent, but as others have said, it's over FAST. Unless you hang around and eat lunch and take your time, you'll be down in about an hour. It's beautiful, but it's pretty much a straight...

    So, uh, about smuggling liquor to Moab...

    Last year we bought a bottle of El Tesoro Anejo at the state liquor store, so you can find decent liquor there. I can't remember what it cost, but it probably was on the more expensive side I'm sure. As others have said, you can buy real beer at the state liquor store as well, but it is about...

    The Conan O'Brian show is renting bikes from my shop.....

    O M G that was funny! I'm in the same boat as you (or one close by anyway :) We have a TV and a DVD player, but no cable. Not even basic. Don't miss it - besides spend too much time on the computer :P However, that Triumph the wonder dog episode from last year almost made me pee my...

    Some Canadican Dude

    No worries on the reply and thanks for the compliments! I wish I could say that building bikes is always a lot of fun, but like most businesses it's a hell of a lot of work and often very stressful. I don't ride anywhere near what I used to but it is cool to see people having a great time on...

    Some Canadican Dude

    Can we not have an e-bitch-slap fight here? The first pic was just from a slick rock drainage on the Ribbon trail in Grand Junction. It's not super difficult or anything - I was just playing around on it, trying to nose wheelie down it (which was kind of tricky because the "apparently smooth"...

    Speaking of crappy web design....

    Ya, Knolly has been pretty under the radar since Interbike. That doesn't mean that we have been sitting on our collective asses doing nothing though :) The Delirium T is in final prototyping stages (latest prototype pics to be released on the net very soon) and we have been hammering on...

    Dream bike frame!

    Definitely no photoshop! The Free Radical hard tail frame is designed for 6-8" forks: forks shorter than 6" will mess up the geometry. The fork in the picture is a 180mm travel single crown Manitou Travis fork: the frame is totally balanced with this fork. There's a bit more information...

    What frame!

    Hey Guys! Yes, our frames are quite expensive, as we build them with the highest quality components and manufacturing available. However, we do have revised pricing for 2006. It was just finalized last week and is in the process of being sent out to our dealers who we are currently in the...

    wat shock could i get for a Yakuza Aniki?

    I just spent the weekend riding with a Roco shock - we received two samples on Friday and the first thing I did was bolt on onto the back end of my V-tach frame! This is NOT an average shock. I expected it to be like an overbuilt Fox Vanilla RC, but this is definitely not the case. The Roco...

    RE: DT Swiss 440 Hugi fr hub

    It's worth the money and it's not crazy loud. Sure, it doesn't have the quick engagement of the King, but it has a more solid feeling than the King. And you're right: for high end 165x12mm hubs, there's not a lot of options: DT Swiss and Hadley are about it. We've had great success with the...

    This is odd.

    We received a few sets like that as well. I think that they have the tandem lines on them instead of the normal lines. The first thing that I would do is call Magura USA and see what they say. You should be able to do one of the following: 1. return the brakes to your vendor for ones...

    hope 6 pot

    I'm totally biased here since we have Magura as a vendor, but I have to agree: the Gustavs are simply ridiculously powerful and have excellent modulation. Magura also has some of the best customer support in the industry. If you're looking for lots of power and still want great modulation...

    Knolly DeliriumT and Free Radical

    Hey Kanter! We're just finishing up the next V-tach production run and expect them to be finished in about 4 weeks. We don't paint them until the very end of manufacturing so we can easily get a white frame it that's what you're looking for. Cheers! Noel

    Knolly DeliriumT and Free Radical

    We're targeting late Q1 or more realistically early Q2 in 2006 to have commercial Delirium T and Free Radical frames available for sale. Cheers! Noel
