damn, so they are claiming that. and it wasn't some crap that single track world came up with.- the possibility to adjust the braking balance of the bike via the rear disc brake mount (not visible in the photos)
He is probably the best all round rider in th world. Top 10 threat every weekend in Dh, podium threat in 4x, rampage style podium threat...CG must be a marketing genius. How else would he get a company to custom build him frames when it doesn't seem like he's even a WC contender any more. Am I way off base thinking he's like the Anna Kournikova of the DH scene?
How is he not a WC contender anymore? He was going pretty good at the world champs till he broke his wrist, hes been off the bike since thenCG must be a marketing genius.

Bicycle (race) business is not about results, it's about the impressions. Cedric has them. Cedric has put commencal on the map. Could his results be better?-hell ya. He has the mindset and skills to win every DH and 4X and huckjibjam, but that argument is as old as the hills.CG must be a marketing genius.

whats wrong there is that its not possible. changing the orientation of the brake caliper changes nothing. the moment created on the swingarm is still the same. the only way that braking characteristics can be changed is by changing the instant center.I dont understand the business of "- the possibility to adjust the braking balance of the bike via the rear disc brake mount (not visible in the photos)" can anyone elaborate?
i can elaborate to a degree as I saw and rode the bike just a month ago in the canary islands, however it was not finalized, perhaps that statement quoted above is a bit too general and has been taken out of context.Nice bike! I guess this photo resolves any ideas of the crazy headtube angle that it appeared to have previously with the shorter shock mounted to it.

Gee Atherton?He is probably the best all round rider in th world. Top 10 threat every weekend in Dh, podium threat in 4x, rampage style podium threat...
Gee is a great racer, but when he wins a rampage style event then he can have the title.Gee Atherton?
and smoked more cigarettes.^ Cedric has bagged more sluts than Gee, so....makes him a winner in some other category as well.
AND he's french.and smoked more cigarettes.
