Sam thing as Gee's commencal, obviously different style. Very cool design.sleeve to give adjustable HA from 64 to 66 degrees.
That sounds kinda nifty
Yea Evil isn't the first to use it, but I think theirs is the cleanest execution.Sam thing as Gee's commencal, obviously different style. Very cool design.
Is the inside of the tube offset, or do you just raise & lower it?Yea Evil isn't the first to use it, but I think theirs is the cleanest execution.
Actualy looks exactry the same as the one on the lapierre dh-230 (the pre 09 dh models). Commy had the sleave hidden If I'm not wrong.Yea Evil isn't the first to use it, but I think theirs is the cleanest execution.
Idk for certain, but I'm pretty sure its offset.Is the inside of the tube offset, or do you just raise & lower it?
Not familiar with those lapierres. And what does communism have to do with adjustable head angles and hiding sleeves?Actualy looks exactry the same as the one on the lapierre dh-230 (the pre 09 dh models). Commy had the sleave hidden If I'm not wrong.
yes and they creaked like a .....Actualy looks exactry the same as the one on the lapierre dhCommy had the sleave hidden If I'm not wrong.

I don't know, I kinda dig the commencal application, not so pronounced on the front. Great idea though.Yea Evil isn't the first to use it, but I think theirs is the cleanest execution.
Commys? I've head of them breaking in other places but on the headtube?yes and they creaked like a .....
Just personal opinion yo! Besides:I don't know, I kinda dig the commencal application, not so pronounced on the front. Great idea though.

Pacific cycles has made the "Front Porch" headtube for much longer and I think Scott had something similar more recently too.Actualy looks exactry the same as the one on the lapierre dh-230 (the pre 09 dh models). Commy had the sleave hidden If I'm not wrong.
cross bike?And now for something completely different...

The major difference between this bike and the Sunn (and it is a pretty big difference): the Sunn's shock is actuated from one end, the Evil's shock is actuated from BOTH ends.Aside from my trolling about this being a nice Sunn, I actually think this frame will be fantastic. I've said for a long time that the priority for DH frames should be, in order from most important:
- geometry/fit
- compression curve
- braking performance
- pedaling performance
I've never understood the emphasis on crazy linkages to improve pedaling on a DH bike when you're typically not traction limited under acceleration, but most definitely are when braking, and handling is more important than both. This frame seems to put geometry and shock performance first. Looking forward to test rides (and pricing).
Oh you trend follower you!No, think trendier. Singlespeed commuter.

that would be so awesome - would love to replace my old school GT CRX frame with something new.cross bike?
Like I said, I was trolling. And the very point of my post is that the geometry and compression curve being the most important thing, will set this bike apart from others much moreso than pivot point and structural design (which are what make it visually resemble some other frames). So in other words, it will be completely different than the Sunn.The major difference between this bike and the Sunn (and it is a pretty big difference): the Sunn's shock is actuated from one end, the Evil's shock is actuated from BOTH ends.
oops. looks like I need to improve my reading comprehension lawlz.Like I said, I was trolling.
Maybe someday soon, just lots on the plate right now!that would be so awesome - would love to replace my old school GT CRX frame with something new.
keeping my fingers crossed...Maybe someday soon, just lots on the plate right now!

I've heard it's supposed to be a fixie and that Kevin has been riding it all over Ballard.No, think trendier. Singlespeed commuter.

Edit: Nevermind, just read that it's a SS..not for me..
WARNING thread hijacker WARNINGI'll sell you a kickass frame. ME ME ME
I think it's less about traction issues when accelerating and more about getting the most out of the minimal pedalling opportunities on current DH tracks and bikes. BB heights of 13.8 and lower combined with increasing technical difficulty on a run means there are so few places you can get a stroke or half a stroke in; and most pedalling tends to involve frantic mashing (rather than anything near a controlled motion). The more forward acceleration you can get with the least wastage, the better.Aside from my trolling about this being a nice Sunn, I actually think this frame will be fantastic.

He said it, not me, Todd!is evil thinking about doing a 29'er?
weagle's bikes are designed to be very neutral under braking but if i had to throw out a guess i would say that hole is so, if some nerd wants to run a floating rear brake they won't need a bracket, or any weird mounting, they can just bolt the eyelet right to that hole......What is with DW putting 'single chainguide mount holes' on the non drive side on the DH frames he has designed???
Sunday, Revolt....DHR?
Is this just for some sort of production Jig? Just 'cuz'?
Anyone? DW?
We're actually designing our own wheel size 1/2 way between 650B & 29"... =P29'ers
Just there b/c the part was designed to able to be extruded and the factory threaded it like on the drive side. No floater necessary.non-drive hole
can also be a mount for some bashguard?weagle's bikes are designed to be very neutral under braking but if i had to throw out a guess i would say that hole is so, if some nerd wants to run a floating rear brake they won't need a bracket, or any weird mounting, they can just bolt the eyelet right to that hole......
i could be wrong though...
