dunno if this has been outed here yet; another contender in that oh so trendy shorter travel burly fun bike niche. looks good:

Maybe you know the answer to this.......beyond the standard brake line through the steerer, is there another trick besides a gyro to get the rear ready to spin? Looking at cam mccaul's bike, there's no lines anywhere hanging off his bars. Watching his run at crankworks last year, he had his bike/bars spun multiple times with no long visible derailleur or rear brake line hanging off.yes, but route that front brake through the steerer tube
That pedals much better.that thing is damn hot...its just basically an expensive bottlerocket though......
Cam has a hydraulic gyro for his rear and runs the front through the stem. I can't find any info on that hydro gyro, anyone else?Maybe you know the answer to this.......beyond the standard brake line through the steerer, is there another trick besides a gyro to get the rear ready to spin?

you are welcome..Cam has a hydraulic gyro for his rear and runs the front through the stem. I can't find any info on that hydro gyro, anyone else?
and probably 2lbs lighter.That pedals much better.
That's like saying a v10 is the same thing as a morewood just because their made for the same kind of riding.
It's supposed to be a specific frame. Different top tube, rear triangle, and geo from the looks of it.So is that really a slopestyle specific frame or did someone just build up a 6.6 with slopestyle worthy parts?
Yeah the new website is steaming pilethe intense site won't load for me so I can't look around to find out.
it's this crazy new concept in biking where you ride your bike down a ski slope and jump stuff...........radical stuff, the future for sureWhat the heck is slopestyle?
Something that .00013% of the mountain biker population is able to compete at, but something a lot of people want a bike for.What the heck is slopestyle?
No.sorry to derail the thread a little but does anyone know when the slopestyle mountaincycles bike will be out in production? just one quick answer would do. thanks

What would jeff steber know about mountain cycle?
Didn't notice that, but I assume he meant intensecycles considering this thread has nothing to do with mountaincyclesWhat would jeff steber know about mountain cycle?

http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171825I dont think Cam uses a hydro gyro, There is a feature on his slopestyle bike in this months MBUK comic. He had a hole drilled in his top ahead spacer and ran it through that somehow.....will try to get a pic.

Check the pic.
Definitley looks like that trixer thing.
you got me there... I will check the mag tonight if I can and scan a pic. It has a big close up.
Im sure the hydro gyro should have some sort of cool name like gydro
Agreed...however the burlier short travel bikes that are being made are filling a niche that was left open when freeride and downhill bikes started going to more and more travel.Something that .00013% of the mountain biker population is able to compete at, but something a lot of people want a bike for.
Go figure.
Who cares though, I am down for whatever is fun and sells bikes.

Amen... I spent the last 1/4 of the season riding a 5+5" bike, and having a rediculously fun time. Short travel bikes that can withstand a beating are real, real, real fun.It is not the ability to compete that makes people interested in slopestyle. Its the fact that the bikes that are used for slopstyle are practical for what most riders are doing today. Like was said, a short travel bike with fun geometry. I think for next eyar I want to build up a 4X bike that is slightly less oriented to being the lightweight racer bike and make sure that it will be durable and fun for more types of riding.
slopestyle: new genre of no-mountian riding where elements of marketing and magazine ads create an unforseen need in the market and minds of late teen/early twenty somethings the world over.
