You shut your whore mouth!
Are you fond of the pajamas or the tape post?
Also that rear brake adapter looks flexy.

Is there anything in that pic not to be fond of? The sport watch, the bad ass "My War" sticker, the kit, the list goes on. Seriously, what frame is that? One? It looks like a Cove Shocker to me. Can't make out the shock either, but it I'm sure it was par excellence.
Not to be the picky one here, but that guy seems to be going uphill on a downhill bike. A bit too Armstrong if you ask me.You shut your whore mouth!
Isn't that an Elka Stage 5?

It seems strange that he used that pic for the CK mechanism, it doesn't really show how it works, which is more akin to the one on the far right. The DT swiss is fairly simple, but something like this would say a lot more than the ring-drive that looks to be the same as DT. Those angular splines are key:The spokes would be under slightly more strain with axial loads, I'd imagine a rigger or an E engineer would be able to work out some numbers, doubt it would be much.
When searching for Superboost Plus hubs I came across Trailmech, it's completely unrelated but there is some pretty nice info on different types of hub engagement.

I remember the yellow deemax being sought after back in the day.
Gold star for Slim! I think you're right. The white spring threw me off. Regardless, that's a magnificent specimen of gear and bike.
King hubs ftw in my book.

Um, dude, WTF are you wearing there?
Don't front, we know it's you.
F*** yeah! I always wanted one of those jerseys. It was called quasar or something. Sick!You shut your whore mouth!
Edit: How did that rear post mount not snap off??
haha, i still ride one of those old coves. the dropouts are flexy as fuck and would snap before the adapter - i had one loose bolt and cracked it. Even with stronger NSB dropouts and thicker adapter the caliper still visibly moves.
