this post deserves to be repeated. I've got 66.5 with my lyrik solo air on my cove hustler, and its a bear to handle. definitely wanders and forces an inordinate amount of attention to keep it tracking where you want. sometimes you just need to go with the flow! it's probably a bit slacker than I'd prefer, but I can manage the climbs and it makes for a fun descender. definitely wouldn't want it any slacker as it would definitely become an unruly pig at that point.
The best I can tell you is that it is it's own bike, sort of something in the middle. As in, it has the shock rate as described, so it's different from the heckler/superlight, but since it's a single pivot it has different characteristics than the VPP bikes. Super fun.
it's all bout personal preference.
My "trail bike" has a 65.5 HTA. Wouldn't recommend that for everyone, but I like it.
Thanks for only quoting one part of my post. Patriotism is not an issue I brought up. Instead the fact that we need to get off our fat asses and do the things that others provide us with. There is no reason we can't as manufacturers compete with taiwan or south korea, china is a different deal. Why the hell don't our own teenagers harvest our crops for the same wages. Because we have forgotten what hard work is.
I've got a friend/co worker with a 2010 Enduro which has a 66.5 degree head angle and it does still experience some the same flop and migrating and what not but it's not too horrible. In fact I really like that bike, especially if I wanted one bike to do everything.
Being primarily a DHer, I am certainly biased, but I have been riding way more XC this past year than DH.
Because you would either have a monster wheelbase or a mini cockpit.
I'd argue that it has the opposite effect, it hurts Nothern American businesses in the long run. What you do by supporting the idea that they can endlessly crank out the same "widgets" year after year is kill their ability to compete. Other businesses, and especially other countries, will invent new processes, use new materials, use new manufacturing techniques, and so on. The only constant in business is change, and the idea that you can endlessly crank out the same product year after year is just flat out insane. Right now, cheap labor drives the market, but what a company has to do is develop new processes, new ways to manage their resources, and so on. Maybe robots will eventually make all products and it won't matter what country it's done in, or maybe we'll do it first. The problem is that buying according to nationalistic prejudice does not support a free market. Meanwhile other markets are moving ahead and evolving, but you are essentially dooming your own businesses, because they will not have a reason to evolve and they will not be driven to compete. One day, they'll find themselves woefully outgunned by their competition, and they'll die off.
best post I've read in a while

Ummm... I was more referring to the fact that this much guarded SC secret is suddenly revealed in broken english in a 1st post...
Sorry for my English
It's not that bad. I had no trouble figuring out what you meant, which is more than I can say for plenty of other people on here, many of whom I suspect are native speakers.
If you would like to answer in his native language, go ahead. Let me apologize for all us non native speakers for our bad english
Probably more reliable and factual than half the posts on here from people with 1000+ posts.
well did it look like the current V10 or was it something different?
it could also be a evolution of the current V10. kind of like Intense doeswell he called it a carbon V10 so i'm guessing he felt it looked like...a carbon V10.
sorta like the carbon nomad...which looks like a carbon version of the nomad.
hope this helps.
That's Cedric's bike i guess, because of the Deemax Ultimate....
i just saw it on Peat's twitter account.
Well der.
hahaha. You bitch, but they're still fun to ride!
yes they are
I see High Rollers.
Now the real question:
Photografy was not invented there yet.
