closer to the village and hot tub is indoors? nice.
did i tell you about the random thong i found in a nightstand last year?
Hell yeah - Freeride is back, baby.
Can't resist...putting in a pre-order for a Norco Shore frame. I've always wanted a bike with full DH geometry/travel with a pedal-able seatpost position.
Indeed!
I don't know about Finn but Loic spends a lot of time at the gym.
Then Loic's mechanic, Jack Roure, who has been with him for many years, is a true suspension nerd. More about that here:
Why Does Loic Bruni's Suspension Work So Well?
Loic Bruni, your reigning downhill World Champion, has arguably the smoothest looking bike on the World Cup downhill circuit. There's something about the way his Specialized Demo tracks and sticks to the ground. So much so that even his competitors notice. Back in September, Vital's Johan Hjord...

Finn Iles and his mechanic hit the trails in France to dial in his suspension in January.
Nah, I'm healthy. Would def like to get some Baileys or the Rock. Not sure how it works in terms of logistics. For sure want some Wilson's death march. Lets throw some dates around with @jackalopeyou injured? bailey and windrock are open year round

Not yet either--need to research the filthiest hovel on the mountain so when Farris does another vomit fountain into my 5.10's and then @jackalope befouls the bathroom I don't feel as compelled to hide the evidence.
Can't believe how amazing this bike is, I had the previous gen Warden and a Delirium for reference.

nice
I don’t think I’ve even seen one of the new Marzos in real life. I wish my 38 had Z150 stickers.
Waiting on i9 Hydra wheels to arrive. Also if 2021 will come in ALUMINIUM.......I am running a 160mm HELM 2 upfront with 44 offset and a long stroke shock in the back which puts it at 145 or 150mm Travel. I can't recall the exact travel bump it gives.
My boss has named it The Crack Head build because my last was stolen and the fork and shock got destroyed. Now technically he was a meth head but that doesn't sound as cool. So the suspension was covered by insurance and I got a good deal on a new frame.

I installed a charger 2.1 damper in my 2016 Pike last night. Rode it in the leafy wet today, and it worked. I can't say I noticed much of a difference. Though conditions were challenging so I wasn't really able to properly test it out.
I was reading Sight reviews last night, only negatives on 2020's seemed to be on the time to get the rear shock feeling good.
I did not ride any other shock but this one on my Sight, but i can tell you for sure that the 2021 Fox float X2 works perfect
on the Sight with minimal tinkering. Even with no spacers and minimal HSC it still uses its travel well and ramps up enough at bottom out. I still can’t believe right when i got this bike built a sweet bike park opened 35 minutes from my house, so I have been testing it there, and once setup, I have left all the settings as is.
Very nice.
How close did you end up to the Norco recommended settings actually? Their setup thingy is the most comprehensive I've seen from a manufacturer.
FWIW, on my Norco HSP I was very close if not exactly the same as their recommended set up. As you said, they really do a nice job with their set up guide.
Is the Z1 Coil any good? I have been sort of tempted to buy the conversion kit but I think my money would be better spent going towards a Formula Selva C.
Well, I built my frame up with ‘21 Fox fork and shock and they both changed so I did not use the exact setup there. But I went by the book on their frame size and cockpit setup and it was spot on. Their theory about not changing their suggested stem length but adjusting bar width worked for me. I am 5’10, large frame, 40 mm stem, one 15 mm spacer, and a 780 mm bar.
I was cleaning my bike this morning, and discovered the pedal insert in the non-drive side of my SixC cranks is toast. Gonna see if I can get a replacement arm (hopefully), and if not, the fun begins: finding a crankset for a 73mmx142mm chainline. Stupid. fucking. industry. standards. was thinking Shimano XT but it's looking tough to find a crank for a non-boost chainline. bastards.
Vorsprung makes a Smashpot version for the Z1/Z2. The advantage being they have 11 spring rates instead of 4, plus hydraulic bottom out.
Yeah it's pretty awesome, super smooth! For reference the last coil single crown fork I had was a 08 66RC, which felt great back then. After that it has been air sprung single crown forks, but have always had a coil fork for my dh bike. When it came to this build I was either going 38 or Z1, very glad I went with the Z1, I've missed the way coil forks feel.
If I understand correctly, most cranks aren't boost/nonboost specific, its the chain ring that will decide that.
The new XT cranks say that are compatible with both 142 and 148 spacing. Maybe its the chainline that changes?
I'm guessing you can just get a new crank arm (see @Jm_ ).

That's true for a lot of direct mount cranks, but not Shimano.If I understand correctly, most cranks aren't boost/nonboost specific, its the chain ring that will decide that.

XT M8100 is for non-boost. M8120 is boost. M8130 is superboost.
I've found https://productinfo.shimano.com/#/spec to be a good start when looking for new components.
Well, I just got off the phone with Fox-Marzocchi customer service... They sell the crank arms individually, for $100. That works for me. And they'll ship it to me direct on 1-2 shipping. So I'm "chuffed".If I understand correctly, most cranks aren't boost/nonboost specific, its the chain ring that will decide that.

If I hadn't just bought a new damper for my Pike, I might have been tempted to get a full new crankset (who knows how long the drive-side arm will last). I've been wanting a shorter crank for a while. But for now, this will do just fine.
That is pretty damn fair compared to how much they retail for.
i was real confused for a minute until i remembered that foxzocchi bought RF a while back. foxzocchiface.
I thought so too. If I had my wits about me, I should have asked if I could buy both arms in a shorter length...
Me too. When they answered I said I called the number at the bottom of the Race Face page... and he said they're all the same company now. Which jogged my memory.
Regardless, it was a pleasant customer service experience.
