Photos of the new Session 88
check their site. theyve been on there for a month


The new Foes stuff, especially the DHS Mono and RS7.
theres no new RS7 AFAIK. it was a late 2008/2009 model as it was.

someone said on Pinkbike of all places that the new DHS is a 165mm rear end which doesnt make sense since mine is a 160....but it is 2lbs lighter and has easier to get to pivot bolts (thankfully!)

regarding a new dh rig ,foes said at bikeradar : "I don’t have anything fleshed out yet, and I don’t want to tell you a whole lot before some test mules have seen a lot of dirt, but I will say that it’ll be lighter and easier to work on," he says. "Oh… and it’ll be a sick-looking design!"

Photos of the best Leatt Club MX rip-off that is half the price and just the same quality.

If a piece of metal makes it into a photo on here, it has to come with it's accompanying WEIGHT and PRICE. People can show you pics of anything they want, but who cares if you don't know the weight or cost. The rule should be that you can't post it if you haven't.

That's real work. :D

Let's take up donations so Fraser can carry around a mini digital scale.



That won't look suspicious going through customs :D

Anything gearbox / internal transmission related.

Also, anything outlandish or bizarre.
How about a new rule, no more Gearbox crap until its production. I feel like EVERY bike event theres some joe-blow with a "gearbox race bike". We see one picture and people jizz themselves, then we never hear about it again and the project dies.

Also +1 on michi tires

Details on how the new lower priced Alpinestars Bionic SB "adjusts" to accomadate different neck lengths? Maybe a video interview that explains how it can be tuned for DH and what the differences are in the 3 sizes they are offering as opposed to the 2 that Leatt does.

Fine, then let's apply that rule across the board. No pictures of anything that isn't production. :thumb:

I'm just tired of seeing all these crazy gearbox bikes that everyone is like "oh just a year or 2 from production". Ya...we've been hearing that for like 5-6 years and have gotten basically nothing. IT's about the only product category that has had such spectacular hype, but has failed so miserably to deliver.

Because the only way everybody cares for gearbox bikes is on the forums but when you'd ask most of the "followers" would buy something other over heavy gearbox frames. Apparently making them has as much sense as buying them. Couldn't care less.
