Two more days to enter the Secret Santa!
Entries must be in by midnight on November 29th. We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
mines a size large and the 3.2 update with the increased insertion depth (235mm max)
is it the dropper tube itself or the mechanism stopping you from inserting further. There are some droppers with shorter insertion depths for the tube than the oneup and also some that just have smaller diameter mechanisms so that might help you clear instead.I kind of want a shorter dropper, as mine is currently inserted as far as it can go. It'd be nice to be able to squeak it a tiny bit lower, for those days on super steep stuff. Its not really a big deal while riding, but if you stop on a steep section or bail, it can be a little goofy getting back on the bike with a high seat.
One of the downsides of these Banshee's is their short seat insertion depth.
This is my bike with a 210mm OneUp, shimmed down to 190mm. My only concern is if I drop to a 180mm post, the seat post collar will be even higher than it already is. Or am I an idiot and wrong? I don't know if I have long legs or what, but my seat has always been giraffe neck like.
@canadmos and @sethimus I could raise you both, but I never take pictures of my bike with the post up cause it looks so giraffy...
V3 without the ability to adjust pressure is a no go. At least in the fatbike where it needs to be at max pressure to have good return speed at -20c
Maybe the new SKF seal will help in the cold. Waiting for review from winter riding folks.
That V3 explains why V2 were half price on black Friday.

that’s what you’re doing wrong on the fat bike. You need the brand x/trans-x dropper on those. They work flawlessly at -20F.
WTF are you talking about?
I didn't say it didn't work. Just saying it needs to be at 300psi. I run my summer post at around 260psi. My fatbike OneUp V2 is 4 years old and receives one clean up and lube per season.
After all, what's moar important, your personal comfort and preference, or how your bike looks to Gary?
within reason man!After all, what's moar important, your personal comfort and preference, or how your bike looks to Gary?
I mean COME ON!!!
tell me that's comfortable pedaling across something flat

Exactly. It required cleaning/greasing frequently. Since I was about to buy another anyway the prospect of less maintenance is something to be excited about. Then, "less weight" was all it took for me to finish.
You're wrong for trying to get started, or even climb something tricky, with the post at full extensionI kind of want a shorter dropper, as mine is currently inserted as far as it can go.

The answer is NO if you are like me and want a 150 EXT. They made them, they exist (and can even be pushed to 170mm), but they didn't make many of them and they never had any extra. The new G3 will do 160, so I may eventually go that route.
For about a month or two. The 3 dead PNWs with the same cartridge I've killed are the evidence.
Good on ya NORCO
Norco Files Patent for New Downhill Bike - Pinkbike
At least someone (who is bigger than a bread box) is trying to innovate? Or is this the "too little too late" type of thing?

what's the point of an idler that far above a sorta idrive but not really high pivot?
This looks like 'current trend placed here for optics' nonsense
Is this what you consider innovation? Everything you need to know to design that linkage can be found in a 100+ year old text book. Today computers can do all the not so difficult math for you. If you want to get real fancy running some basic optimization routines can refine the design to do exactly what you want while constraining your pivot locations in the general area where you want them. You could do most of the design on a website made to sell childrens toys.

A good bike today isn't defined by a perfectly linear leverage ratio (is that even a good thing?), it is the refinement of all the details to get everything to work well together. It looks kind of neat, until you need to service the bearings.

How many ochains?
I see at least 13 moar pivots that need an idler
nothing but opportunity on the horizon
I don't know what any of those words mean but we're counting on you not knowing either so that we seem smRt which makes you buy itThe real brain teaser in this article: is it effect or affect in this context?
My friend, you probably shouldn’t tussle with superiors in matters of language. I mean, I guess you do speak Cracker?
However, my query is genuinely genuine.
take my money???
OKAY!!!!!
because I need to buy a new Ego battery, which is oddly ironic.
Oh my goodness! What could have possibly happened?
well at least it was an eco friendly fleshlight
and by that I mean it had a green sticker on it with the company's logo
came to post this. A+
How?
The number of people looking at new Banshee's is super low, its not like they are saturating the market.
The price of those frames were already high, so 12% is a few hundred dollars/pounds/weird dollar sign currency things/pounds etc. A used bike is going to sell for way less than that.
