no what he's saying is that Profile discontinued that wedge style axle altogether.
and i believe the holes in the cranks are for the welding process
Well you can pretty comfortably sit and pedal a v10 with the seat as low as it can be run. It’s not like XC perfect extension height but it certainly isn’t going to blow your knees out. Everyone on non-SC bike in WCDH certainly look like they’re running their seats way lower from how much their knees are bent.
So you're clapped out rental bike experience in whistler proves the Bulldog doesn't know what he's talking about? Makes sense
Gee Atherton was the Troy Brosnan of DH at his peak. Second or third best guy every year for almost a generation. The guy was always on the podium.
Rachel came out of retirement 5 years later and won first try on a bike she's never raced against women half her age.
And GT went to a totally different platform after that bike Brook was on.
Doesn't your saddle have to be at a certain heigth on a DH bike? Somewhere halfway up your thigh so that you can feel/steer the bike in corners? That is higher than most joeys run their saddle.
Scots Tartan Kilts are generally pleated so they don't really catch on a saddle. Just gotta, watch we don't inadvertently sit on our own free hanging genitalia.
You're probably confusing our kilts with your own leather fettish wear kilt.
based on the picture of not v10s it looks like about just above the knee, with straight legs. Which for me would put the top of the seat about 10mm above the top of the seat tube on a medium v10.
Yeah, I have noticed that when I take my endurpo bike to the bike park, if I slam the saddle as low as it'll go, I end up with bruises on the sides of my knees. Leaving it at the normal height where its just above the knee and bumps into the thighs is a lot more comfortable. I noticed the same thing when I borrowed a buddy's bike with a 210mm dropper instead of my usual 170.
There's the whole bit of geometry, where if a rider is standing mostly over the center of the bike and the saddle is going back at some angle (~70 degrees), extending the seatpost could move the saddle back behind their legs, and shortening it could bring it forward (in addition to down) and make contact with their legs.

6ft 2 Greg's seat height
5ft7 Laurie's seat height.
5ft7 Jackson's seat height
5ft8 Nina's seat height
Seeing as Greg has a good few inches MOAR seatpost exposed than his short team mates I'm fairly confident he'd just lower it if it was the HUGE issue you seem to think it is for him.
Mibbie drop him a DM over on insta just incase he's overlooked this idea though.

Look all pretty normal to me.
Just above the knee sounds low to me.
Nina Hoffmann was running a large frame on the previous model and had about 12-14 cm seatpost showing above the seat tube at 5'8".

My main suggestion for this thread is you guys should pick a unit system and be a dick about it.
BURGTEC init? 
Every single burgtec crabon bar I've seen in the last year has had it's centre markings applied squint
You do see tons of seatposts run backwards on DH bikes tho. Simply so the rail clamp better suits the nose up saddle angle with a slacker seat tube

Thanks for sending a pic over. You don't mind me sharing with everybody, do you?I don't always slam my saddle to the lowest possible limit. But when I do, I make sure it hits my inner calf.
It took me forever to find those Holy RollersThanks for sending a pic over. You don't mind me sharing with everybody, do you?
So it's the bikes fault that he didn't win. You and your boyfriend must be right.
Yet the siblings won on that shitty bike multiple times. Shitty bikes win races? Yay!
As far as my experience, since you can't comprehend -
The Giant bike was new as it was late June and a lot of the valley trails were just opening.
I didn't like it.
"Millions" of other riders love it.
My opinion doesn't mean the rest of the population is wrong.
I wasn't paid shit to ride it.
As far as his experience -
A WC racer tried to sell himself to bicycle brands.
GT I'm sure let him ride their bike to see what he thought.
He, said YES!
GT pays him.
He talks shit about them as his teammates are winning.
Sounds like a sore loser to me.

The grown man keyboard warrior calling a professional racer a loser because of his opinion.
And I must be gay for laughing at you're unhinged comparison between you're rental bikes relationship to a WC DH racer and his rig. OK
Nobody cares about you or you're experience with you're rental bike
FYI Brooks teammates did not win on that bike either. Just the facts
Just listened to the Bulldog podcast and I thought he didn't really bash that bike that bad really. Just says it didn't work for him which is fair enough. Some people don't adapt to different things as well.
Either way, beats listening to the boring interviews where they stick to the corporate script or refuse to say what didn't work for them or whatever.

Mega ochain?
Grrr, see a nice shiny stainless steel hardtail frame then see they run the same length HT on both sizes.
Headset spacers suck, slammed stems FTW!

I really don't like the feel of oval rings. I always ride clipped and think they suit flat pedals much better.
I don’t even notice a feel difference clipped in. Maybe it has better traction when putting power down on tech climbs maybe it doesn’t. I don’t think I’m going to go out of my way to buy another one but I don’t notice it enough to want to take it off. Garbunk might have a different profile that isn’t Absolutely awful though.
