That's alway in the beginning of mountain bike action. You know, the ugly prick with the beard and whatnot? He should be shot, just caus I'm sick of seeing his mug every time I get that sorry ass magazine.
Yeah I think that's who it is. RC ha? That's the guy who answers questions like.
Hey RC, I have a Norco 125. I'm thinking about putting a Super Monster on it so I can do downhill and 80' drops. Do you think the headtube can handle the fork? Also, I'm only running a 22T up front. For some reason on long descents, I pedal like 240rpm but don't get the speed I need. What do you think the problem is?
Yeah, it's a sorry ass mag. I just look at the pictures, and once in a while they'll review a cool bike. Or better yet, once I saw a shootout between someing vs. Specialized FSR and believe it or not, the something actually won. Imagine that?
"I have a klein palomino (sp?). I have it built up for DH/FR. Do you think I should ride DH/FR on it? It's fast and light, but I think it would be a good DH/FR bike..." God, I want to hurt that guy.
If RC's the guy that recommended a 888 as a DJ fork for a Haro Xtreme, then I agree, he has to go... WOO I just contradicted myself, huh?
You're right, some of the people who write to RC are absolute retards. I say he should always tell them to do what they're planning, and if they're stupid enough to try it, such as DH'ing a Klein Palomino, the problem will take care of itself.
You are serious? That is the worst part of that magazine. Stick figures riding bikes would be better. Their photographers should have their shutter fingers cut off.
Me: What is the best fork in the whole world for anyone who rides a bike?
RC: The Marzocchi 888.
Me: I ride a 1995 Trek hardtail. Does it fit me?
RC: No, you need a 130mm stem and a Marzocchi 888.
Me: I have an older Specialized S-Works cross-country hardtail. Can I make it into a downhill bike?
RC: Definitely, but you need to buy new bars, stem, wheelset, cranks, platform pedals, bottom bracket, disc brakes, headset, saddle, seatpost, and a Marzocchi 888.
