Surprised they didn't cover every non-special-ed part with stickers.
That track looks sick.
Nice rebar placement.
did he win?
Mish Mash color combo there....
oh please god tell me you're having a laugh?
nice pic !
No, not at all... Its just a Fanboy that looks like him riding a Demo. The Number is a sure sign of this, because if it where Hill it would be all perfect and no mud on it because hes to fast for mud to even stick to him......
Can't you see the unibrow??
that... and the number plate would read 001!!!No, not at all... Its just a Fanboy that looks like him riding a Demo. The Number is a sure sign of this, because if it where Hill it would be all perfect and no mud on it because hes to fast for mud to even stick to him......
too!!!
hhhhhmmmm the Specialized 'Chunder'
The Chunder was designed to be our most versatile DH tire ever, with reinforced dual ply casing to stiffen the sidewall, preventing pinch flats and improving cornering ability.
Casing: 60 TPI
420/D1 Control Casing increases puncture and cut resistance
Compound: 60a
Dual ply casing
Bead: Aramid
PSI: 25-50

The Chunder actually isn't that bad of a tire. It seems to do better when its loose and dusty.
However the new Clutch is grippy. Actually that is my only complaint is that it is too grippy. I am more used to tires that drift in a predictable manner. Which the DHF does well. The Clutch just holds too well.

I can't figure out why this is still so hard to understand, it's only been stated a few dozen times. Hill and Fairclough ride for the Monster Energy team, not the Specialized team. Specialized is (most likely) the new frame sponsor of the Monster Energy team, there is no reason to believe any of their other sponsors will change as a result. It's no different from the Specialized/Decline Team America program: Specialized supplied the frames, other companies supplied everything else.
The Chunder sideknobs are STIFF. Way stiffer than the Maxxis knobs. That said, they cut amazing through sandy/silty crap, but they tend to "stand up" on hardpack since the knobs don't modulate at all.
If I remember right, Specialized had a warranty going on for the tires for some time that stated a warranty replacement if the sideknobs tore off.

Every year a new susp. design for Brandog - sp ,dw and now fsr......
thats only one steep roll down from the track,
the rest of track is fun an quite flowly but with only 120m elevation drop and 2min
there isnt anything too difficult on it
its not bad though, i dont mind it
not surprising with a 60a compound!
All compounds. It's most noticeable if you pick up a 40/42 Chunder side to side with a ST Minion/HR. They have their place and their strengths.
I can't believe nobody's said anything mean to you about this post...
Kudos to the RM crew for not e-bodyslamming a noob for a breathtaking act of barny-ism
he doesnt look like he likes the bike, he looked way more zen on his sunday.
i'm ultra noob so I had to leave it alone.... it could be anyone under there... right?
...you know it's an Aussie race when there's 4ft. sections of re-bar sticking straight up out of the ground... you learn better bike-handling skillz OR you learn to breathe through a gaping hole in your chest cavity... either way - that sh!t will harden you the F@#% up.

Who cares? Do you really think "contracts" in mtb mean that much? People are going to go where the money is, and its a real question of whether or not specialized would want hill riding their tires. Guarantee that if specialized wanted to replace maxxis as the tire sponsor and Hill was willing to ride them, Maxxis would be gone. I doubt they'd even try to fight it.
