He's losing the rear end quite a bit. He could use a higher rise bar.
This neken stem should be a dropper stem, for geting as low as possible for climbs and high as possible for descends. I could not fancy any other utility for this design. Even the turning radius would be so wack, steering lock and all...

If it works like the Truck live valve, it would be a game changer for downhill. Imagine having the plushiest bike ever on rought rock garden, but high speed compression trough the roof on big jumps. 1,6 seconds on the air and BAM, the compression is ... more »
You can tip the bike from side to side with way less force when you have the weight upper and actualy have more grip mid corner because of this. Its the same principle of supermotard bikes going circles around super sport motorbikes in a corner. with ... more »
"Apparently, no one told Amaury his suspension was harsh under braking"
That guy was so fast, I thought the mechanic got him a 160mm rotor. Or some go fast oil on the disk. He probably doesn't feel the harshness because the lack of braking.

If the industry had stayed with 26" wheels, there would be no need for dual crown "enduro" forks, 223mm brake rotors, 4-piston brakes on light-duty trail bikes, etc, but with 29" wheels there's so much more leverage and inertia. A 29" 170mm fork is over an inch taller than a 26"...more
That was definitely my point.
I've followed the SickBiker setup and i'ts really golden for me. Clean thoroughly, like take the chain out and cassete and thinner the thing until squeaky clean. After I use Motul offroad chain lube (spray) and let it soak. The cassete gets a treatment ... more »

So, about the spokes. You could have 1 or 2 rolled up with multitool or other things and if you manage to break a spoke you could just lace it and ride home?
How can these spokes be better to a aluminium rim where the tension is what keeps it aligned? Carbon hops just keep their straightness even without some spokes...

That bolt between the shock and linkage is the right place for a problem. A slightly bend will increase friction on the seals of the shock, and on harder cases, break something, a bolt on the upper or lower placement of the shock. Wouldn't swing my leg over this.

that is one way of doing it. The plower way is by lenghning the back end. Another way is by getting a steeper head angle, that could be interesting to test.
