Weight is killer too at only 3#!
That's a great though.

Added reply in a thread MegNeg - What settings do you run?
I weigh 180# and ride a large Foxy 29 with an Avalanche tuned Rockshox RT3 shock and added the MegNeg sometime back. The LR on my bike is Progressive - Linear - Regressive. This sort of has the effect of having a great pedaling platform, maybe using ... more »

Fox missed the chance with the 38, when they should have been building a 36 dual crown.

Added reply in a thread The Best Component Upgrade for a Mountain Bike?
In order of importance, but also considering bang for the buck: 1) A bike rear suspension design that pedals well. Nothing matters more to me and creates more overall speed. 2) Tire inserts, front and rear. I like Tubolights. 3) Then lots of tire experimentation ... more »
Added a comment about press release Mondraker and the Birth of Modern MTB Geometry
Mondraker builds fantastic bicycles that were not only ahead of their time, but they seem to understand where the correct geometry balance is where other manufacturers, chasing trends, went too far. I own 2 Foxy's in fact.
That said, I don't love uber short stems, I feel like they hinder front end traction on flat turns.

Added a comment about product review Compliance and Tool Storage: OneUp Carbon Handlebar and EDC Stem Tested
How does the OneUp bar compare to the Renthal FatBar CarbonLITE in compliance? No one shows that and I'd really like to have a comparison.
Thanks

Added reply in a thread Overcoming Fear - How Do You Guys Do It?
Drink a beer before you ride. I did this once inadvertently and proceeded to set a KOM and a handful of top 10s and I'm pretty average, and 48 (and started at 43). I rode so loose and comfortably it was like an entirely different experience. Also seemed ... more »
Liked a comment on the item Even MORE Negative Volume! RockShox MegNeg Review
Thanks for the reply Jeff and I agree about the one size fits all approach. I was running no tokens 3 bands and weighed about 200. I think if I'd stress anything about the Megneg is that it's a change/different not an "upgrade". I think in a lot of cases "not yours"...more
Liked a comment on the item Even MORE Negative Volume! RockShox MegNeg Review
Used the Megneg About 6 months on a dead linear bike (current Slash) it did make the bike more progressive but it. Made the small bump noticably worse. Also for no reason I can explain I was getting significantly more pedal strikes at the same sag. Went back to the...more

Great content! Thanks for the meaningful review of more affordable bikes.
One thing I would love to see — does spending 10K on a bike actually make you faster than a rig you can put together in the range of $3500-$4000? I’d absolutely love to see a review that includes timed tests in conditions...more
Added a comment about feature On eMTB's and Mountain Bikes
I like the idea of an exception for E-bikes on public lands made for those with handicap plates. Keep riding Joe!
However Joe represents a very small minority of E-Bike users.

Different story Joe. I don’t think anyone has issues with impaired people riding them. However, that’s max 5% of the eBike market.
The rest are just lazy, instant gratification types that are all too common in society these days.

A bike that turns everyone into Nino Schurter on climbs, allows beginners access to the highest (often rowdiest) trails and doubles the distance/trail degradation they can do in the same time is a completely different sport.
Yes I’ve ridden a couple. My comments stand.

Does it have a motor? Is it a 'cycle"? Then?...
Unless you're disabled or over 70 yrs old, stop being a lazy fat-ass and pedal a bike without a motor on non-motorized trails. If you want a motor, get a dirtbike. I do both. Both are mega-fun. But let's not jeopardize trail access of MTB by riding MOTORCYCLES on...more

Riding since 88 and you never attained enough fitness to make climbs at least tolerable?
