Ironically, I've seen plenty of videos of him understeering off a corner using that stem. Wheel flop is really only a factor when riding slowly with sharp turns. It's the tendency for the front end to drop down when turning the wheel relative to the bike. Slacker head angles cause the wheel to flop over since the rotational axis is more angles relative to the ground, causing the front end to drop. When you're riding fast and linking corners that stops being an issue because you're leaning your bike into the turn. Honestly not sure how stack height factors in...

pretty sure the h/a contributed more to beer's observations than the (445mm) rc. to wit: "If you expect a super-slack head angle to erase your mistakes, this isn’t the bike for you"

Their pre wave alloy? i've owned a set of those 'big bearing' pedals for years and i've probably put my foot on it once. Regardless the answer to flat pedals is always the same.... go and buy clip pedals.

Still looking for a bike with 69% progression and 420mm stays.

Guaranteed no concussion fullface helmets.

DH casing hard compound rear tyre Light pants with a tiny d3o layer, or even just multiple layers of soft material over the knee to prevent scratches. I'm convinced this can work, despite trying to build my own version which is not very comfortable or protective...

My Kavenz has a 1.8 front center/rear center ratio. I’ve also ridden the same bike set up with a 1.93 ratio. The handling characteristics between the two setups is stark. Not as noticeable when it’s super steep but the 1.8 ratio corners way better. Front wheel grip is massively better in flatter corners. The 1.8 ratio setup is also more forgiving of body position and easier to ride fast. I’m firmly in the long chainstay gang at this point.

Wasn't it already determined they are Brembos? Only makes sense, seeing as Brembo owns Ohlins.

eebs. mentions fork is gonna be heavy.

Looks like everyone hunting for deals crashed the website.

i have modified my stumpy evo to go from a 1.85 to a 1.75 (approximate, will measure later...) and the difference is huge. I would not have kept this bike if I wasn't able to get it to turn the way I wanted it to. Its amazing that I was able to bolt on the XL seat stay to give me a 453 CS measurement. Honestly I just got lucky this was an available solution, otherwise I would be on a Madonna V3 (a better bike, but it would have cost me a lot of $$$ to switch frames.) I...

Could it help if instead we start from riding posture? For example, start instead by refining our model of posture like the upright Jackson & Asa stance, the attack Amaury Pierron stance, Finn Iles crouching tiger, etc. If we thought about our own stance as the starting point then bikes could be properly fit to our measurements and center of mass, including optimizing weight distribution across the wheelbase, FC/RC ratio, stack/reach (including spacers, bar height, etc.) to maximize fore/aft stability and cornering grip? I think WC riders already do it, with custom stack heights, eccentric BBs (Bruni), mm perfect stems...
