There is a hole in the lineup though when it comes to radial Schwalbes. The Albert is a killer hardpack/ loose over hardpack rear tire on an Enduro or aggressive e-bike. It even makes an impressive front TRAIL bike tire in hardpack. It also wears really well. But the Albert was fully inadequate for my e-bike up front. The MM Radial is very, very good, but it's still too much a loam dirt type tread pattern for aggressive use up front in hardpack & loose over hardpack. It skates around unpredictably and folds over at times. Schwalbe needs an Assagai/...

i'm sure you'll love them, give them a couple rides to find the pressures

Good call on the tape to keep an eye on things. The boys at the shop got a little creative and I think we managed to figure something out. Ultimately, the zip ties along the chainstays are a little looser and we've got a bit of extra line routed by the BB to allow a bit of movement. I'll have to keep an eye out to see if rubbing becomes an issue. All that being said, made it out for another ride yesterday afternoon. The GR4's feel amazing. I love the adjustability in the levers. The trail I rode is...

Yikes. That's just how the Madonna is designed unfortunately. You have to remove the shock and cycle the linkage to make sure it doesn't tug on the rear brake line under hard compression. RAAW build video shows this pretty well. I measured 3 times before finalizing the position and also used electrical tape to make sure the hose doesn't creep back and forth as the linkage cycles over time.

Don’t remember off the top of my head since that was a while ago. It was a fair but though. Only possible with a stoppie on pavement or just squeezing the levers hard just because. Although I do remember that 3500 psi was not as much as what was possible just squeezing the levers as hard as you could. If I remember right 0-1000psi was the real world range.

I have tested stainless castellated pistons with a 1.5mm wall thickness back to back with phenolic. If your goal is to insulate the calipers from heat, the phenolic is better. No contest. Pretty much instantly 10% lower caliper temp in comparison. From a manufacturing standpoint, stainless is easier to deal with. All you need is a mill or lathe and you’re good to go. Phenolic pistons have additives to increase max temp and strength. They are compression molded and then ground to their final OD. Brake pressures can get quite high. I’ve seen 3500psi from a code lever. That’s a...

Scrap all the rest of the team rumours, this is the only one that matters. Need to get Gofundme together to buy the rights and launch the team.

You’re both welcome to leave at any time, nobody is keeping you here.

i think it's time that you guys start a new dedicated "i hate BK" thread. would spare us all of that nonsense, thx

I get what you're saying but... Has Pivot EVER used rock shox suspension?

Thats not a trunnion shock so it’s probably 230xwhatever

The Pivot phoenix is still DW6 just with a flex stay. Functionally very sim lar to the Atherton gearbox DH bike as well.

The tube profiles look like classic Intense. Everything else looks wrong but they have thrown the rulebook out the window recently. What’s the sticker on the inside of the chainstay?

Agreed. Them just releasing a new firebird last year and discussing why they didn’t go with the 2 chain layout in the press. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

Is it even a pivot prototype? The links and hardware look all wrong to me. Who else does DW work with? Is it a DaVinci or something ?
