Brian Cahal also did a followup video where he tried the RR stem reversed (i.e. +15mm rather than -15mm), and said it felt better that way. I can't remember exactly but pretty sure he still washed the front once with it like that. I'm personally of the school of thought where I select stem length based on how it feels for steering speed as opposed to cockpit fit, then adjust bar and stack height to match across my bikes. But then again, I also ride 3 bikes with very similar modern but not crazy reach and CS lengths. I feel...

In the first image that would be correct in a sense. Hard for me to really tell what’s going on with the second one because there seems to be some transparency turned on.

If I understand correctly the difference is just where the brake is mounted. So like mentioned, braking wise, it's a vpp 4-bar vs. A 6-bar and the same comparison would play out in real life too. Pedalling wise both variants are 4-bars.

That was referencing Thibaut Ruffin and his girlfriend

PUT IT IN THE LOUVRE

Can't remember which race, but it was on the WB broadcast for the final when Neko was the color commentary. something to the effect of "wow look at him charge that section, this guy won't take 'no' for an answer!"

Neko called him out on the broadcast, speaking of thinly-veiled

I’m sure I’m not the only one who breathed a sigh of relief when Troy crossed the line green last week when it seemed like the track was getting harder as the race progressed. And while i understand the perspective of no court ruling daprela is responsible means they can’t really stop him from racing. But basically eso has pretended that there are no fairly substantiated allegations from the beginning. And it seems as his results have improved closer to where they were more and more media groups seem to be willing to give him a spotlight without an asterisk...

A few remarks regarding the Diaz video, since he is a suspension service tech, especially for new fork models, all the issue he sees are extrapolated by the fact that customer send him in case of issues, there probably a good amount of new forks in Diaz market that don't have those issues so they don't get sent to him. Same for any other suspension service center with fresh out of the box forks. Also fork alignment work in tandem with the tolerance of the front hub used. Not every front boost hub is 110.00 mm wide. This can have...

I sometimes wonder if being sociopath / borderline psychopath is requirement for success in the custom suspension trade.

Get a broom handle with no broom on it. Hold it vertically with your palm over the top of it, and thrust it downwards into a concrete floor as hard as you can. The broom handle hits the floor, and the high degree of compressive stiffness of the broom handle transmits the impact efficiently into your hand, and now it hurts. Your hand didn't get any closer to the ground than the length of the broom handle because it did not compress, or bend, it just transmitted the force along the length of the handle. Now with the bottom of...

This feels like a discussion with a Flat Earther.

If we’re now moving the discussion on to braking then that’s a completely separate thing and just as we can’t lump all four bars, faux bars, flex stays, etc together; nor can we brake designs. I don’t feel attacked, that’s okay. Trolled maybe. And it’s not a funny way to say anything, it’s first hand experience. I get many queries from riders about the flex stay arrangement of my frames. Folks are rightly or wrongly concerned about flexing elements of their frame. I’m always pleased to explain that the degree of flex is so small that it’s insignificant to the...

Hey @seanfisseli there are already enough negative misconceptions surrounding flex stay suspension systems and (as a guy making them) I’d love to help put those misconceptions to bed. But it’s pretty difficult to show you something that isn’t happening. Can you help me out? The vid you posted shows a lightweight XC bike hucked to flat, I think I see what you do but that isn’t going to result in any meaningful axle travel that would be perceptible to the rider and it only happens when the shock is at full travel under a fairly heavy impact for such a...
