Unless it's the wheelbase that's around 50mm longer, if they slackened it out by 2 degrees and maintained the same reach it would account for a considerable portion of that 50mm. Also worth bearing in mind is when they overforked the stock 290 frame it would have effectively shortened the reach a bit along with a few other bits like the chainstays(only a tiny amount really).

When I heard La Bresse was on the calendar I got pretty excited especially with the track that was raced in 2011. There’s some nice flowing corners on this but I’m left a little disappointed as it doesn’t come close in terms of the old beast.

I'm of the same view about 29er downhill bikes and rider height. The main issue for shorter riders is tyre to butt clearance, whilst ok on trail bikes it becomes a problem on the downhill bikes due to the extra 40-50mm travel. The issue when going from a 27.5 downhill bike is not only does the wheel size get bigger, there is also increased bottom bracket drop which sits the rider lower in relation to the axles further reducing clearance. I am impressed with what you guys have come up with, it is a very clean looking bike and good...

According to my digital hanging scales that's the weight but it doesn't feel heavy to ride as all the weight is in the shimano alfine gear hub right in the centre of the bike with no weight like the derailleur or cassette to have a detrimental effect on the suspensions performance.

He said that he noticed extra flex, which I think made him subconciously ride stiffer or hold on tighter which would make a big difference in arm pump.

I love how most all bike reviewers say to go Wide Wide Wide, even changing out bars on test bikes, yet so many pro riders run right about 740-750 on trail bikes.

Millennium Productions Liked a product review Best triple crown fork out there-hands down!

5/12/2015 10:21am

You've all read the reviews, and know the specifics on how the internals work exactly, but what's arguably most important is how it rides. Unlike other traditional forks that have predictable characteristics based on specific settings, the Dorado operates with a dynamic feel that, in a word, just "Does"... It doesn't take precise adjusting to get the fork to provide excellent feedback, it is a very forgiving fork that has to be exceptionally far from the correct settings, (For rider weight and terrain), to not be likable. No other fork has come close, in our years of experience. Now, that...

If you look at this picture you can see there are 2 notches the one to the left is 175mm travel and the right 203mm, what you can't see is another 2 notches hidden under the brass nut and the black fitting. Mine had the ring where it's located in that picture but I moved it to the one under the brass nut which increased the axle to crown length roughly making the lowest point the crown can be dropped same as the original highest point without affecting the travel according to my measurements. You must be running the...

In relation to the wallowy feel for heavier or faster riders I'd reccomend upping the oil from 5wt to 7.5wt. The forks stay up in the travel more with the heavier oil and eliminate that issue completely.

I also own Dorados (pro model) and have been very happy them over the last 2 and a half years. You can adjust the axle to crown length internally (2 long travel positions and 2 short travel settings 175mm I think), mine were on the short side initially so I raised them, yours may well be in the longest already. Are you running 35mm bars as I'd say they're a no go on the dorados. I'm currently on a 45mm stem with no issues. I've had good reliability in general but there's a few things that you may need to...
