4/16/2025 4:05pm Banshee Titan frames are going for cheap right now, a large gets you to a 1.77 ratio with the long dropouts. Maybe worth trying for someone really wanting to experiment. Seatpost insertion isn't great, but that's my only complaint with mine

4/15/2025 8:29pm Finally got a chance to try the Vee Attack HPL on the front and really liked it on hard pack bike park style trails. GXE casing felt nicely damped and held up great in the berms. Was hero dirt so dunno how it will feel when the trails dry out, but worth a try at 70 usd and free shipping

6/29/2024 8:35pm Just had my first ride on the MRP Lift in a Zeb and I agree with ebruner, I massively prefer it to the Charger 2.1 or 3, and Grip2 VVC.

6/29/2023 3:34pm I gave up on using sag as a reference on forks after I measured it 4 times in a row and got a different number every time. I suppose you could average a bunch of measurements but I still don't trust that sag is consistent enough to use as an indicator. I start at what the mfg recommends for my...
BrakeJack Added a reply to Tell me why headset cable routing is a good idea
6/5/2022 6:19pm Headset cable routing is a good idea because when I see that I instantly know I don't need to look at geometry or build specs or anything to know I will never buy that bike, big time saver. It's like Amazon's one click buy in reverse.
