Linkage forks will never work. They look stupid and can’t be made cheap or light. I’ve been drinking come at me haha

I heard it's increasing to 40 for the men.

Straight to elites. Like the old days.

" Three weeks after Strava filed a patent-infringement case against Garmin, stating the latter's segments and heatmaps features violate an agreement between the two companies, Strava has officially dropped its lawsuit against Garmin." The storm in the heatmap is over it seems.

They didn't dimension the other lip... it could be 6.5 mm wide. But not making dumb machine shop assumptions, it's approximately 36.5 mm wide on account of that 3.5 mm dimension actually being at a slight angle. I took the profile and traced it on my computer really quick. Going off the 30 mm dimension being correct, all the other dimensions are quite close to their callout. That's some next level rounding or just straight up making it up.

Well that math doesn't instill much confidence. 37mm must round up to 40mm...

Easily mistaken for the real thing.

enough product talk in team rumors.

Regardless of what any of our opinions are on the Nine One, I want to say thanks for being so involved in this thread and wanting to communicate clearly and directly. Direct and public communication between customers and the head of a suspension company is nearly unheard of, so it's appreciated! Thanks, Darren.

My responses are out of concern for a rider who spent what I consider to be a large amount of money with my company, and not being happy with the results. That's not acceptable to me. It doesn't matter where the customer bought our product; I only ask as it helps with context. In the case of my first post, the rider was trying someone else's fork, so there's no more than I could offer. In regard to the post that you linked...something about the original fork that Skunk Works received just seemed off, and we wanted a longer look...

The Monday Morning Quarterback session has become as much a part of Red Bull Rampage as the event itself. It’s the collective catharsis we all need after something that feels less like a sports competition and more like modern-day gladiators in the desert. We’ll justify it, theorize ways to make it safer, and question the ethics, but the event will (probably) keep going. As long as the athletes want to ride, the fans want to watch, and Red Bull is willing to provide the infrastructure/distribution, it’ll continue. And deep down, we all know what’s likely to happen someday. Like @Buckets...

Hi all, I'm the 'Gosling' being referenced in the Bikeradar article. I had meetings in Les gets with five teams, YT being one and I'll start by saying that Gunnar Franke (Team Manager) is one of the best guys in the pits running a great team with awesome riders and staff. However we (Nukeproof) don't have the budget to go from 'no team' to one of the best, and highest budget teams in the pits when today we are not even selling any bikes. I also feel that we are not the type of brand that wants or needs one...

It was the thickest sarcasm I could lay down

Respectfully, it's more accurate to say " Pro tip, your super enduro will absolutely be acceptable for DH trails." No matter how good long travel single crown bikes are these days, there's still no replacement for displacement.

Short answer is I don't know. David wasn't sure (his fork) nor was I. We both thought it was 52mm but I was able to compare to a friend's who is in fact 52 and the crowns were different, so now I'm thinking 48, which jives with the turning radius being so...bad. As to if I noticed the answer is "not really". There was already a lot of change happening, so I'd be lying if I said I could feel a few mms of offset change (assuming its 48). That said, I'm sure if I had many crowns to test...

The head angle in the low position was actually a closer to 64 with the crowns low enough to be close to stock BB height and a 29er wheel. At the end of the season I pulled the angle set out to try it at 63 since it’s a park bike. Keeping the angle set as it could go back in but will keep trying it with the stock headset for now. For a 27.5 front I’d say you’re good on the stock headset and just run the crowns high. I also ended up liking the high position better for...

The forum has spoken.. Dak truly has an international fan base of at least 1 person in many countries.. Your loss, Mondraker. You had a global star that represents the hard working people of the world and you dropped him.. So, besides a bike and sealant sponsor, we need to find Dak some outside the industry money.. I'm thinking he could bank with a good hair product care deal.. But, in all seriousness, I hope Dak finds a good deal for next season.
