Oh yeah one other thing - I described the base valve as too "soft", when actually the shims are probably quite stiff, hence the large change in force available, its just they add too much extra free bleed or bypass when you open the LSC dial. Also one small note about reading dyno graphs - the sharp bends in the curves look like valves open at a very distinct point, when actually thats just a PVP (peak velocity plot) graph which runs several speeds and only takes the peaks to make a single straight line. So the RS graph looks...

I think this is a great valid question. Here's my two cents on how to make a bike flickable/playful/poppy/unstable (four words that mean basically the same thing in MT : 1. Shorter chainstays. This has been beaten to death. 2. Higher BB. As others have said, your bike is more stable front to back when your feet are below the axles, and less stable when your feet are above them. 3. Smaller wheels. A mullet is more "flickable" than a 29" bike, and a dual 650 bike is going to be more unstable than a mullet bike. 26" bikes are king...

🤔 why is everything so expensive now, and why did it appear to start in 1971? 🤔 If only there was a website dedicated to this

Went to La Thuile and MSA last year. Both were ticketed for just around the finish line and of course you’ll need to a ticket if you want to take the gondola but you could just walk up and watch trackside. For MSA it was tix below the finish line, from the finish line up was free.

My guy, I think it's gonna happen before 2045.

Rock shox enters the chat. All you need is an adaptor (it's cheap) and a shock pump. They say it's perfectly fine to pump it up with ambient air. Fox is complicating things needlessly. But their products are rife with complications and proprietary tooling that changes every generation. About 50 to 100 euros worth of tooling will cover at least 2 generations of RS products service procedures. The Vivid is a bit special, but the super deluxe series and the forks are a joy to work on. You don't need special clamps as parts have flats machined into them so...

Someone just posted in the RAAW thread on PB. I'm guessing this is just going to be a US issue due to a certain level of... uncertainty... these days? They got this email last night. " Hi xxxxx, First of all, we would like to thank you for your order and we're happy you've chosen to ride a RAAW in the future. Unfortunately, we need to inform you about a short-notice change in the shipping process that affects your DHL shipment, which has already been dispatched. DHL has recently changed its customs clearance procedure for shipments to the USA. However...

“happy” 😩 I honestly thought he got a flat near the start of the last split, you could hear him make some groan noise on the live feed. Apparently that was just his turbos spooling up
