I have been running a single STFU style chain slap device and feel it makes a difference. There are files of a cloned version on Printable to 3d print your own, I have printed a couple of them with TPU. Also missing on your list is the Tairin Wheels clutch hubs, these fully disengage the pawls for a free floating effect and have 5.5 degree of engagement.

8/2/2024 12:21pm Most of the 31.6mm and 34.9mm droppers are just a 30.9mm dropper with a thicker lower tube. The internals and the upper tube (parts that slides upy downy) are unchanged. The world would be just fine with only a 30.9mm dropper. Light enough for XC/gravel/road and yet still strong and stiff enough for trail/enduro/ebike.

7/24/2024 5:00pm Been there done that. My first full suspension frame I built back in 2014 I used electrical tape for the cables on the front triangle. The frame did last year I just had zipties. We need someone to commit to just electrical taping on cables on a new S-Works Stumpy.

7/24/2024 4:23pm What we really need is someone to buy a wireless frame and a Transmission drivetrain then mod it all to run on cables. External glued on cable guides. Remove the Transmission tiny motors and jb weld in some bits n bobs to have it cable actuated. Just a right ugly hack with horrible cable routing and all.

7/3/2024 5:37pm At this point I think Loic's mechanic is just finding new ways to troll us bike nerds.

7/3/2024 10:59am The fact they spec their most aggressive model with the Ohlins coil and 38 tells you it will ride just fine with a properly tuned shock with enough damping.

7/2/2024 2:48pm SpecialEd - we created this new shock blah blah blah Ohlins - Uh we can just provide you with a progressive damper tune to do the same thing. SpecialEd - We just won't mention that.

6/24/2024 11:00am I ran a set of Xynotal from and back in DH casing for the Mt. 7 Psychosis DH this past weekend and really happy with them. Coming from North Van where we usually run soft sticky tires for wet roots I went with the Xynotal in soft as a dry conditions tire. They roll fast and don't feel like a...

I sometimes wonder what makes you get up in the morning and say „I’m going to be the personification of the cliche creepy shitstain on humanity today“ but then again I probably don’t want to know

6/11/2024 3:02pm It makes sense for local beer league where people have other commitments in life, but not for Pros. Consistency maters. What might be more interesting is if there was more money at stake for teams to collect points like the F1 Constructors Standings and cash paid out for better standings. Teams are two men, one women, one jr men, one...

6/11/2024 1:51pm Would love to see the Sleeper edits mashed up Misspent Summer interviews that Sven does.

6/10/2024 8:23pm I don't think there is too much sharing going on between Finn and Loic these days. Sven asks Finn if Loic was driving him beta after missing Qualifications and Semis. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8AXbeps4sa/?igsh=MWFicG9qdXZuM2szbw== Finn has also only been on the electric damper for 3 months. How many seasons now has Loic had a cover over his shock? I do find it odd...

6/10/2024 11:55am Has anyone ridden the new Michelin DH16? Sounds like the updated casing is a bit lighter on the new DH tires.

6/7/2024 3:34pm The Cotic built frame used 38.1 mm of tubes for tt/st/dt. The dt being the same one they used on their Rocket Max. This new front end was built by Adam Prosise (formerly worked for Reeb now building stuff out of his own shop under Prosise Metal Works). I would guess that he used the Velospec 44.5mm tube with a...
