10/5/2023 1:17pm Is the WP Cone not just a larger poppet valve? Spool valve would have a sliding surface across opening to seal it. Spool spool movement is not affected by the fluid flow and pressure. The cone is going to be affected by flow and pressure.

10/3/2023 8:39pm I built a bike with this same pull link back in 2018. The link under the BB takes a beating. Mine acted like a skid plate slider. I will have to take some pics.

10/3/2023 9:53am If Jackson or Finn don't win I really want Loris to win. The Loris win would be to really piss off the Yanks that are taking it personal that he thinks Snowshoe is shit track.

9/29/2023 2:34pm A full Honda factory team again would be cool. Showa suspension and Akebono brakes. Being that they've been there done that for DH....an E-EDR team would be something for them. I could see them selling the concept of development of an ebike drive unit to go racing with to top management. An e-cvt gearbox ebike.

9/18/2023 9:38am MTBR forums are HUGE compared to a what's happening here on Vital. Every mtb niche imaginable is well covered over there. The main page content has always been crap, but there is a vast wealth of knowledge buried in the forums.

9/15/2023 12:47pm Can someone remind me what happened to the Vital slideshows with Sven Martin? Who was funding these and why did they stop?

9/13/2023 2:32pm The carbon Fluid slots into replace the Optic. But don't worry if you love the current Optic and just want another one of them I'd guess they have stock of them to keep on selling. Everyone has overstock to sell.

8/24/2023 1:37pm Fox Factory owns Race Face...so adding shoes to the Race Face clothing kinda makes sense.

7/10/2023 11:04am Regarding Whistler and WC DH, regardless of how big Crankworx is they need to jump through all the UCI hoops to even apply for a WC level event. This includes hosting regional, provincial, and national level UCI sanctioned events. WBP has been ticking off these boxes over the last number of years. In June they did a Canada Cup XC...

6/27/2023 9:54am So run an Ohlins? Their 3 chamber air allows you to adjust the end stroke ramp. Not getting full travel? Back off the end stroke ramp air pressure. Need more bottom out support? Add air. They have a three click HCS system that doesn't use spring pre-load on the shim stack (they use an oval shim). Do you like very...

6/20/2023 12:18pm The pictures of the bike without the data acquisition on it don't have that grey wire. Pull up shots of the old frame with the data system on it and you can see the wire going to a sensor in the rear brake mount adapter.

6/14/2023 12:00pm Just an awesome looking bike. With the idler that high it's going to have really low anti-squat.

Going down the rabbit hole ofwild speculations: re-using (big IF) may still not offset the impact of producing it (I guess regular tape does not require much energy to make?). BTW, I like the idea of just having poles to mark the track , as it will be way easier to get off track during practice. However, the pads are there just for looks and might indeed prove dangerous if used as a track markers due to them being at pedal-strike height (they are also soft-ish, so they can grab the pedal).
