South Western Colorado. Maybe 10 days of "yellow AQI" air since May, and only 2 days that I wouldn't ride. And more rain here just over the summer than our house in Northern Ca saw all last year!

California, a nice place to visit...when it's not burning...which is never. After mutliple years of red flag fire warnings all the way into December, being evacuated for 2 weeks, and having crappy air most of the summer/fall, had to pull the plug and move.

YES! Way to make useful products PNW, you guys rock. Now only if only it wasn't priced the same as a 180mm OneUp....

8/29/2021 5:20am You should change the tilte to; "Who cares how much noise the shock makes, it kicks ass!" :0 I love my noisy shock, best coil I've ever had.

El Spruce-ador Added a reply to Gwin not representing US at World Championships? (WTF?)
8/7/2021 3:16pm AG ain't no Eli Tomac, Eli has been winning races lately. Gwin has been as flaccid as an 80 year old whose blue pill bottle is empty. If Gwin gets someone bumped from the World's team, it will be exciting see his mid pack finish.

7/12/2021 2:11pm Wow, those Intense DH bikes must really be subpar. Sucking the speed right out of some fast guys! Even more apparent on the WC stage.

A BSA BB can be cross threaded by a blind monkey high on crack without any grease and still not creak, I just might be permanent. PF BB's creak when you look at them.

El Spruce-ador Added a reply to Do you NEED to be a good moto rider to be a great DH rider?
6/6/2021 10:06pm With the increased speeds you see on the dirt bike (on a track especially), come much bigger injures. Motos are for sure fun, and increase the fitness & skill level on a bike, but stick to trails if you wanna at least try to stay in one piece. Three people I know have died on moto tracks within the last...

" Hammering Hank" has been a bad ass since day one. My first introduction to Henry was when he was 13/14 and we met up for an early season North Yuba/Hall's Ranch/Fiddle Creek ride. 5 minutes in he lost 3 bolts from the granny gear and had to take it off. This was way before big ass rear cogs were around, and he procedded to crush out both North Yuba and Halls Ranch turning a 32/32. *ucking monster, glad he's still making D'Ville proud.

If Shimano filed a patent on it, then it is now guaranteed to never be made. That's how they roll....and control the market.

C'mon, that might provide valuable information and could be devoid of the "free stuff shipped to us-itus" that often inflates reviews. It would also eliminate the possibility of the mfg sending "special" product that they have taken apart and given the factory treatment before sending so it doesn't shit the bed on day one like the true consumer experiences. You crazy....

Well it looks like only the Euros are allowed... "Local laws prohibit residents of US, Canada and Japan from investing through Crowdcube's platform." Doesn't look like they need our help with over $1,000,000 USD already plunked down.

Awesome use of additive technology! They need a DIY version; just the lugs/tubes/epoxy and poof, a titanium & carbon trail killer you can make in the bong shed!

This shock is insane! You name it, I've run it. Fox, RS, X-Fusion, Cane Creek, Ohlins, DVO, Marz, even back to the Stratos days. This is truly the pinnacle of coil performance. Makes the blown out, over used, brake bump filled COVID trails feel like a sidewalk. $1000 isn't even bad considering it's a custom tune and includes two lightweight coils. Only problem is you will only last a few weeks before needing a coil in the front, SMASHPOT to the rescue.

Fox hooks it up for the big boys! I helped with some Fox shock "tuning" for a very small brand here in Santa Cruz. Fox provided one tech, two different shocks, some volume spacers and a pickup for shuttling :0 No matter how much testing is done, it's always a compromise and never even close to something set for your weight and riding style. Vorsprung, PUSH, Dirt labs, etc all exist and are very busy for a reason.
