Erotomania90 Added a comment about press release The All-New 2020 Rocky Mountain Slayer Unveiled

That may change with the new slayer though. I wouldn't call it a freeride bike, it looks to be as capable as any other enduro rig.

Erotomania90 Added a reply to Discussion: Fork Damping vs Spring Rate
7/24/2019 10:21am 160lbs 180mm travel. No spacers 65psi 10 lsc, 14 hsc, 6 out on both rebounds. If it gets steep I'll add a couple lsc. If its fast with big hits I'll add 1-2 hsc. So yeah the base settings aren't too far off for pressure and rebound. If my local trails were faster and steeper I would probably run 68-70...
Erotomania90 Added a reply to Discussion: Fork Damping vs Spring Rate
7/23/2019 11:30am I think the spring is the most important factor. If you try to compensate for the spring with compression, the bike just feels wrong. Damper tuning usually boils down to front and rear balance for me. I think a lot of Loris' comments about the other guys may reflect more on different suspension designs more so than tuning. Loic has...

5/22/2019 11:10am Exactly, I’d be willing to bet most of us watched the clip to make sure Aaron’s foot was still attached, not to hate on e13.

This is such an important point. We have all these communication channels today, but sometimes it is better to not use them. Santa Cruz have not jumped on twitter claiming how Marshy was experimenting with frame flex on that particular frame and had made cuts in the downtube and toptube the night before. They accepted that stuff breaks on the top level of racing. Especially when smashed into a post. Even if there´s a perfect excuse, people won´t ever know if it´s the truth and there are too many companies out there using these lame prototype/pre production excuses on a...

Interesting to compare how differently things were handled between breaking something relatively small like a crank in this case to when a rival team's leading man smashed a frame in half.

5/21/2019 3:54pm I’d rather you lied to us and not publicly pointed your finger at John. It doesn’t have to be anyone’s fault, it’s just part of racing @ the top level. The End.

5/21/2019 8:13am I’m more upset he threw John Hall under the bus. The man is an absolute perfectionist, and there is no way a 3 year old defective part was used on a brand new build. We all know it was a squeaky clean brand new crank provided by ethirteen. Broken parts are a part of racing, call it that and move...

Erotomania90 Added a comment about feature Aaron Gwin Still Undecided on Bike Size for the Maribor World Cup
4/24/2019 1:18pm
I don’t think Gwin is willing to admit he doesn’t feel right on a longer wheelbase 29” bike. He looks far more dialed on the m29 than he did on the YT 29, but frame size seems like a step one off season thing, not pre-race. Just seems a little unlike Gwin, he usually knows what he wants and makes very little changes.

4/23/2019 8:00pm Cannondale should have made a leaf spring setup with this arrangement.

1/16/2019 5:18pm I wonder if the frame design has anything to do with the switch to fox suspension.

Every big hit just sends the front wheel into the air. It only keeps the front tire planted on small bumps. I’ll pass on this one.

12/26/2018 3:20pm Sram and Shimano aren’t engineering much, just modifying 70+ yr old technology and consuming the market. We are talking 2020 here, I think it’s time we had a drivetrain designed this century.
Erotomania90 Added a reply to 2020 Bike Wants
12/26/2018 12:41pm I don’t think current derailleur drivetrains have killed the gearbox at all. The industry just needs to support them more, and then the designs will improve. Gear range has no appeal to me, I could(and still may) go back to a 11-36 1x10spd and be just fine. The gearbox appeals to me because all that drivetrain weight is where it...
