Thank you for this. Exactly what I wanted to know. Will be keeping my Dorado for now, but come the next service interval it is time to switch.

F1234K Added a comment about video MTB Suspension - Unsprung Weight Explained
7/13/2020 7:41pm
Nice video. Makes it very clear. I would say though, a cassette and derailleur is probably more like 800g->1kg and the weight of a single speed ring is roughly 40g. Much more weight difference than 500g as mentioned. Plus, to note, the weight of the gearbox is added to the sprung mass so that actually increases for gearbox bikes and so this would also affect the ratio. By my very rough calculations it is closer to a 2% difference in ratio from derailleur based vs gearbox.

F1234K Added a comment about video Are Flat Pedals Less Efficient?

From what I have read in studies so far over the years, flat pedals are either the same or more efficient (when mountain biking). I think there is some misguided opinions on this Just like when high pressures in tyres was thought to be a good thing when mountain biking (because it worked in road biking). In comes Pro Core and then everyone else... The reason low pressure tyres work so well in mountain biking is because it has exactly the conditions that road biking or a static bike do not have. Need a test that is done in the...

Good video. I’ve borrowed my dads ebike a few times and really enjoy it but I do think my regular bike is much better in carrying speed. After this video I’m suspecting some suspension setup changes could solve most of that. Those trails look amazing!

F1234K Added a reply to Best front AND rear tire
3/29/2020 2:12pm For a long time it was Scwalbe Magic Mary for me, both front and rear. 2 reasons, the outstanding grip in all conditions and the Super Gravity casing works really well as a light DH tyre or heavy XC tyre. None of the Maxxiss casings where in the same category for me. Trying a DoubleDown soon to see how it...

The most "Rampage" run ever in my opinion. Got my vote. Looks ever more sick on the helmet cam.

I think most bikes have to low a bottom bracket height for realistic trails that include rocks and roots.

Quick question: can you appreciate the difference with the Hydra hub compared to what you had before while using the Pinion? I have Industry Nine Torch hubs and am thinking of getting Hydra to help with engagement. Also have a Pinion gearbox.

It’s a real shame that they did not test schwalbe procore. You cant claim to be the champion if you haven’t defeated the best!
