Yeah right! That said Hope actually did this. They calculated an amortized cost for the carbon bike including development time etc but then after a while they realized they had learnt so much from the project that could be applied to other carbon products and help to spread the sunk costs. So they dropped the price by £1000 (iirc) and gave a rebate to all the original customers! This is very Hope-like. In the Uk there was/is a salary sacrifice scheme you can use for buying a bike and save 25-30%. Hope signed up but it was a lot of...

DH cranks see a TON of shoe rub in that spot so it is there to give a little barrier from the shoes rubbing straight on the carbon arms. Enduro and trail carbon cranks will typically have clear mask on them to accomplish this but DH cranks just seem to get more rub be it BB width, conditions or terrain. Therefore they put some heavier duty protection on there.

9/3/2024 9:55am I've been running the same ethirteen lg1 carbon rims since 2020. I've been smashing them into east coast rocks with no issues. Blown up spokes and punctured tires even through the rim bead but the rims have been fine. Even rode out a very rocky stage with a flat in an enduro race and the rim is totally fine. Just...

8/27/2024 8:28am For those interested, I installed and have been running the Freedom Coast Cycling aftermarket SRAM levers with my Cominion setup for a few weeks and raced with them Sunday. They are a firmer/more solid replacement. They do bring the reach further from the bars and contact adjust unfortunately causes pad rub, still playing around with that part. The install was...

You mean like this? - https://thesuspensionlab.nz/blog/2021/1/31/effects-of-temperature-on-su… I ran those tests about 5 years ago, it just took a while to get round to writing them up. It was mostly comparing different oils to see how much affect they had but overall the changes were pretty minor. I've found on the trail that shocks heat up pretty rapidly to around 20*c (even bouncing around the carpark will warm it up alot) and then starts to taper off and typically reach an equilibrium between 30 and 40 degrees. Through that range the different in damping is negligible. There might be some cases...
