3 reasons. 1. because 97.5 is a radio station. B. "reverse mullet" is breaking our community apart and we need to come together. III. beavis and butthead would laugh at 69er. if we need to go to court over it, our lawyers said that the "6" could come from "650b" and we'd probably have the case thrown out.

Of course there is marketing spin from both sides. Wavecell is focusing on rotational acceleration and Koroyd is focusing on linear acceleration, both in the context of what causes concussion and brain injury. Which one is most important? Based on what both parties are saying, it appears that that is quite debateable at this point in time, as our knowledge...

yetimike2019 Liked a product review Sb150. Yes please.

Idon’t have time to type up a full review, but I have put about 100 miles on a demo SB 150 in the mountains of Santa Cruz, CA. I have also been on the SB 130 an equal amount of time and I will give thoughts on that bike another time. My experience on the SB 150 has been really fun so far. I have been privileged to demo a lot of bikes and tend to favor long travel bikes for the riding around here. Climbing: This bike climbs well, particularly up long fire roads. It has excellent traction...

Fox Added a comment about video Why Does Loic Bruni's Suspension Work So Well?

As noted, Loic is a wizard of smoothness. He rides like The Alien does- so smooth it doesn’t look like he’s going all that fast and he doesn’t seem to be near the edge of control even though he likely is. Combine that with an obsession to have a perfect setup and you have something unique- a multi time world champ who’s bike appears to work better than others with him on it.

Curious if you or anyone you know who has ridden the evo with a coil on it? I wonder if a nicely tuned damper with a coil around it would take care of the harshness?

Interesting you mention both long shocking it and a coil - that's precisely what I've done. I'm running a 216x63 Vivid R2C Coil, 3mm off set bushing and in the low position on my 275 S3, giving the same "effective position" as the standard shock in the high setting. Stroke is limited to 57mm giving 163mm travel, and I'm on a 500lb Nukeproof SLS spring at 175lbs ride weight. It's night and day different from the standard shock, way more midstroke support, but none of the harshness which many of us found with the standard shock. Maybe it's a coil...

I own both of these bikes right now plus a HTLT. My builds are a little different since I have the SWorks SJ and have put XO1 on the Evo along with SC carbon wheels so take my comments with a grain of salt that it is not an exact comparison. My experience is that the Evo SLAYS steep rocky sections a "mach chicken" with the stock suspension. I ride a lot of these types of trails and the Evo is by far my favorite bike I have ever ridden for those types of trails. I have set PR's on...
