hogfly Added a reply to Pros & Cons of High Pivot or Idler Equipped Bikes

5/23/2022 9:12am

My son went from a Specialized Status to the new GT Force. Quite a difference in bikes. He basically feels that the high pivot is way more planted (duh). At first he felt like he wasn't able to throw it around as well, but as he's gotten more accustomed to the bike (and he's also grown and gotten stronger), he's...

Yep. My son rode his at well over 30 with cushcore in the rear. In this specific terrain, I don't think there was a huge advantage in running lower pressures, and the downside was obvious. He usually runs in low 20s in regular terrain.

This weather is actually my reasoning for considering a move too....and Im in NorCal also. I never understood why people would want to live in SoCal to begin with unless you are into watersports and live coastal or in the southern sierras. Inland empire is a hell hole, so it surprises me not at all that people want to move away from that dumpster fire. @chaseii - I was under the impression that everyone you knew died from vaccine complications? Glad to hear you made some new friends already! I hear Texas is just starting to get really nice this...

Not a team rumor... but the Cannondale setup at the BME pits was pretty impressive. They're sinking some legit money into their Stateside enduro team.

We were out preriding Shepherd Mountain while the Massanutten DH was going on, and I said the same thing. This weekend, a friend of ours raced the Masanutten DH was at Shepherd this weekend racing the Enduro, and he said that Shepherd was chunkier. Craaazy. The place is an absolute bike killer. So many destroyed wheels.

The “weird comment” is coming from a place where people actually promote mountain biking and don’t have to basically dodge law enforcement and local bird watchers to participate in their hobby. I know California is sick and all, but every time I hear about how riders in California have to basically live underground lifestyles, I am thankful that I live...

Super impressive. Bummed what this means for Fuji as a brand, but stoked that Amy has a dedicated and viable brand supporting her.

Oh, yeah. I totally agree with that... but it's also a weird fit for current culture of SoCo. I can see how a lot of those dudes are like 'git me the hell out of here."

2/23/2022 7:28am

Makes total sense. Being a part of the whole motobro big truck culture (no judgement, I'm a southerner) has to be a little weird in a place like Southern California. Montana and Tenner seem like much better fits for someone like Gwin. Also: I imagine that having two houses in Montana and Tenn is way more sustainable as he starts...

Hey thank you guys so much for sharing this, especially with so much going on over the past few months. I know i upset some people by speaking out and advocating for others like me, and I really wasn't sure if that would ruin things when it came to bigger websites like this being willing to feature any of our videos moving forward. Seeing this pop on the homepage was a huge surprise and it not only made me smile but literally brought a few tears to my eyes. I appreciate you guys so much and I am so grateful...

Hey man: Leaving out all the other political stuff, you've been a measured voice of reason within all of this. I don't know you personally, but I've listened to you on several podcasts over the years, and I've always been impressed with what a kind, generous spirit you've maintained as you overcame adversity in your early years. It's no surprise that you're maintaining that same grace in dealing with the current adversity. I'm sending you good thoughts that your body is moving toward healing and that you'll be able to turn this awful experience into one of growth and transformation...

Lummdog Liked a product review Vital Review - GT Force Carbon Pro LE

2/17/2022 12:56pm

GT's all-new high-pivot Force captured our attention long before getting to take it for a spin. The high-pivot suspension and overall aggressive, badass look the bike has screams a damn good time. It is a slack, long-travel 29er with a nice complement of quality parts. Sprinkle in an adjustable chainstay and geometry that leans toward descending, and we smelt a good time was on the way. Highlights Carbon front triangle, alloy rear 29-inch wheels 160mm (6.3-inches) of rear-wheel travel // 170mm (6.7-inches) fork travel High-pivot LTS (linkage tuned suspension design) Internal cable routing High-pivot idler arm BSA 73mm, Threaded bottom...

Didn't Mick "retire" from racing DH this year? It wouldn't have made sense for him to be on UR still anyway, would it?

Allied Cycleworks, known for their high-quality, American-made road and gravel frames, teased the mold for a full suspension MTB frame on their Instagram today. Makes sense, since Peyson Mcelveen just signed with them and needs an MTB to ride. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZPA0OJuHMj/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

A little further away, but you might hit Snake Hollow bike park in St. George. The "Bizet" jump is a pretty "small" step up (by Rampage standards) and another step up after it. First few clips on this Instagram vid are of my kid hitting the two of them when he was 11. The first two clips are of the...
