Yeah, why do we need this now again? Between this and the new 157x12 rear axle from Norco/Syntace....everybody please discard all your old frames, forks, and wheels immediately, they have been declared obsolete. Oh and if you are still on a 9sp drivetrain, you need to get rid of that old crap too. For now, you may keep your stems, handlebars, brakes, and grips - but not to worry, R&D have found an additional 30% of stiffness in all of those components as well, so keep some money in the piggy bank for more "upgrading" in the near future. Stay...

On a related note, who knows anything about Dartmoor hubs? Is the 12x150 version any good? They come is this badass green color that would look pretty good on my beast. :-)

Amazing bike skills and style. That part in the woods on the "middle" bike was super sick. I'm not a DJ fan, but Brandon sure has the skills to ride anything. Joy to watch.

Having been on the receiving end of US customs and immigration numerous times (my folks live in in the US, I visit a lot), I can definitely relate. And, having traveled the world, no, they are not as bad in most other places. Having said that, I still love being in the good ole' US of A, I don't let a little border crossing mess with my head....

When all you get for tricks are whips, you know the course is gnarly! I know they were all holding back, but still....you could tell that half the battle is just sticking your line, nevermind the rest of it...it's freakin huge that course. Closing comment from the Obsess vid: "I know what 2 or 3 of the guys are planning...

It's definitely steeper, but he doesn't say by how much - he doesn't give any numbers in this interview. I just threw the 60 in there because you had it in your post and I know he's been experimenting all the way to 58 at times....so I figured OK he's gone to "only" 60 now... Smile
