jcook Added a reply to How Much Reach is Too Much Reach?
11/20/2017 6:51pm I'm 6'2 and am riding an 2017 XL Banshee Rune (480mm reach), and I'd never go back to anything shorter. I did hop on a 2016 or 2017 Kona Process with a 515mm reach, and I'll admit that felt a bit too big for anything but a straight line It's interesting to see very little discussion about the ratio of...

jcook Added a reply to Strava Shows Their Multi-Discipline Global Heat Map
11/1/2017 2:09pm Their willingness to share usage data with advocacy groups to support funding initiatives for new trails and maintenance is commendable. I'm curious if that heatmap includes rides that were marked as private. If the trail builder is good about enforcing a no-strava rule on secret trails when riding it with friends, or at least a no-public strava rule, then it...

How does the footage look when you're riding down some serious chunk? That trail at Duthie isn't quite WC rock gardens. Great angle, but I'm wondering if you could put a one-axis gimbal on there to keep the camera focused forward / level through pumps / manuals

Comparing boost spacing to e-bikes on hard fought trails in the US is far from the same arguement

jcook Added a reply to Should There Be a 29er DH Class and 27.5 DH Class at World Cups?
4/28/2017 1:24pm [sigh] Your comprehension of physics made me join this forum. Look up rotational moments of inertia. Assuming the 29er tires and rims weigh the exact same as the equivalent 27.5 tires, if you took a 29er and a 27.5" DH bike that also weighed the exact same and let them both roll down a hill, the 27.5" bike would accelerate...
