It better be stealthy - so I won't have to see it in person.

lots of talk about the bike in our vid here are time stamps 0:00 - Intro / Is He on FOX or RockShox? 3:31 - Any Other Sponsor Changes? 4:21 - Why Didn't He Retire in 2023? 7:55 - Did He Try to Stay with Santa Cruz Syndicate? 10:50 - Norco's Race Engineering Program 13:09 - How Will He Adapt to the Norco Prototype DH Bike? 16:17 - From VPP to High-Pivot to DH Bike 20:20 - Does Suspension Platform Really Matter? 22:30 - The Source - Norco Junior Development Team 25:29 - What If He Doesn't Get Results or...

That thing looks like the north end of a south bound mule.

Do us all a favour and leave Vitalmtb a review somewhere and say there wasn’t enough cars for you… then they can block you too and the rest of us can get back to actual tech rumours. Thanks in advance

Using the longest shock possible will increase the control the damper has over the wheel travel, decrease forces, increase oil volume, decrease fluid pressures, reduce the sensation of any loose bushings/pivots. The biggest drawback is finding enough space to accommodate a long shock, especially on small frames. The theoretical drawback of increased stiction seems to be something of a marketers excuse/justification to me. Forks have 1:1 travel ratios and two huge seals; and though fork stiction is a thing I don’t think people limit their fork travel choices to reduce stiction (though smaller stanchion diameters might better suit lighter riders).

Finally a damper with ball joint instead of plain bushing.

Um, nobody noticed Sram brakes???

@mcfadden999 and anyone else responding to him, guess what? there's an entire forum where you can start a new topic dedicated to one specific thing and you can develop that topic into the minutia it deserves. no more cascade review crap in this thread. hooray for babysitting grown adults in 2024!

Delete your account kook. Sounds like you’re mad you couldn’t use full travel because you ride like a pansy.

We actually blocked you. Because of all the other crap not the thinking something is too progressive. You’re actually the only person we’ve ever blocked. I guess you get some sort of an award or something. Not sure it’s one I’d want…

I literally had to look up the material after listening to the podcast talking about Bruni's Dyneema kit because I had never heard of it. You in the S design department?

What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Based on how you've behaved on this forum so far, it seems like you probably hounded them relentless until they blocked you as they mentioned, deleting your content when they did it. No one cares, you seem like a crazy person at this point with absolutely zero understanding of the problem and have pretty much erased any possibility of anyone taking you seriously. I have zero stake in this, but I've been on this forum long enough to be super annoyed when people like you come in with nonsense and crash the usual happy and relaxed vibe people have built...

That’s because they’re not stupid enough yo be goaded into an argument with a pathetic child. You clearly have an issue with them so man up and deal with it in private.

Youre attacking one of the nicest and most earnest industry commentators on the forum, and complaining when they defend themselves? Cascade are a true treat to have on this forum and provide lots of insights for all of us. If you have an actual issue with a product take it up privately with them, not by passive aggressively snarking on their products. Rumour related, Ride-9 rockymountain was largely useless, most of the adjustments were so damn similar, I would argue you need 4 adjustments at most, long/short CS, and low/high bb/HA adjustment, maybe a progression adjustment too (ignoring that CS...

You seem to be passive aggressively attacking them, no wonder they are defensive. Man up and plainly state your issue or STFU.

This is not a tech rumor so I’m not going to talk about this again. What I will say is we haven’t seen a single case of frame damage due to regular use. Frames are pretty overbuilt. Your wheels are more likely to blow up first. Ask me how I know. Off the top of my head, I can only remember two instances where serious frame damage occurred. One was improper installation and one was incompatible shock. We actually paid for the crash replacement frame for the incompatible shock case because there was a typo on our website that was...

You know the answer to that. Good thing it’s not happening.

Thats sick but I want that fork. To be honest if it worked at 160mm Id take it just for the advantage of having a perfectly aligned stem. I know, first world mtb problems.
