Name goes back some 15-20 years ago when first proper tubeless components were introduced (tubeless ready tires, tubeless wheelsets like mavic demax, which are not drilled throught etc) but a lot of us scrubs couldnt afford those and sealants were not as good as they are today so if not using proper parts the setup most likely wouldnt hold air and a ghetto setup was invented by cutting a 20" innertube and streching it over a rim and then mounting a tire, so the cut innertube would rest between the tire and the rim effectively sealing it. Combined with the...

BigLinkage in here trying to sell their leverage rate conspiracies.

Galfer.

I’m also bringing my DH bike and definitely plan on getting out to mountain creek and thunder mountain. I just gotta make sure i get at least one good training weekend in so i don’t smoke myself at downieville.

Port jervis is a good time. Not down country at all. But mt creek is an absolute blast and a must stop if you are in nyc imo.

This (and the Pheonix's) linkage is slightly different than the DW6 on Atherton/Robot bikes. It is missing the chainstay pivot; it's more of a flex-stay DW6. Dave Weagle has himself jokingly referred to it as "DW5" or "DWF6".

If only someone made a linkage that allowed a longer shock to to be run on the Levo and it yielded 170 mm of travel. That would be wild.

newer slash is 60.

The one on the left has a removeable battery and the one of the right a fixed battery. Both are 150mm rear wheel travel and most likely share identicle geo AFAIK.

lol it's a pivot

You can - depends on your desire to order small parts and do disassembly and reassembly. The kits will become available and the tech can be applied. You can look up parts kits on the tech page, though MY27 won't appear for another few weeks: tech.ridefox.com

Asa injury?

On a short chainstay bike you get a shorter wheelbase for the same cockpit size and head angle, so it's less stable and cuts a shorter turn. Your feet are closer to the rear wheel so it's easier to feel where it is. It's easier to push in and overwhelm just the rear tire, because when you push with your feet that's where the weight goes. You can turn with your feet more. You don't need to pull as hard on the bars to transfer weight or lift the front. That's what flickable means, and that's what people generally like...

It's crazy how much that tread pattern reminds me of a Kenda Nevegal.

So this is kind of hilarious to me because forbidden just ships a pile of parts along with a frame that isn't even put together. Having built/QC checked a lot of bikes from Transition, Ibis, Cannondale, Orbea, and Forbidden I can honestly say that the QC on the Forbidden frames are absolutely stellar, on par with Ibis carbon (Ibis alloy leaves a lot to be desired). Unfortunately, with bike brands that ship just frame and parts end up leaving a lot of their bikes "QC" impression on the skills of the builder building the bike. If your headset creeks, or...

Solid 1 week till this rumor ends up on Pinkbike.

Intend and MRP, Boss is technically still making mtb stuff too. Formula maybe? I wouldn't count Manitou but I do count cane Creek.
