6/18/2015 10:54am This is a good article and a good representation of the value of the Bottomless feature. This should enlighten a lot of folks who feel they can get more from their suspension. I want to add a pro tip: in slide #17 where the rider is using a socket to remove the top cap, that socket has had the chamfer on the inside edge of the socket lip machined off. If you use an off the shelf socket, the chamfer will prevent the top cap's hex from seating deep enough in the socket and top cap will be damage/stripped when...

Thanks, Bturman. That's exactly what should have been in the video. My comment wasn't me needing help, I was just saying I think it would help a ton of riders to know everything you said above, along with the video.

6/17/2015 11:44am I'll chime in for the hell of it. The range of LSC offered on the Pike is somewhat limited. From what I gather the clinic was in air spring tuning more than anything else - as this is a part of the puzzle that most ignore. LSC obviously does play into the equation as you imply. With respect to RS products, I've felt LSC is best to play with after dialing in your preferred spring rate. Again, the tuning range for the spring is rather large, not so much for the damping rate (without reshimming the damper). I've actually started...

I like the way you did this, much more than PinkBike! However, don't you think it's important to explain the relation of low speed compression damping? You just barely hit on it at the very end. To me, you should go just as in depth about LCD as you did the tokens. Most viewers will see this and think it's all about tokens, and not even think to adjust their LCD. Obviously, each case is different, but I think riders need to now the importance and difference of each adjustment. Otherwise, love the way you did this! Adding the video...

I've never been Giant fan.... at all. But that looks pretty promising! However, is the goggle strap keeper really necessary? I would rather see a groove or flatter area than a silly cord.

Greg Minnaar gained a whole lot of points in my book! So many other riders wouldn't have even considered racing.

Because DH riders love riding with tools.... Don't get me wrong, I always have tools on me. But pretty much all of the DH guys I know don't ride with tools, or even a tube (even on their trail bikes). I sure wouldn't make taking it for a rip, though!

"To step up to a more or less comparably spec'd carbon model, check out the Expert Carbon..." More or less? The Expert is a better spec...period. Better brakes, drivetrain, crankset, and frame. Multiple times you claimed this bike comes spec'd with XO1... It comes Spec'd with X1

I agree with Kellen1230... What is the problem? You want a source that shows the RC is the same as the RCT3? Go take them both apart... Damping: They both have the exact same low speed compression adjustment (Different knobs), except the RCT3 has 3 position compression adjustment (open/pedal/lock). In the "open" setting, both damper should behave identically. Compression: the RCT3 is dual air or solo air (optional), and the RC is only Solo air. There's clearly something going on with your fork if you have to run such low pressure in order to get 25% sag (assuming you're measuring...

2/23/2015 12:39pm That's pretty sweet. Good on them for setting out to become more than a tuning company and emerging with their own product. Also, Darren is a pretty good salesman for being a technical guy. I had the pleasure of taking a PUSH Tuning class from Darren years ago and it was pretty enlightening. It was my first real "whoa" moment about suspension setup, maintenance, and function.

would you guys hire a 16 year old whom qualifies? You may want to utilize proper grammar before making that claim.
