These videos are so good. We're so spoiled. Best WC coverage by far because it really feels like I'm watching trackside.

I'd say it's a 'deal with it' situation... The swing link gives you a lot of pad movement and a lot of power. You're fairly limited in how much either you can get from your finger (as in lots of power, no pad clearance or lots of pad clearance, no power), unless you move that around a bit, which is what the swing link does. I can go all the way to 11 with the nerdiness, but I intentionally held back. If you want the 11, just say so. Is the short lever throw personal preference or a necessity because...

Here's a weird idea to give the Codes more power and less arm pump... Run the factory bleed??? If you run the pads closer to the rotor by adding oil through the bleeding edge (making them 'touchier through less pad clearance, same goes for a skinnier bleed block), you're also out of whack on the swing link leverage characteristic. Think of it like a suspension leverage ratio characteristics (because it's basically the same) - you never get to the sweet bottomless feel of the progressive end stroke, you always run in the weird beginning stroke charactristic. Bleed them like they...

I got some of these valves with a Newmen wheelset. Don’t recommend them at all. They clog and make inflating really hard. And because of this flap you cannot use a tire pressure gauge anymore, big drawback for me The only stuff I still use and like is the syringe to fill sealant.

Maybe the feel from the stock kinematic is more important than travel?

Hey @martycrosley the new versions of EXO+ don't list the TPI information underneath the size and max pressure. The old version says 120 TPI under the size and max pressure.

Would like to see these tested at a more common PSI. 26/27 on a 29er is pretty high compared to what most average consumers are using. How about 22/23 to see if the durability claims hold up?

Wish they'd make EXO+ in dual compound. 3C dies instantly on back tires in dry places.

Nope. Riders have been using the DHR II as a front since it came out. It has better braking than a DHF which is desirable for a lot of tracks. Horses for courses and personal preference and all that.

I guess it's handy for dealers that they didn't change the branding or make the new ones identifiable in any way.

Would love to see an option to buy just the bottom piece eventually! It'd be nice to have the option to use the base with a different 31.8 stem.

The Aimy is one of those products that makes you smack your forehead and ask “Why the fuck didn’t I think of that!” Well done, bikeyoke! Shitting on greenwashing was an excellent touch, too

Without having to heavily modify DH courses for camera access, I think it’s hard to improve on the red bull coverage at this point. All along I would have gladly paid $50 a season for expanded coverage (woulda been nice to see full runs when a mod pack rider lays down a heater, for example). Warner and Eliot Jackson were starting to work together quite well, with Eliot’s technical knowledge and Rob being Rob. If Discovery can actually bring in a larger audience, well, hopefully that works well for the riders. Keep hopes high and expectations low. It’s been a...

We all eat, breath, drink, some sort of "poison" knowingly or unknowingly all the time I get sick of hearing it every time energy drinks are mentioned, I wonder how many people that make "just drink water" comments are straightedges themselves. Most of that type say RedBull is poison, so is beer, soda, coffee, and Flint water. RB sells a product you can buy it or not, don't want a RB don't have one. Yes water is bette for you but, Water tv has really shitty coverage of DH, Rally, Dakar, or other fringe sports I would rather watch than...

Your arguments make little sense. Red Bull drink is marketed as a consume in moderation product, Coca-Cola is certainly not and the sugar and caffeine differences per serving are of negligible difference. I'm not sure what questions you have about Red Bull's "money flow" but the drinks company is essentially a marketing company and off-shoots like Red Bull Media House (who do WC coverage) are, like their F1 teams, a part of their diversification away from beverages only. As for POV footage from WC races, any rider can run a camera in finals if they sign waiver and they can...

I really hope DH will never become part of Olympics. What they did with climbing was a piece of s***.
