TEAMROBOT Liked a comment about Feature TECH TALK: Air Shocks Versus Coil Shocks, What's Better?
10/14/2017 8:52pm
I don't understand. If the adiabatic process occurs at high shaft speeds, why would that affect a low shaft speed moment like pushing into a jump face? By poppy I assume we're talking about jumping. Similarly, small bump impacts are high shaft speed moments, so by this same process wouldn't an air shock always be rougher on small bumps? Not saying they're wrong, and it sounds like their blind testing indicates riders can always tell a difference between air and coil. Just saying it doesn't make sense. Maybe pushing into a lip is a high shaft speed moment?

56 mm offset is mentioned as typical, that seems like more than any fork out there. Is 56 ideal for 29" wheels and a long slack setup? I've yet to hear the numbers for a Fox 49 or a 29" boxxer. 51 is the current norm for long travel 29er forks and 27.5 Fox 40. Can you confirm?

Krispy Added a reply to Yoann Barelli's Brake Lever Position
2/26/2016 8:11pm My wrists can't even bend like that any more! On a moto I wrap my left finger all the way around the lever since on is a clutch after all. The other side has a throttle, its easier to reach the lever when it's high. The lever s also need to fit behind hand guards. Bars are also much higher...
Krispy Added a comment about video Linkage Analysis - Santa Cruz V10c vs. Pivot Phoenix Carbon
2/19/2016 2:43pm
These are my two favorite DH bikes and I sell both! It should be said that under braking the V 10 looks similar to the Phoenix but that is at sag. deeper in the travel the suspension becomes more active. This allows the bike to squat some and remain stable, but then still track well when deeper in the travel. Aside from the V 10, the Devinci Wilson does this in a similar way with the inverted Split Pivot design. I usually like progressive bikes, the new generation shocks that employ an Ohlins style damper aren't progressive so the bike...

Holy shit! The good old days of free riding the rock! I was on an Armageddon, single shock, 11" travel BTW. Still got seat buzz even with 24's so I never switched to the Apocalypse.

So is the linkage longer or what? That would change up a whole mess of things!

Look at that lower link- that's nothing like SC has done before. That's a lot of work for a one off bike! Quite different wheelpath and shock rate just for a slope bike. Cool stuff.

Looks like the pad opening is larger, the pads are a little tricky to get to fit in just right sometimes. That could help with cooling and mud as well. Separate bolt for the hose too, might add stiffness with a 3rd bolt.

bturman Liked a product review Tested: DVO Suspension Diamond Fork
9/24/2014 12:40pm
Review by Brandon Turman // Photos by Brandon Turman and Dave Trumpore We caught a glimpse of DVO Suspension’s Diamond fork nearly two years ago in prototype form. Since that time the company has been tweaking and tuning their first single crown fork, and they’ve been very open about the entire development process. For those biding their time, the wait is over and the fork is now available. Like the Emerald DH fork that came before it, the Diamond makes use of DVO’s Off The Top (OTT) external negative spring adjustment and has an easily removable and tunable compression loader...

I got in a lunch ride at Yeti 2 days ago and had similar impression of the bike. Extremely smooth, no harsh bottom, firm climbing, and it felt like closer to 6" of travel. It looks a little complicated at first but it is more simple and much easier to maintain than the previous version. It has a downhillers geo as well. It's priced the same as the other guys out there and at the weight it hits its no heavier than other multi link designs. There aught to be sub $5000 build options soon as well.

So sick. Love this guy's edits. I'm sure anyone who's ridden there can attest- his riding speed is hard to comprehend.
