Norco have been moving the main pivot to vary the CS length for many years now. Owen of Forbidden was a designer at Norco when they started doing it.

I think most of us get the point of the thread and why it was created, but if you aren't going to name drop why bother contributing?

To be fair this was immediately underneath the quote from Pagey. **Editor's Note: this quote came from before the public revelations of financial woes at Nukeproof's parent company Signa. We've followed up with the team but were told that nothing can be said at this time.

Jenna Hastings (I was in her vlog), Louise Ferguson, Ronain Dunne, Oisin O'Callahan, the entire Fox team. I walked up the hill with Jake and Sheafer and bought Pete a bunch of chocolate. Got Jackson Goldestone to say hello to my Mum. Vali Holl taught me German and Loic was fist bumping me in the start hut. There's too many to list! Vali's mechanic Matt and his wife Chloe. Greg the Physio. Charlie Hatton and Andy Kolb. Dan Atherton. etc etc etc Some little pr*ck online who whinges when I post something???????? STFU. These people matter to me! And what...

I love when people are downvoting an innovation when its interesting and a breath of fresh air

Did anyone have Nuke Proof on their bingo card? I didn't. https://singletrackworld.com/2023/10/signa-sports-financial-woes-future…

You don't need to pedal a motorcycle for 4 hours up hills...

Just some skull and vertebra fractures, nbd

The Manitou Dorado really is an incredible fork. They have the patent on the hex axle (guessing it expires soon) that resolved a lot of flex issues for DH diameter stanchions that moto forks don't have. Hayes just doesn't have the market penetration of Fox & RockShox, nor budget, to get it back on the top step. If a World Cup team w/ a proven winner tossed the Dorado on for next year, I have zero doubts it would hit the top step. Then suddenly people would pee their pants for Hayes/Manitou again.

Everyone on here having a moan about USD forks not having any torsional stiffness, mean while Cannondale are like "Hold My Beer" and have been doing for like 25 years

Prostitute’s dungeon oh Frotha. Also, I know the difference of how the UK and Eastern Europe decipher the word Gypsy. Do ya like dags?

Did GT piss in your Cheerios or something? Sheesh

Because a motorcycle fork doesn't have to be under 4 pounds for its intended audience. They can use thicker tubes, heavier materials and designs to make it stiffer without it being a market failure or affecting human powered performance.

Those frames looked pretty good with Pinkerton and then Ethan this weekend…

The GT Fury + Fox + Continental combo hasn't been this good since the Atherton days. It's definitely worth a look if you're a privateer looking at getting a new bike for next season.

4.3.011 says you can wear short pants with the proper knee and shin protection. you do have to have a long sleeve jersey though. Pants Long pants or short pants combined with suitable knee and shin protection are authorised. Such long or short pants should be of a type that is specifically designed and sold for use in BMX Racing or Mountain Bike downhill events. Long pants of the type described above must be of one-piece construction and made of tear-resistant material. They should cover the entire length of both legs until just above the shoe or ankle. Short pants...

Gonna unsubscribe from the forums for a while. Let the rest of you have a civilized chat.

You think a niche sport like ours should have our top guys bagging on hard tracks that make them pedal & ride intellugently with finesse & tactics rather than Bruni in his mega aerodynamic unobtainium Dyneema wind tunnel outfit that takes 3 people to pull him into so he can ski race down a Euro slope after 2 pedal strokes?

It really is amazing how narcissistic Euro DH racers are. They train all winter long to be the fittest nerds on 2 wheels & on the weekend it comes down to being the fittest, they whine. For crying out loud, I've sprinted that whole mountain on a muddy weekend with a fresh course & passed bike design company owners walking in their race runs. There are so FEW mountains on this planet that want to host a seething mass of downhill riders. Pits taking up space Tuesday to Monday with massive rigs & specific needs. Hiring a monstrous staff to...
