Apart from Minnaar taking the win - which as a South African is a pretty big deal for me. Can I just say massive props to Dean Lucas for the podium finish, and Ed Masters almost making the top ten! He's the manager of a team that schooled some of the fastest podium contenders, big up!

The most important part of learning to do a stoppie: calling it a stoppie and not an "endo"

I think you mean Norco wants their bike back. Horst link pivot rocker link, this thing is pretty much an Aurom. Trek uses ABP/Split Pivot rear end.

Marc Added a comment about feature First Look: Shimano XTR Di2 Electronic Shifting for MTB
5/30/2014 11:00am
I really can't understand all you haters.. I work at a bike shop and have frequent dealings with electronic groupsets on road bikes and can say it trumps the mechanical groups absolutely. The battery lasts like they say, the shifting is so smooth you can change gear while cranking it up a hill and it won't skip a beat. It's so reliable it's actually bad for us as customers will only come in once a year to have the bike serviced. The only reason people are hating is because of the price.. Get over it. Cycling is expensive.

Marc Added a comment about feature When 800mm Isn't Wide Enough - Introducing the Greg Minnaar Signature Edition ENVE Handlebar
12/22/2013 10:46am
I bought the previous Enve DH bar and like the feel for a while until I cut them down to 780mm not sure why it's such a big deal to people that they are this wide. There are people out there who need it that wide, although not many at least they give you the option and if it doesn't suite you just CUT THEM DOWN.

Jeez how much do they pay cops in NZ?! Puts things in perspective considering I get paid fairly well by South African standards and I work at a bike shop so I get staff discount and I still could never afford an Sworks demo!

Awesome team. I'd imagine working for the Syndicate must be like working for Makita Suzuki while Carmichael was there. Big up Greg

It is a known problem... Enve riders find they tend to pull spokes through the rim due to their high spoke tension. I work at a bike shop that sees enve wheels all the time. And before you go hating on carbon or Enve, Minnaar told me himself that while running WTB wheels prior to the Syndicate picking Enve up as a sponsor he was going through up to 25-30 rims in a single race weekend. Now with Enve that figure is down to 8-10

Have you ever used a csixx? If you have you'll know it features woven carbon (less susceptible to abrasion damage) rubber on the guide to prevent chain-slapping-plastic noise and kevlar woven into the "taco" part of the bashguard which helps it slide off rocks rather than hook up and stop you dead. It's a better engineered product, and I don't even have to look at the Ethirteen to know this
