Mat_Slow_Rider Added a reply to Oak Levers vs Freedom Coast Levers

8/8/2026 1:43am

I own a set of the oak levers on my A1s, I went to the B1 levers but bent one 90 degrees in a crash a few months ago. I'd say the upgrade from A1 to B1 was insane, but wouldn't really go out and put oak levers on a set of B1s unless you damaged your levers.

I realize that every situation and rider is different. You learn how a tire reacts and you ride accordingly. I’ve used a DHF for over 20 years as a front tire. Maybe longer. Many other designs have come and gone, but the DHF has persevered. I’ve tried other offerings, specifically the Assegai… This might sound weird, but I thought it was possibly too good. It made steering the bike boring. I couldn’t get a front wheel slide to happen. I actually enjoy that, and use it as a cornering method. You can actually feel what the tire is doing on...

Yeah that is very true, I knew that and you're definitely right, the rear end could very well be the same length considering it's a high pivot there's really no need for a longer back end, chainstay length is also on par with the current supreme. I did some measurements with the front and rear rotor and the perspective is...

Unlikely, the front triangle looks to be production and I'd bet they're using the lugs from the proto with just longer tubes or something similar. So the pivot points and link lengths likely stay the same. The travel overall probably increases, both vertically and horizontally.

The Phoenix has over 20mm of rear axle displacement, so the shortish chainstays make sense when they’re 13-17mm longer at sag. If they’re lengthening the chainstays, I wonder if they are also reducing the rearward movement. We’ve seen other brands reduce it such as Commencal Supreme V4 vs V5.

Bravo, this is excellent work. I think the changes make a lot of sense from a product perspective, if I were shopping for a DH frame the shortish and possibly weakish rear end would put me off.

Back at it again with my horrendous image measurements, this time something actually bicycle related. I took the shock eye to eye of 225mm and zoomed in super close to align it to the centre of the shock bolts and scaled the image until the measurement was exactly 225. I drew a line to the middle of the shimano crank...

Unfortunately I'm an idiot, so I'll answer your question even if it is sarcastic. I found a known value that's easy to measure, the rear brake rotor. I set it to 203mm (as mentioned in a bike check from my memory) 16.2cm = 6.377 inch, rounded up however the app used rounds things and also not a perfect angle. Closest...
