Also 30% sag is super soft for most DH bikes, but especially progressive ones like the the Supreme. The old bike suggested something like 15-18% at the shock, since the relatively high initial rate means that works out closer to 30% at the wheel. This is also the thing that throws off most spring calculators if it isn't taking in to account the specific change in leverage ratio. For the V5 I aim for 20-25% (standing up, weight on the pedals) Looking at the V5's I've set up I would put you on 450-500, and there is a 450-490 sprindex...

For brakes I've narrowed it down to Trp Dhr Evos and Sram Mavens. I've already ridden Trp for a season and like the feel. My only problems with Evos so far is the...

Matt Hermanson Started a new thread Is the UCI TV Coverage Hate Unwarrented
5/19/2024 9:25pm Unpopular opinion apparently, but I've been enjoying the coverage this year. I have Max (and am in the U.S.), so that might affect my opinion. I have found it easy to follow the racing, I have been able to watch the lives, and I enjoy the little snippets that they put on YouTube. It's starting to feel as professional as...

15mm fork axles. Bring back 20mm for single crown (Intend leading the way there as ever) Everything else I can live with (for the most part) as there are always several options to chose from.
