Modern geo and retro build : how’s it ride???? A lot of my old buds wonder from time to time over adult beverages, how could the new geo have affected 26inch wheels …. Obviously bb hight is a thing, but slack and long ? Love them tora’s and missed out on a silencer /bmw … great bike

Performance can be measured in different ways. The stooge je ne sais quoi combined with those tires is performance

Interesting amount of hectic moments combined with good music. Appreciate the edit as well, responsible use of slow mow and irresponsible use of front travel and frame flex. I am here for it

I’m following I got ya, making sense to me, I love some sag and know where the rebound knob is on my 2012 v10. Cruz making the bike work for most everyone and not forum lurkers makes sense too… So is there a tallboy link in the works for the big Boi’s ? Does the move to Horst Leitners legendary...

I was literally just being a pedantic Santa Cruz hater (for a moment- I’ve loved vpp in the past) does it take a coil is a silly thing to ask - I thought …. And look what it all made happen - derailed. Nobody wants a coil on a tallboy cuz tallboy needs to be light!!! Tigon rules (on a...

I rode hammershcmidt I love tech and the idea of a gearbox, But seriously, did anyone even try the last Shimano front derailer that was essentially a bombproof idiotproof chainguide? It was so good, just about two years too late. These things can’t touch that for weight and simplicity Someone told me a while back that while the rear deraillier...

I did enough years in middle school to worry about getting my face bopped when it tried it. I would not trust this advice in person lol.

I’d love to see a shoot out of trail bikes using the same linkage designs. It would really interesting to start to dig a bit deeper as to what sets them apart - quality control, kinematics, maintenance, etc etc.

That shipment of revolts was pretty heartbreaking for everyone at evil that day….. The bike itself was nothing short of brilliant imho, at the time of 26inch dh racing bikes, combined with Dave Weagle, Thomas, and Stevie? The marketing, the design AND THE SWEET RIDE, man that bike was something. I think that’s a really good second try, aluminum MX...

Very nice. It’s just, like, soooo nice. Niceness. The white powder white coil ? TIMELESS. Maybe white rims wood have been a bit much….
