All

My thoughts were on too much grease as I've seen a few people lost of that before. It makes me want to bring all new suspension in for a tear down now before I ride it though, and that's just kinda sad tbh. You shouldn't have to worry about the quality of assembly on a +$1000 suspension part.

Yeti compressed shock = Yikes !!

Would y'all want to see a 15-minute VitalMTB video with back-to-back testing on a section of brutal rocky chunder with different pedal kickback theories to see if the Ochain really works as advertised?

teamrobot set a record for forum thumbs up, so here's a preview of what's to come (unlisted, only for the special people in this forum topic) regarding taking out pawls and testing ochain.

Quick and dirty photoshop of Gee's stories

if this has been discussed, sorry. i can delete. has anyone talked about greg's norco w/ the aluminum rear end stiffened with a carbon wrap since fort william? as seen in our pit bits video. "it may be too stiff, but we're going to try." do they just scuff up the stays and vacuum bag the carbon/resin around it? pretty bonkers

New Marin from MBUK enduro bike test? Downtube storage and udh

Listening to the podcast with Page and Foes and Brent mentioned maybe needing to make a suspension piece himself. With Sam being a big SRAM guy you know it won't be a fork or shock. That reminded me of the FFR proto that was I think the last DH bike Goes made. https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/The-Hub,2/Foes-FFR-Dual-Damper-Seen-at-… It had a second shock to control down travel.

slowmo vid from fort william and lawlor. tons of cool stuff to check out and see suspension moving (we're calling it bike magic this year instead of bike abuse b/c the algorithm does not like violence LOL) daprela's bike

@bstens - it was brought up that you may not be able to pick the same team every round based on rider values changing each race, so consider that too. it's not a "set and forget for the year" game. it's how we chose to run it. re: open through semifinals - once the game has opened, nothing will get adjusted (rider values or closing times) to keep it fair for everyone. we'd thought about shutting down after qualis, but with quali/semi being on the same day this year, the window of time between the quali and semi could lead...

you can play how you want, but you have the ability to create a new team each race. you'll start from scratch each round so, up to you if you want to pick the same riders. re: danny hart at $60k - that's a 15th place position in finals for 60 points. hope he smokes that value, but seems realistic given the talent out there, eh?. martin maes (a world cup downhill winner) at $38k seems like the real bargain if his ebike holds up

Danny Hart is a steal right now at $60k.
