Mo(n)arch Added a reply to 2016 UCI Downhill World Championship Teams and Riders
8/18/2016 7:47am It's not the same without him. I thought he would come back in VdS with a 'yolo' run. But maybe he just isn't into it anymore. Too much injuries perhaps? I hope he doesn't disappear like Rennie back in the day...

8/17/2016 5:23am Maybe a metric shock? Or at least a longer one? All of the Session iterations since 2009 use a 222mm long damper.

Hmmm, they seem to just experiment with geometry?! If you compare this frame to the one from Rachel you can see that there are a few added mm to the top tube around the seat tube area.

8/16/2016 11:56pm Actually Gee has already a custom frame from Trek. In some interview he was telling that he was actually blown away how fast they had a custom carbon front triangle produced just for him. I can't find it anymore, though. He's also rocking what seems a different rear end, as he is riding aluminium seatstays. The original frames come with...

7/2/2016 11:05am Inverted tables like the OP. I'd love to do them like Kyle Strait. And doing whips like Aggy or Semenuk. And manuals.

Almost anyboday riding something slacker then 62° went back to 63°, which pretty much sums also up about what Santacruz thinks about the HA on the V10. What's interesting though is that he is running now 448mm of CS length and a 355mm BB height. During the Specialized days he 's ridden a 421mm rear end and an almost sub 340mm BB height if I remember correctly... Anyway, I wanna see the king back on the podium together with Minnaar and Gwin.!

6/7/2016 1:23am Outstanding work guys! I got a few shots down the page on the PB post and just had to come back and re-watch this, to get my head straight... You can't even compare the quality of this product to those yobbos at PB. Keep leading the way and thanks for all your hard work,

I would love to spend all of my money on a set of these. But I can't because I come from the same country Brosnan does. Which means we don't get any of the cool stuff. Thanks Specialized.

I would have gone with two different frame colors to avoid bad surprises. We all know these mornings where you get awake the first time standing in the parking lot of the spot;-) Also not a fan of the 30mm stem. Otherwise the race bike all the way! Which bike does he ride more often or for example doing park laps in Whistler?

4/8/2016 4:14am No idea what Bryceland said. Something about a swimming pool. Assume he is talking about the weather for the weekend. Consider subtitles.

4/8/2016 4:13am Interesting comments from Peaty. Much of the impetus for the UCI point rules came from current WC teams and athletes pushing to make the WC's more exclusive to top-tier riders only. Seems those feelings change a bit when confronted with the reality of how difficult it is to gain points when you don't already have them (especially early in the season).

What is the height of Marcelo? Would be great to have an idea in which proportion the frame numbers stand to his height.

Well, in the late Audi has some of the baddest commercials in the car industry. This is no exception...

2/17/2016 7:52am Just ask the bulldog: https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/l/t51.2885-15/s640x640/sh0.08/e35/127… It's safe to say that squats, lunges and deadlifts help a lot while riding. Work a lot on your core strength and stability. Pullups and Pushups help too.

Well at the beginning he clearly says that it is an XL frame. I don't think Trek is willing to pay for a new mold for an XXL frame. At least at the beginning.
