MrPrometheus Added a reply to Peaty DSQ?

8/9/2011 6:55am

I find it interesting that UCI has a rule so hard to enforce for them. Unless you have cameras or course marshals every 10 feet along the course how do you enforce this?

I think the rule used to be "a rider must reenter the course such that there was no advantage" or something to that affect. Recently they clarified the rather broad for interpretation statement to include leaving the course and re entering before next tape marker. Perhaps they should go further and state such that the rider remains on bike. In...

It looks like it was a valid application of the rules just in a crappy instance. Nigel was commentating that the rule states if you leave the course you have to reenter the tape before the next post. In this case Peaty was screwed cause he cut through the tape at an angle right at the post so when he...

Yup thats it. I had a Marzhocchi Z1 up front though. I have to find some pics cause this one is nice but does not do mine justice. :p

LOL until last season I was still running a love seat. Actually have a brand new one in the wrapping from a warranty replacement. Hucking to flat popped the rails out. All I have to say is my kids will thank me for the love seat someday.

While I agree Specialized S-Works FSR DH was sweet the limited run Specialized S-Works Dual Slalom in same paint and sticker scheme took it to an entire new sexy level. The sticker graphics were not broken apart as much by the welds and the frame lacked the peekaboo hole. I begged the buddy of mine who got me into downhill...

Sorry for the double post. Tried clicking delete or edit for both of them but it does not seem to be working. Sigh. Damn those internet forum engineers. They made a bike with square wheels!

I wonder if the same stealth rubber was ever considered for tires? Would love to see a followup article of tire developments over the years. Is sticky rubber and the such just Stealth technology adapted or a different beast?

1/6/2011 6:05am

Remember when you had to run the v brake to disc brake adapters for the early Specialized FSR bikes? You had to drill your own hole in this exact spot and if you got it wrong needed to run a huge stack of washers to correct the alignment. I remember when I cracked the head tube of my FSR at...

Amazing footage. How sweet would it be to do the same in USA at Mount Washington! We could even shuttle up with the steam train. Last time I hiked there I could not stop gawking and thinking how sweet the trails would be on a dh bike. =)
