mtbkluth Added a reply to Are Global DH Bikes Sales Falling?
10/20/2020 10:30pm i worked for one of the big bikebrands and even if worldwide sales of dh bikes seem high to most people, they will not pay for development, salaries, etc. especially if carbon. in the grand sheme of thing they are great to develop new technologies that then get handed down to enduro and trail bikes. (trail bikes is still a...

At least some company is doing bikes with longer chainstays and uninterupted seat tubes. My current bike has 459 chainstays and 395 reach 27.5/29 wheels, and there is not too much weight on the front wheel. I think 469 chainstays paired with 64ha and 435 reach for a medium would be pretty ideal. I think it is silly of you to talk so surely that this will be too much weight on front wheel, when youve never even ridden such a bike. Based on all your comments i doesnt seem like you have a good understanding of how bike weight...

well in that „internet was wrong, short chainstays suck“ thread you did some math and stated short chainstays make a rider have to weigh the front. i dont see how that is so different to my post. on a yeti sb150 size XL the FC/CS ratio exeeds 1.9 and makes you have to weigh the front more than necessary... in my opinion. just saying... sorry i hope that doesnt break your internet

as a tallish person i would actually like to see more brands extending their chainstays. no matter how many pushups you can do - your legs will always be stronger than your arms and can take quite a bit more beating. side benefit would be less shaky sight.

7/24/2019 12:08am for me it seems like suspension setup is something i never reach an end result. whenever i find a new „perfect“ i wonder if the grass is greener still on the other side. a few bikes ago i really dug the activeness of rock shox (i think there is a general difference between rock shox and fox with the latter...

mtbkluth Added a comment about feature We Ride Coil and Air Shocks Back-to-Back
10/18/2017 10:40am
Something I've been wondering. A coil fork must be as linear as it gets as there is no frame leverage ratios etc. But why is it that a certain progression is wanted in the coil shock? Would it not make for a very balanced ride if both curves were as close to each other as possible?
