Might be a proof of concept, but combined with the plastic mount and zip ties I do wonder how effective that would be as a TMD....

Brian Cahal's vid of him using the raised reversed stem also featured him washing out the front and eating dirt. You know it's something riders won't mess with when even the guy known for having a ridiculously high stack (Dak) runs a stem that roughly matches his offset. To me it seems like there's absolutely nothing to be gained from really short stems.

7/2/2025 9:26pm I am not sure this is correct, but I would disagree about the LSC adjuster doing nothing in a NSR product.

Haven't seen this posted anywhere. From a Japanese site. Hello, this is Kayaba Corporation. Introducing the new suspension we've developed for e-Bikes.

A lot of good thoughts here, but just to play devil's advocate, have we considered the possibility that he's right and we're all stupid and everyone in the bike industry has collectively been doing it wrong for 30-40 years and he alone can tell us the answer and it requires buying this expensive new product from his webstore? I mean at least consider it, is what I'm saying.

I always new Dave was an avid MBAction reader - https://mbaction.com/garage-files-how-to-set-suspension-sag-using-motoo… I like how he assumes none of us ever heard of that tool or read the Motorcycle Suspension Bible....but apparently we are all morons? I don't normally get to caught up in everyones theories since there are many ways to do it, and each is fine as long as its vaguely repeatable, but this is claiming an awful lot of precision for measuring the sag without any way of checking the weight distribution which can introduce just as much error!

6/15/2025 11:55am Back at it again creating his own hype by saying "don't believe the hype" and saying that he's going to change the mtb world. Not quite.... Setting sag is not that deep, I've done this with measuring the shock sag and just looking up what sag that is at the axle using a linkage model on the computer (cost 0€).

No, we haven’t been measuring sag wrong. Any method of measuring sag that is repeatable is an acceptable way to measure sag. As it is something that must be tuned as opposed to setting to a specific percentage, being able to repeatably measure sag is the most important thing. You can do this seated and measuring at the shock just fine. If someone wants to measure it with a whole bunch of kit that’s fine, but telling everyone they are wrong and do it wrong is silly. It is definitely worth noting that on more progressive bikes you shouldn’t be...

I feel that the larger rotor in the rear balances out the “bite”and makes it stronger. If I run the 220 in front it find the initial bite pitches my fork too much and upsets the bike balance. The first rider I saw do this was Troy Brosnan

Would be fun to see this bike put against the clock with an impartial test rider on a variety of enduro world cup tracks. It looks so sick for fast and rough DH style trails. But it's hard to believe it would perform against the clock on tight trails. Seems like almost all the enduro racers, whose livelihoods depend on results, are tending to size down for enduro racing.

Nico_Ofner Added a reply to Case Study: Jekyll DH Data Logging Setup
4/21/2025 10:08am I used a BYB system when I used to test with data from 2021 to 2023. I always enjoyed about 30% dynamic sag rear, and somewhere between 25% and 30% front. I felt it worked well very balanced, but when for example you are tired in a race run and you start overbraking a bit or make a mistake it's...

4/21/2025 8:00am Very intetesting post and cool work! A few things I noticed: I do not know these trails and how fast the rider is, but the velocities seem quite low to me in both compression and rebound. When setting up my DH racebike I always saw much higher numbers. Also do you mean static sag or dynamic sag in the post...

Yeah there is a particular Australian mechanic who gets a lot of people on the 471 DT revolution build. Funny it's still so popular after 8 years of it.
