9/10/2024 2:52pm I imagine it would be fairly easy to implement if you started with a twin tube air spring design like the 38.

9/9/2024 3:50pm I know a few fast people who are on the DHX/Float X for DH use. The story I’ve heard is that it’s cheap, reliable and responds very well to retuning. It has less external adjustability than an X2, but if it’s tuned for you that doesn’t really matter.

9/5/2024 10:08am As an Enduro owner, I feel like the seat angle is a bit overblown. While it would be nice if it was a bit steeper, it still rides fine and I basically never think about it. I would argue the fact that so little needs changing after 5 years show how much they nailed the design in the first place...

Haro's France IG page just released a pic of an upcoming carbon version of the Daley, 150/140 rig, she clean: And they have some pics of a very tidy enduro rig as well, not sure what got in the water at Haro but I'm here for it.

I have heard the complete opposite from a geo perspective (steeper HTA). When the Sentinel came out, there was no Spire. Now there is the Spire so Transition can now make the Sentinel more of an "all mountain" bike and keep the Spire as their big enduro bike.

I like shimano brakes a lot more than sram (I’ve yet to try the mavens tho) but you have to admit dot is objectively better than mineral oil.

8/29/2024 9:51am On the subject of private testing, I have to give Leatt a lot of credit there. They actually publish test reports and whitepapers for a lot of their products. If they claim a product passes a test above the norm, they almost always have a test report you can read. For example, their 6.5 goggles pass military ballistic impact test...

8/29/2024 7:12am If I had a dollar for every time I’ve massaged the pistons on these stupid brakes, I could buy a few six packs of beer to drown the pain these things have caused me. The pistons aren’t retracting fast enough. I’ve tried lubricating them, I’ve tried not lubricating them, I’ve tried replacing the olive and barb, I’ve tried replacing the...

8/27/2024 3:44pm I’m bleeding them, and yes, the Sram manual tells you to wind out the adjuster. To clarify, my bite point doesn’t wander. They pump up on rapid lever pulls.

8/27/2024 1:50pm Aren’t Hope Green and Galfer Green literally the same thing? I’m 90% sure my Hope pads said “Galfer” on the back, and the Hope coloring matches the Galfer color system.

8/27/2024 1:41pm From my experience they fit similar to TLD, but about half a size off. I wear a large Fox for my V3 RS, my Mainframe, and my old Rampage Pro Carbon. My TLD Stage is an XL/XXL with the smallest pads instead of a M/L. I always felt like I was between sizes on the D3, but I haven’t tried...

8/26/2024 9:35pm Do yours move towards the bar or away? Mine move away from the bar after a few quick pulls. It’s really annoying, I got the levers replaced under warranty and it got better but it’s still not fixed. I met a guy who runs a shop about 2 hr away from me that swears he can get them working correctly...

8/26/2024 4:51pm Interesting, I hadn’t really thought about that. Pad rollback is controlled by the piston seals right? So you’re basically stuck with whatever Hope designed it for.

8/26/2024 3:46pm I like the power and consistency of my Tech 4 V4s, but I don’t like how mushy the bite point feels compared to my old Codes. Speaking of Hopes and Codes, has anyone ever heard of someone running Code levers on V4 calipers? V4s have the same piston sizing as the calipers that Cascade Components sells as an upgrade for...

8/26/2024 9:52am I just looked it up, it does meet a moto certification, ECE22.05. ECE 22.05 is the outgoing version of the standard but it’s cool to see a company shooting for overkill instead of the bare minimum. I held a friends Full 10 the other day and it was alarmingly light. It feels more like an enduro helmet than a DH...

8/26/2024 8:48am I’m a big proponent of moto helmets these days. They’re a little heavier and hotter, but you get accustomed to it pretty quickly. Their safety standards are generally more rigorous than bicycle standards. The new European standard ECE22.06 actually includes low speed and rotational force testing. Anecdotally, I’ve had a couple of huge crashes relatively recently. One was in my...

Make your own bike park by installing a zip line from the top to the bottom, and send your battery down by itself every time you finish the climb. Shred down and pick up your battery again at the bottom.

8/22/2024 4:07pm Yeah, but that still has all the frame structure and support for the big battery. I meant designed from scratch that way.
