4/12/2024 10:41am I found the eliminator to feel a little draggy. Spec took it back too, not sustainable but easy to try different tires and just keep what you like. I am on double butchers now and pretty happy with the braking performance/ rolling resistance compromise, t9 front t7 rear. Will try some contis if they get some softer compounds under a...

4/11/2024 11:12am I agree with ARon about the dissector. At least in Rocky Mountains. It is excellent when you first put it on, but gets chewed up faster than zebra stripe gum. Pic is after a couple months in CO, maxxterra

3/28/2024 8:23am Welcome to the new thread where you can trash other people’s opinions. Hot topics are feeling a difference in brake levers, suspension kinematics and reach. Have at it, but keep it here and out of the pinned forums. Boost your ego here instead!

3/28/2024 8:08am What a depressing set of comments today. Biking is a hobby, people can enjoy it as they wish. Get over yourselves and let people be happy. Complaints about other peoples opinions are not tech rumors.

Was hoping for this comment--proper carbon and one of the stronger alloy wheel companies being Spank. If only WAO made the Strife (28mm id) rim in 27.5. Would compliment a 30mm id Spank 359 on the front most excellently. btw, the 350 is only rated astm cat.4 gravity test..the 359 is cat.5 approved (and is available in non-vibrocore, I think its only 15-25g heavier than the 350)

WAO Triad rear with Spank 350 front is sweet.

1/15/2024 7:17am I am going to spell it out for everyone here that has less experience with Trolls. Someone is purposefully saying silly things to rile you up, just ignore it. Do not reply. Not even a little bit. Just let the stupid comment die in the wind. Then it wont be fun for them anymore and maybe, if we are lucky...

I seem to remember Richie Rude saying he lost around 25 pounds when he started working with Graves when he was switching to enduro. Loic wants to be the final EDR champion? Ok, ok. My understanding of the strength element in DH is really about the ability to take a big hit, not necessarily to intentionally plow through everything. I'm thinking of times where you land a drop deep rather than slowing down to take a smoother landing. Or getting off line and having to save a big hit you weren't expecting. From this idea, I can see 2 reasons...

I think there is something to the higher weight, less mobility thing, but to me that isn't the major thing that makes Jackson's riding different. The biggest thing I see is Jackson's corner speed on steep terrain, which I put (in part) down to his light weight allowing him to brake later and slow himself down for corners more easily than a heavier rider. Jackson seems to be able to gap into sections, clearing over bumps and holes, and then slow himself down on a dime. A heavier rider like Loic or Minnaar wouldn't be able to brake enough for...

1/10/2024 11:54am @EBlackwell Less mass under braking makes a lot of sense. Good call. @bnflynn in combat sports featherweights are quicker than heavyweights with large movements like throwing a punch or a kick. But do you think that smaller movements like steering adjustments are as applicable? I can see so for an over-built body builder but I guess less so for athletes...
pedalpedalpedal Started a new thread Weight vs mobility in dh racing
1/10/2024 9:25am I’m struggling to understand how cutting weight alone would help loic and other bigger riders gain speed. From what I see, it is not jackson’s lighter weight that makes him fast. It looks like his mobility and flexibility allow the bike to move underneath him. I read people talk about chassis stability and it makes sense that a rider does...
