TEAMROBOT Liked a comment about Feature The Ultimate Park Bike? Vital's Yeti SB165 Project

Disagree on all points. 38's still creak, and nothing compares to the stiffness of a dual crown fork for big holes, steep terrain, and heavy braking. If you're in a bike park there's no need for 12 speeds, and the longer chain and derailleur cage are much more likely to make clack-clack noises and get bent. Lastly, it's not a coincidence that Fox makes the most durable seatposts and the ones with the highest stack height. Bushing overlap = durability. Pretty simple.

Rumor has it Cascade Components is developing a link for the V1 Sentinel. Expect to see this soon. Btw, It won't void your warranty! - Lars

I wear a copper foil hat. It works way better than tin. That said the bit of the no service video that seems funny is in the middle. I'm not claiming to be an expert though. I figure there's a chance I'm wrong.

I'm not saying anyone is going to count views, likes, etc, but they are signed to promote a product so general presence is inherently important. It looks good if your stuff is making the rounds and likes and views is what gets it there in this day and age. I don't think anyone is counting them, but they are means...

In the day and age of social media what you have done in the past is less important. People don't necessarily know who you are so if your content isn't crazy they'll lose interest really quick. If you don't race like both those guys then a big part of your career is social media. So yeah if they need tons...

Go to 4:02 as well. Watch the rider in front especially. Gravity seems a little faster than normal... being familiar with this trail I have to say this footage is fishy. The whole flow trail section is pretty smooth but the footage is jerky. I feel like this subject is the instagram equivalent of PEDs.

5/21/2019 11:24am

Without proof of purchase you are SOL with Fox warranty. I just sent my DHX2 in for warranty for the same thing and they were very uptight about having the receipt and then not very communicative once they got it. Kind of a pain in the ass. There's a guy in Renton, Butter Suspension, that's super knowledgeable. If you want...

RichardSherman Started a new thread Is there a new TR11?

5/1/2019 1:43pm

The overlay isn't perfect, but there are definitely differences between Tahnee's bike and the TR11 that Transition currently has for sale. Seat tube/bb junction is definitely different and the shock mount looks like it has moved forwards on the front triangle.

She did say that, but a different front triangle is way more different than longer chainstays. Everyone was speculating as to whether or not it had been long shocked. I don't think it was long shocked because it looks like an entirely different frame.
