About Me
I'm a huge fan of WC DH and 4x. Can't get enough of it. I used to do some dh and slalom but I mostly do All Mountain riding now. I like good singletrack that flows and is challenging. I love jumping too. I don't mind climbing at all. Shuttling is so much of a hassle that I don't think its worth it. Plus, the more you climb the easier it gets. I kinda feel sorry for guys who never pedal up. Your missing a lot of good riding and opportunities to improve your dh skills with improved fitness.

I think I'll run these instead of an Assegai simply because I hate the Maxxis name for the tire so much. Currently running an E-thirteen semi slick on the rear after my Kenda one slashed apart. Maxxis Minion SS was great except it only lasted a few rides before the tiny knobs were worn down or cut off! My E-thirteen SS tire has been rolling for half a season now.

Shop Mechanic Added a comment about feature Zerode Bikes Available in the United States

I rode a Zerode down a staircase to test the claims of better rolling over square edged hits. After trying some FSR bikes and traditional low single pivots on the same stairs I can report that the Zerode is much faster over this type of obstacle. Most bikes feel like you are dragging the brakes when going over square edged bumps. The Zerode had no such feeling and just picked up a lot of speed. To me the gearbox is a side benefit. The real story is how this fast this bike rolls over the rough stuff.

My experience is that they don't stick to the ground any more than a 26er but when they are on the ground they can gobble up the little rocks which may be Decker's goal here. Perhaps he pre-jumped and is looking to get some backside from the drop followed by some pump at the bottom instead of jumping over it?
