This is the way. Once again I'm reposting this video from Steve at Vorsprung because its just so... damn accurate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5R60JHJbxI

People are asking for size L and XL to have the same proportions as size M. Ignore the total WB length number, there is no too long, and scale up the CS and stack to match the same proportion when increasing reach.

I just don't want to be spread out over a bike. The more leaned over I am, the more pressure it puts on my hands and the less control I have over the bike's movement. I shouldn't be experiencing something completely different just because of my height. I should be getting the same experience on my size L bike as someone who fits a size S. Reach changes too much between sizes in proportion to stack height, and rear centre lengths don't change enough. Right now, there's more difference in ride feel between the same bike in two sizes than...

I don’t think it’s silly if a rider wants a different character than the frame was designed with. Neko made a video testing different AR configurations and basically said its rider dependent on what they want.

Felt this needed an echo to show that Fox is still Fox, inverted or not. You think the forks they sent Vital, PB, and all the other media outlets are like this. 😉

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.

It uses low-friction oil seals and bushings made in Japan, and the...

Brembo brakes official

Some more shots from the Fox USD at Leogang: And seems like Specialized is running two different brake discs for the Brembos, the Hope-ish looking one with the round holes and another one with a lot bigger cutouts: There was also this raw alloy shim on the rear axle of Finn Iles' Levo which I have no idea about.

I had a horrible creak coming from the BB/rear wheel a few years ago that I just could not solve. Pulled and tightened the shock bolts/pivot bolts/cranks/pedals/chainring and cleaned/greased the rear thru axle threads all to no avail. Turns out my hub axle had sheared but the cassette was still solidly on the wheel. One day I took the rear wheel off and layed it down and the cassette just fell off. Replaced the axle in the hub and it went away instantly.

Hafjell, Norway was a sick track. That huge gap up top some riders would pull for, the high speed rocks, open sections mixed with woods, and more. I thought that track had it all to be honest. And Norway is just cool overall, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJNJZGrfv-I (Vital Raw 2011) 2012 UCI DH World Cup Finals - Hafjell (Specialized Team video 2012) "Tracks like this are the reason I got into the sport. This is more of a true mountain bike track than a lot of the stuff we've been riding this year. Few nice corners that remind me of Schladming, some...

June 24th They are very good if you want the ultimate enduro/ebike smash down steep stuff fork.

SInce it would be a World Cup & not a local race (i.e. fewer total racers), they could start up where WindMill crosses the gravel at the big camel hump rock drop. That would be fully shuttleable for the pros, add elevation and gnar. My brain has long forgotten if it WindMill can funnel into Middle Finger or Cave Man/SnakeRock. I think there are even old gas well pumps in a flat area there to put event tents for warm ups. But not much else. Best thing for WindRock is to push harder toward an old NORBA National format &...
