Swapping rockers or links to setup a bike for a particular track is pretty common. But in Intense's case I don't really get the impression that that's why they were swapping them out! As for how they stay afloat, it'd be interesting to know how many of the 951 bikes they sold to (or thru) costco? It seems like it could have been a pretty lucrative deal?

Heck yes! These trails brought me to Oregon for my first ever mountain bike trip. A decade later and I live here and get to ride these amazing trails all the time. Thanks BRMBA!

Singletrack may have just accidentally leaked a new DVO "Topaz X" with added LSC/HSC adjustment in their latest Topaz Gen 3 review: Did a little searching and here's a pic from Bikerumor (at Sedona last year) of a prototype DVO shock with the dual compression adjustment knob from the Jade coil shock:

I'll get there. I had a priority list of things to tackle once I changed teams and getting my suspension completely dialled was more important than Flight Attendant.

They probably sell more bikes to the SoCal moto Bro's than other companies sell globally.

At 63.6º HTA a 46mm offset fork gives 119mm of mechanical trail, while a 54mm fork gives 111mm. To get the 54mm fork giving the same mechanical trail the HTA has to be dropped to 62.2º. As for the why, I think lengthening the front of the bike without affect reach is a pretty reasonable justification for the offset. I'd hate to live life as a modern stanchion bushing and there's not a lot more that can be done to move the front contact patch forward otherwise.

Alu nips: I've had great luck when I build my own, not so much on the wheels that come with a bike. Quality nips and good spoke prep seem to be the key. I prefer boiled linseed oil (don't burn down your house!) which keeps them locked and also able to turn when a true or rim swap is needed. It's magic. It's also dangerous due to the spontaneous combustion thing, if I ran a shop I wouldn't allow it to be used.

Speaking of extra wrenches, how do you tighten the Polyax nipples once the spoke pokes through the nipple on the underside? A standard flatheaded srewdriver is out of the question. Yeah you need a new tool for squorx nipples, but in my experience it makes life easier, not harder. And it's only applicable for the initial build anyway, like I mentioned.

I don't know who cares about this, but I'm putting it out here: I am 1.91 m / 6'3” and weigh 95-100 kg. I am riding 29” wheels with DT Swiss EX511, Sapim D-Light spokes and alloy Sapim Polyax nipples since 4 years now. Hope hubs, J-bend spokes and 32, because I feel I need those extra 4 spokes and 32 stuff is just easier to find, if something gets broken.I am running a CushCore in the rear and like to believe I am a rather smooth rider. I have had minor issues with this set-up. Had to true the...

Pretty sure Finn ran 51 and loic 42 according to some article I read at some point. Perhaps that changed. I know Canfield has speced the 54 ohlins on bikes on the other hand. And they certainly know how to make a bike that can ride fast. to sum up my experience shortly a larger offset increases grip and how much the bike follows where the front wheel is pointed but suffers floppiness and loss of grip when rotating the bars. A shorter offset decreases front wheel grip but vastly improves handling and consistency in feeling when moving the bars/sliding...
