Looks like it could be a basic Tuned Mass Damper.

6c. The SB 29ers only have 1 internal port on the right side (no FD), and generally a shorter head tube.

What dial? You mean that giant knurled black ring at the top that's as big as the air can's diameter itself?

It's got a vein popping out of its seat tube.

Why not just use the downtube bottle mount with a Pro Storage bottle.

Varaxis Added a reply to Wild Looking 2017 FOX 32 SC Fork
4/1/2016 3:51pm There's been news on floating around for a while. The new race (weight weenie) class step down cast 32. Boost, without the wider stance, and crazy light. I think around ~1400g. Performance Elite has a slick black ano stanchion finish, in between the Factory and Performance level forks.
Varaxis Added a reply to The Patent Thread - New and Wild Mountain Bike Inventions
3/30/2016 4:20pm Regarding the VP cassette patent, it's interesting, but not sure how that supposed to be any more affordable than a GX cassette, when everything's still pinned, but just less hollowed out. Does leaving the cogs excessively long contribute to anything? Is the GX 1150 still overpriced at 108.99 street price, considering its manufacturing methods? Think it's just a matter of...

Looks 27.5 to me, due to the lack of BB drop. https://www.instagram.com/p/BDRIVcokZPJ/?taken-by=curtiskeene

Good stuff. The Blenki clip and you almost going through that creek crossing made me laugh. Great looking trails over there.

(assuming the pedals are just an excuse to give a sneak peak of the proto stuff that you aren't allowed to show) Wild Rock'r2 with Minion shoulder knobs? Had to check and see if my E29's downtube looked that boxy and if the link was that long, to see if I wasn't looking at a proto Enduro, cause that doesn't look familiar to me. Edit: Looks like it's just the long link that's throwing me off. Keene's instagram shows him with a normal looking 650b Enduro with a longer than normal link.

"SRAM will only make the Eagle chainring in the direct-mount style at first, and we were told it's the only Eagle component compatible with their 1x11 drivetrains." Here, I saved you $350

Chains have stayed 3/32" inner width for decades. Every narrowing has been done to the outer width. Note how KMC basically downsized their pin measurement every time another rear cog has been added.

Varaxis Added a reply to AutoShock - Linking Your Dropper To Your Shock
3/19/2016 2:35pm Sounds like what Fox intended with the CTD. I'd speculate they had their reasons for not linking the dropper to the suspension, and why mfgs, besides Rocky Mtn and Scott, didn't link the front and rear susp settings together. I don't use lockouts for climbs, I use them for managing an inefficient pedaling style that I can't avoid, such as...
Varaxis Added a reply to What do you want to see from an MTB edit?
3/7/2016 2:12pm Frankly, I like vids where I can see fine details of everything from rider technique to how the trail's built. I prefer slow-mo vids where I have more time to notice details. I have a peeve against speeded up video at the "good parts". I generally like to get stoke out of the video, though things like Rampage, Semenuk's one-shot...
Varaxis Added a reply to What Are YOU Most Picky About Regarding Setup?
2/29/2016 8:13pm Bar height. I find hard to adapt to a bike set up with an upright-position. High rise bars, lots of spacers under the stem, stem rising upwards... the horror! I will admit that I'm more leg than torso though.
