Please buy my DH fork that's been ridden super hard and never serviced. The oil seals don't leak because there's not enough oil left in the lowers to properly lubricate the bushings. If you can deflect a 35mm Boxxer to the point it's truly an issue, I'll be the first one to cheer for you on the WC circuit or at Rampage.

Fox. Creates larger air chamber. Fills it with grease. Benefits negated.

I've been to Rampage a couple of times, and never had a ticket. In my experiene there's a parking lot and a spot where they're checking tickets before you hike in to the venue. The venue is pretty far away from the parking lot. I just walk a quarter mile away down the road and hop a fence and then walk to the venue with everyone else who just went through the gate. It's in the middle of the desert, so it's pretty easy to work out. I don't try to get into the VIP areas, but I've never had...

It’s really not hard to just pull a little fluid from the caliper to get the air out when you open the port. My process is always to pull a little fluid from the caliper to clear that hose, and then push fluid up to the lever to clear the lever syringe hose. From there you can push/pull however you want. IMO it’s better than a threaded fitting or a bleed nipple. Threaded fittings can leak too, and there’s always the messy shuffle as you remove the syringe and try to get the screw reinstalled without spilling fluid everywhere or...

Small tip for people using the Maven bleed kit. It's pretty much impossible to get the air completely out of the syringe hoses before installing them on the brakes, because after pushing the last of the air out, the seal causes the piston to retract slightly and pull a bubble of air back in. Just make sure you always start your bleed by pulling the syringe plunger slightly before pushing it to migrate this bubble out the hose and into the syringe reservoir, to avoid shooting this air bubble into your brakes and making your bleed more difficult than it...

I had the previous model Phoenix 29 with a coil shock and all aluminum parts that weighed 35lbs on the dot. I think those could get as low as 33.5lbs with all carbon parts. The new frame is definitely slimmer but the dual chain system probably weighs an extra pound or two.

Exactly this, we are all here for latest and most capable bikes designed mostly for descending but haibike targets specifically German market and if anyone ever ventures into the area of northern Alps with their vast network of long range bicycle routes this type of bikes will represent some 90% of what you will see mostly ridden by groups of very active retirees.

I know anything about a new saint group feels like beating a dead horse at this point, but it caught my attention that the Pivot mechanic specifically mentioned the Saint cranks. I know when the lugged prototype was first rolling around it was on Raceface Atlas cranks with Saint stickers, but the latest pics do look like Shimano cranks. Not 100% sure if they're just relabeled XTs or XTRs but seemed interesting. Also Cascade I think it might be past your bedtime, but we'll let it slide in exchange for some Dominion brake booster spy shots...

Yea, so you blew a hole in my theory. I remeasured now, on both my Mavens and Dominions. On both of them, if I run the same number of clicks either from full in or full out, they end up with pretty significantly different reach measurements (~4-5mm). Or if I set them up so lever tip to back of grip, it'll be like 3-4 clicks different. I have no idea why it's that far off for both brands. I'm guessing there's a good amount of assembling variance at the factory on the reach adjuster. I know for my Hayes I've...

The kind of forum sliding Im all for. Right into my veins

I think this meme is now officially way out of hand but in the best possible way

Got a Kona Minute with a Bafang BBSHD on it. It goes 30mph and hauls a lot of stuff. I really wish it had suspension. With a CRAB link in the back. Cuz when ya hit a pothole at 30 and you're in "cruiser" mode on a sunny afternoon, it is fuckin sketchy. Slow down, you say? Fat chance once you get used to the POWA and the speed! Its glorious! Worst digger in the last 5 years for me was on... the eSUV, and a little squish might have saved me!

The Horseshoe Crab of the MTB industry, peak evolution.

At least where I live, a lot of those 90's MTBs are still kicking around, still being used for what they do best, leisure rides and conmuting. Even if you want a brand new bike, the now named ATB (All Terrain Bike) is rissing in popularity in both sides of the atlantic ocean. Simple machines meant to go places... As much as I love tech and innovation, I believe the humble, plain and simple, good old bicycle, the one that get used daily, is the most important bike there is. SUV ebikes are ok too, I find very dificult to...

homepaged.

I'm honestly shocked the Pivot was the lightest DH bike they weighed by nearly 3lbs. Shame on Mondraker for denying the scale! That Haibike looks like an AliExpress Unno.

Question, does anyone know what a tuned mass damper would do for a hardtail? Or a full suspension XC bike? Like does this positively effect a bike more if it has more or less travel?

This guy with the artificial hip (while not 50 yet) also rips. Even if he now requires a step through frame apparently

Who is going to compare different bike weights/costs to crab cost per pound? See which offers the better deal...
