Can’t decide if they are cool because they look moto or if they are lame because it means I’m trying too hard to look moto. Would be nice for all those thorny bushes by the river though.

The orbea almost looks too low for a regular 4-bar layout, even with a trunnion. Unless the rocker is Intense rocker long. Thoughts?

Isn't kickstarter supposed to be for new, innovative products or companies? I don't think a middle of the road alloy wheelset from an existing company fits that description.

3/20/2025 6:47am 50 and knee surgery last June. I also have to have it juuuust right if I’m riding clip pedals. Flats I can get away with +/- 5mm without issue.

181cm tall and find a 150mm drop to be plenty. Even at 150mm I don't regularly drop it all the way. I scratch my head at how people find a need for 200+mm droppers.

3/19/2025 10:56am If the seat tube was 415 I would still only need a 150-175 length dropper. It’s clearly not in the way. It’s also roughly the same height as my last 3 dh bikes.

This is wild. I'm 6 feet on the dot, and my new bike came with a 170 mm dropper. I rode it nine times before my 210 was delivered. The 170 functioned as it should - went up and down - but it was getting in the way of how I ride and maneuver a bike. A few years back I was on the "a dropper is just a dropper" side, but after upgrading to a post with more drop, I can never go back. It made a bike I had for 2 years feel like a completely new (and...

j/k, of course. I have really short legs proportionally so I feel like this guy a lot. KotH still pops up in my brain all the time. It's been 10 years since I've seen an episode and some of the jokes manifest themselves in my brain weekly.

3/17/2025 11:46am 170 (pictured) puts seat at my knee, perfect for control, XXL YT Capra MX. 150 works fine too and I never got hung up on it even on a 2017 Reign SX that had a pretty slack seat tube.

3/17/2025 8:00am Even at over 6’3” tall I think super long droppers are overrated. 170 or even 150 is completely fine on the steepest features.

Unfortunately winter has made a solid return around here, and the test track is full of mud and snow, so coil shock testing has been put on hold. May as well discuss the Edge as I've had the fork for over a year now, with lots of ride time on it across multiple bikes. Chassis: The Intend Edge chassis is quite good. It is very stiff fore/aft and does not have the torsional twist issues associated with older USD forks where they can feel loose, sloppy, or vague in terrain like embedded rock. Probably due in large part to the...

That's exactly what happens - this was the first time they used a bumper stop instead of an o-ring in shocks like this, but I'm not sure if that still excuses them? Apparently I only did the video as a story so just added it to reels - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHPsZ1xzBsg/?igsh=MTU4cWdicTQ3cHFrbw==

Took me long enough but here is a FEA of a tubed vs machined CS (take it all with a grain of salt as neither are optimized but its fun to see how the stress goes though the part). Scroll to the bottom: LINK HERE

2 years ago some eagle eyed super nibblers on here spotted an ochain on saint cranks at a DH world cup,,,,, I figured enough time has passed that i can disclose how it happened. Am sure someone will be interested. https://www.mtbr.com/threads/modifying-saint-cranks.1237732/#replies
