2013 Commencal Supreme DH
Supreme DH!
The Good
Handling, geometry, ride quality. I also like suspension that does not blow through travel. The progressive rate this bike has keeps the pedals off the ground but still corners in a sweet spot so to speak.
The Bad
It isn't the lightest, but that's far less important to me than the handling, which is like gold.
Overall Review
There is lots of good with this frame, but mostly it comes down to the ride. For me it is a super good race bike in the respect that the closer I am to the limit the better it performs. It is really good on the edge (probably because of the setup I'm running, long and slack) and is reassuring in races.

Hadley 20mm Dowhill Front Hub
Freeride burly
The Good
Minimal maintenance, bulletproof when built with Mavic 823 rim
The Bad
Only being able to have 1 of these on one bike ;)
Overall Review
I've been riding the same Hadley hubs on my freeride/DH setup for over 3 years and have never had an issue. They handle all the abuse and more

Wellgo MG-52 Flat Pedal
Decent pedal
The Good
Bearings have lasted me a long time now. Good sized platform at a good price.
The Bad
Not a good grip with a thin layer of debris
Overall Review
This pedal really isn't to bad overall. The platform size feels great on my wide feet and I don't get any pressure points on the bottom of my foot like some others. I did however find that when I was riding in either wet conditions and an ever so thin layer of mud got in the fine grooves I lost a ton of grip. I also got that with really fine dirt and then I was relying on the pins which by themselves weren't great. If you are looking for a good ol' flat pedal for jumping or anything like that

Fox Racing Rampage DH Full Face Helmet
Great Helmet
The Good
This helmet is definitly awesome for the price range. It has the feeling of being durable and strong without feeling to heavy.
The Bad
The sizes are way to broad. I like all individual sizing from small-XL however this particular helmet is combined with sml/med and then Lrg/XL.
Overall Review
This helmet is a great helmet if your not looking to spend to much, but want the best bang for that price range. It would be great for some amature level downhill racing and freeride, however I wouldn't recomend it for highspeed and impact crashes.

ODI Ruffian V2.1 Lock-On Grips
The Good
Bad to the bone.
Knurling is tackee and creates an 'as one' feeling
Slightly smaller diameter than most.
The Bad
...still can't think of anything.
Overall Review
Well, if your on the fence about some grips, wrap your greasy hands around a pair of these at your local bike shop and you'll fall in love. Buy them and lock'um on, worth the loot. Its all about control in a relationship. Slightly smaller diameter than most, if you prefer a more absorbing, thicker grip then try the Rogue. If you get the white ones, keep'um clean with watered down simple green habitually. what ever you do. ride bikes.
