Gravity Light Handlebar

The Good

WIDE! So much leverage, super stiff, awesome bar for someone tall looking for a nice bar, or just wider bars (me)

The Bad

WIDE! Hahaha, I always clip my bars on trees. It certainly keeps you on your toes when you're trying not to break your fingers

Overall Review

WIDE! Great bar, ergonomics are spot on, very similar backsweep compared to the Gravity 777's.

Race Face Atlas Crankset

The Good

Tough, Fairly light wieght, Looks pretty sweet.

The Bad

The price, and no steel threaded pedal insert may concern some.

Overall Review

Ilike them. I was at first concerned about the lack of a steel insert. I've torn out pedals from cranks that don't have them so I was a little worried. However I've had these for almost a year and no issue yet. I got them in Black and the finish is holding up really well.

Thomson Elite Seatpost

The Good

Light, strong, clean, beautiful

The Bad

A bit on the spendy side.

Overall Review

The best post. Super strong, it has an ovalized inner diameter (more material where needed less where not), and a "one piece" design. But perhaps one of the best features is the finish. It is tough. I hate when post paint fades and wheres through after a few times of moving the post (fsa). looks crappy and cheap. And the OD of the post always seems to be perfect, no forcing into the seat tube should be nessasary.

Race Face Atlas 35 Handlebar

The Good

Looks and feels great(2010 bar looks even better than the 2009 bar)

The Bad

might be a tiny bit heavy if you are a weight winnie.

Overall Review

Best bar I have ever ridden, plenty of space to get the most comfortable brake placement and it has a very high quality feel.

Burgtec Penthouse Flats Mk3 Pedal with Ti Axle

c120 97446430 1264741141.jpg?VersionId=2oOt9EtF2K1x47bt

The Good

Strong, stable, not disposable

The Bad

The only thing I don't like was the cost, but I've got my original set from a couple years ago. They look like they went through Afghanistan (and they could probably survive an IED) and I'm stoked they are still just like new functionally despite being beat on lots of rocks.

Overall Review

Iguess at the end of the day I'm stoked that I've got the widest platform out there, and I see some of my buddies with the new 'lightest' thing every year. That's the thing though, they get new stuff every year and it all looks like garbage (as in disposable) to me. I just want my bike to work and my pedals have been at it since 2008. I know they are more baller than anything else out there. I guess it is like having the sleeper car that can smoke the competition. I also don't like having what

2013 Commencal Supreme DH

c120 SUPREME DH 013.jpg?VersionId=sHmg7leYYqIXA9zTtY8j7NcXQ q

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

HadleyF20mmBlueDH6-22.jpg?VersionId=22GYbOtKAnMMriYk7b43Y8

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

c120 90075270 1266803122.jpg?VersionId=0ax3aulGNdgtbf2LdC9

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

c120 101055490 1267156903.jpg?VersionId=CBafwsgTJxYaPs KDIUtI

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.
