I've seen E13 and Canfield(early version) DM stems break with steel bolts. I think the real issue in the stem discussion is 3 or 4-piece design versus 2-piece. If there are 3 or 4 individual parts...

Use a standard Cane Creek 1.5 flush top cup, no gimbles. If its zero deg it shouldn't matter. You have to press a cup in and out regardless, might as well use the simpler setup.

Hey there,

This is Adam from the Downhill Zone bike shop. Yes we are a an I9 dealer, not stocking currently(a bit pricey to have them sitting around) but I have an account and can order any of...

I have my pick of all the high end goods at our shop(Intense, Turner, Foes, Rotec), and the Ventana was the clear choice for those seeking a "real world" dh rig. Its not the lightest frame(~12lbs...

Bummer, but it happens. Every major fork manufacturer sees their fair share of breaks every year. When you cast mag you always run the risk of voids.
Also, if you perhaps had crashed before and...

I have a full head of long, unruly hair, so I can't really knock D Riff for that. However, as Luke's home mech and friend my vote obviously has to go to the "Stroblight" - now you see him, now you...

Our shop (The Downhill Zone) had been sponsoring him for years and he had always ridden a DHR. For 07 he was picked by Maxxis who put him and teammate Cam Cole on custom Ellsworth Dare's. Same ICT...

Luke Strobel, keepin it pinned for the stars and stripes! Put three secs on his qual time, not bad. I guess he's starting to get comfy with his new rig.

I'm holding out until KTM gets in the game.

Real men ride the Orange!

Anyone have complete results? Searched every source I know of, can only find top 5. Specifically looking to see how Luke Strobel did.

Cheers

My vote goes to the B1 team DH. Huge rear end and wide bb for solid feel and stompin landings. Pivot was high but not forward, directly above bb for super active travel. Geometry is sick, slack...

I second the vote for a Turner Highline. 150 rear wheels are nice mainly for wheelbuilders, because you can use the same length spoke on both sides. They look beefy too. Its not a bad thing.

Suweet!


-The wheels and bike I built are currently in 10th.-


Way to go LUKE! RALLY TIME!

bump that b!tch

Very stiff. The horst pivot at the dropout is a bushing that's captured on both sides clevis-style. Check the close up pic. It pinches the dropout to the swingarm, which is much stronger than a...

06 holzfellers, 83mm howitzer bb. Super stiff, not overly heavy, very clean look. Available as short as 165's for Sunday's/low bb bikes. We've been putting them on Rotec's/M3's/other 83 mm shell...

someone must want to go pin it without spending too much

Sorry, no trades. Still for sale.

Includes a $180 headset and I even have a Thompsen seatpost I would throw in

LAME!

Favorite section on the hill no question. For some reason I always road really well through there, hardly any problems for 3 seasons straight. Oh well, I hope what they replace it with is...

bump it

come and get it

Likewise, I had the 2.3 on the rear with a 721 rim, and the thing was just skipping and bouncing all over the rocks. The profile is way too square, to the point where I was drifting on concrete...

Sweet! All I could find were pro men results. A good day for Seattle downhillers.
