    Best DJ fork on the market?

    Isn't that just a 36talas set to 100mm travel?

    Hub Flange spacing?

    You say they went the wrong way, but I guess that's the only way you could go. So I guess equalizing spoke tension is not viable?

    Hub Flange spacing?

    I need to buy a new set of wheels, and I got thinking about hubs, and flange spacing in particular. In most hubs the flanges are spaced out in such a way that the rim will not be in the middle of both flanges, but closer to one of them. I came across some hubs that have the flanges...

    Eccentric Bottom Bracket?

    Does anyone have any experience with eccentric BB on jump bikes? I know they are often used by the XC singlespeeders (strange breed) but not sure if can withstand DJ/street abuse. Thanks

    G-BOXX 2 is born !

    Is the 14 speed G-boxx only gripshift? If so, only when the V-boxx (9spd) or the 7/9 speed G-boxx it'll be possible to use a rapdfire shifter?

    You can add California based Versus Cycles to the list :cheers: They'll have a G-boxx based frame out at Interbike booth #4063

    G-BOXX Planetary, first pics

    Better make sure your chain doesn't brake :) It does make sence to remove more weight from the rear wheel, but surely fitting any decent size rotor in the G-Boxx (with an appropriate guard no to burn/slice your leg) that clears everything is a tricky task. Also won't long term hub (the...

    the gearbox thread

    Are there any efficiency figures for either the G-boxx (similar to rohloff?) or the V-Boxx?

    DHer, maybe you should make a reference to where you lifted the pics and text from :bonk: http://www.descent-world.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&Itemid=82&task=view&id=425 Any ideia what would come out of a face-off between the G-Boxx 9spd vs V-Boxx (9spd)? On paper the V-Boxx as...

    G-BOXX Planetary, first pics

    It is intentional for the chain to spin during coasting enabling gear changes when not pedalling, under braking etc. And yes, some friction due to that is the price to pay. One can always use a different hub to avoid that, but I'm sure the benefits of gear changes with no pedalling are worth...

    the gearbox thread

    I read that blog before (the tech talk link) but it doesn't actually say what the G-boxx2 consists of (just what it doesn't - an internal gear hub as the previous version). So that means that there are two fundamentally different gearboxes following the same standard. Any idea of the pro and...

    the gearbox thread

    Everyone in Europe seems to be going gearbox crazy (nicolai, knox, alutech, Solid bikes, MSC, Be one, RB, MBK), but how about in the US? There is talk in another forum of Santa Cruz having a gearbox frame. Does anyone know anything that substanciates this? Those CAD pics of the orange...

    Fresh V-box pics

    Is that their own design from scratch or based on the G-Boxx (even the name is similar)

    Best DJ fork on the market?

    Didn't think about the more rigid steel uppers on DJ's transfering more stress to the crown and that being the reason for crown failure. Makes sence, and why they when for aluminium uppers after that. I think I narrowed it down to either the new Fox DJ or the tunned Z1 Sport. The Z1 Sport...

    Best DJ fork on the market?

    Cool, that is exaclty what I had in mind. When is it out? Price estimate? Is a variation of the 36Float? pictured below

    Best DJ fork on the market?

    Do you mean the 36Talas? Would it not be a "waste" for DJ? It costs a fortune and you would never use anything else other than the minimum travel setting (110mm, max-150mm).
