    Honda bike price tag!!

    So let's say it's 10 grand Now, I'll buy a M3 and a dorado fork, for about 4500. I'd then hire a renowed suspension engineer (Flooks, Bossard...) for a weekend or 2 : give or take 1500 that's 6k and my suspension would work heaps better. ah, end the internals: bogus. Ik can put a carbon...

    2006 C'Dale Prophet MX1 and MX2 (lefty-free)

    never been a fan of the Prophet because it's a single pivot. and it's soo long. As to the lefties: if they'd be affordable aftermarket, and had normal steerers i'd definately ride one. TPC+ damping is still unbeaten to me, it's lighter and stiffer than any other fork out there. And it looks...

    Noticed this complaint about BMX in Velonews

    PLEASE for the love of god, let DH never be a Olympic sport. Granted it may add to the hard earned recognition our sport deserves, but we're having more than enough trouble with UCI, let alone with IOC.

    VPX quality? (Intense quality going downhill)

    You're perfectly right but You missed my point. I do recognize the issue that these guys have. I'm not saying they don', I'm saying that so many companies have (had) similar complaints. So let's cut the crap, and play a fair game. Sure intense has issues, so do Foes, specialized, GT, Kona...

    VPX quality? (Intense quality going downhill)

    I hate to hear that there are a few issues with your frame, but It makes me sick how a bunch of people here jump the band wagon and go and slash a company not even knowing what they're talking about. I have owned 4 intenses now. None had any issue whatsoever. straight as an arrow and no...

    which is better? M3 or Turner DHR?

    other than the pedaling it has to be said that the M3 is unbelievable in rough bits. Haven't tried a turner for long enough to judge. I had an M1 before my M3, and the difference is biggest on real rocky, rooty chopped up terrain. It gave me so much more confidence over the M1 that i find the...

    Why buy Chris King?

    so this post has cost you how much? That said: Why King? Why XTR when LX does the job perfectly allright too? Or is there a difference after all? I know it takes me 3 LX derailers before I've issues with an XTR. More or less the same reasoning behind the king. I've Two kings, one in a DH...

    New fork on Intense M1 2000/2001

    who says boxxers are so high maintenance? A bunch of my friends ride them and change the oil only once a year. If that's too much manintenance one shouldn't be riding an M1 in the first place. Race bikes do need to be looked after. 888 will make the bike front heavy, lift the BB high up...

    Dorado question.

    Talk to Martijn Kevin, He'll sort you out. Maybe you need lighter oil, or the shim stack cleaned after it has been sitting in the shop. He can also change the shim stack for you, so you'll be allright. any riding planned, mate?

    World Cup Round 2: Germany

    Yo Partsbara and Hydro man. Maybe i'll be there. Love to, but seeing people ride will make me want to ride too much. Chances are that i'll be off to bad wildbad after a few hours. If not that, we'll have good fun with Beer bongs and a flood of Jupiler. Best of all: with the new Winterberg...

    Goggle recommendations?

    I'm using the Smith Warps for 3 years now. They're perfect. Fit, view, anti-fog it's all tops. Replacement lenses are dead cheap here in europe. And the variety on offer is more than you need. I currently use some kind of polariod lens. Which is the dog's bollocks. It's clear but cut's the UV...
