Ragot out, Myriam in? I tought it was the other way around.
See: http://www.pinkbike.com/news/myriam-nicole-injury-update-2015.html
And I've not heard of Ragot having an injury at the moment.
But yeah, jackalope's pre-WC posts are the best :)
They are very predictable on the edge, I can recall only one front tire washout when running these, whereas with for example a Continental Der Baron I had multiple wipeouts because when they let go, they do it pretty suddenly. The ultimate grip in dry conditions is very good. In the wet they are...
I don't get all the hate towards front derailleurs. I used to ride for approximately 4 years without one, but last summer I put it back and have not regretted it. It's nice to be able to crawl up steep hills even when you are pretty tired and do not want to push high gears anymore.
I haven't...
Those are the specs for the 135mm/142mm hub, the 150mm dimensions are otherwise the same but the flange spacing distance is the same on both sides - 26.5 mm left, 26.5 mm right.
I don't know about the X9, but the current generation X7 rear derailleurs are the worst pieces of junk I've ever bought. They have pretty bad slop in their main pivot (the one that the derailleur hanger bolt goes through) from brand new. I warrantied my first derailleur because of that, but the...
That's strange, your opinion is the complete opposite to mine. I had to increase the rebound damping a click or two from what felt good on the parking lot bounce test. On the trail it felt nervous and bouncy until I slowed the rebound down. Now the fork feels slow on the parking lot, but really...
I had Freerider VXI Elements where one of the soles started peeling off from the middle (there was kind of a bubble under the ball of the foot). Five Ten Europe warrantied them and gave me a new pair.
I must disagree with this. The highest velocities in rebound stroke occur deep in the travel because there the spring force is the highest, thus the choking of the piston occur also deep in the travel, which is something the Rapid Recovery is advertized to prevent.
Did you two ride the Michelins in Magi-X or Gum-X compound? I've heard the Magi-X rolls really really slow, any truth in this? How about the Gum-X, does it have any grip on wet rocks and roots?
You can already shut up about the lock-on vs. regular grips, I ride both styles and do not notice a big difference. The grip thickness makes much more difference to hand comfort, too thin and my hands get cramps, too thick and I don't have enough strength to grip the bars. But this thread is not...
The Spank Vibrocore bars got me googling about injecting foam inside the handlebars. Seems like it is well used trick to reduce engine vibrations on motorcycle handlebars, but has anybody done it on their DH bike?
Does it make any difference in reducing arm pump?
I think Spank's theory about arm...
Really? Gwin seriously lacks some charisma for anyone but diehard USA fans to root for him.
I want him to win as much as Gee Atherton, which is basically zero. But they make great opponents for my favorite riders :)
