    DH Platform Pedals: Pins vs threaded screws

    Get a pair of these: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/ca/en/nukeproof-electron-flat-pedals-2014/rp-prod85858 Then go buy some longer screws, they aren't too hard to find and they are cheap. You will have a light weight, grippy, low profile pedal that doesn't catch on rocks for a very low...

    any team rumours nonsense this year

    I think you are forgetting that Hill won multiple world cups and the world cup overall in his first year with specialized. Then the next year managed to come fifth at the first race in Maribor WITH a crash and then blew up and destroyed his shoulder at Fort William. That injury put him out for a...

    2013 Specialized DEMO 8 Carbon OR 2012 Trek Session 9.9?

    Try going up to a 450lbs spring, slow down your rebound to taste and then back high and low speed compression right off.

    2013 Specialized DEMO 8 Carbon OR 2012 Trek Session 9.9?

    Awesome stuff in 2013

    I can't think of a single concentric BB bike that has ever needed to be pedaled well. It's a slope style bike..........

    Tyre cutting help please

    Usually to lower rolling resistance while still keeping the positive properties of a tire. For example in wet conditions most racers will run a cut down mud spike tire because they need something to penetrate mud and not get clogged up (which mud tires do really well) but they also need a fast...

    How TO ride a bike

    I think you have it the wrong way around. Mid pack DH racer = Enduro podiums for daaaaayz. Edit: I probably should have read the post above before posting but it reinforces the point.

    When will the new Fox 40 air be available?

    I'm going to wait for a few months before throwing any money at these. Would prefer not to get fisted with first gen issues.

    You Go Girl!

    After reading the facts section of that document; Giant are a bunch of ****wits and I hope DW sticks it to them. How you can get away with not paying people what is owed blows my mind.
