    Frankenbrakes and brake improvement discussion

    Been thinkin' for a while now to upgrade my old M665 SLX's.. just not enough power for real riding which is causing arm pump aaand makking for less control. I've had my eye on the Zee's for a while as well, but after reading various sources of similar information, i figured why not save some...

    Procore

    I was actually thinking of doing the same. Did some searching and a good choice would be a 26" tire for stationary trainers. Aaaand, it could come out half the price of the procore system. Still though, that funky dual direction valve makes a lot of sense..

    2015 Canfield Jedi or 2015 Trek Session 9.9 650b

    If nobody uses this as a signature/quote then something is very wrong with the world! And, the same goes for if the OP doesn't get the Canfield :p

    Some of the rarer DH companies...

    Exactly, everyone who had ridden the bikes knows what i'm talking about. It really is a shame the designs fell through the floor boards. The problems that needed to be fixed were seriously minor flaws that required the least bit of tweaking in a ver.2 design, but they were there and they...

    Some of the rarer DH companies...

    hmmm... Personally i'd like to see some of the cooler and more radical designs come back and/or make it: And of course: Lotta good stuff capitalism managed to snuff out.

    Vallnord DHI 2013...

    imHo.. Gwin said it himself, the bike was great for him on bmx type tracks in the US. Put that super low pivot on a rough european track and there you have it.. hopefully the inevitable demise of the big S's over marketed FSR design!!

    blown rc4??

    Get it warrantied asap. My friend had this happen to him on his SX trail. At one moment behind me i heard a loud noise, figured a rock jumped up and hit his frame, but several seconds later i heard my friend screaming like a madman.. turned around expecting to see a broken leg or something...

    How much sag are you running?

    Corsair Crown , Roco WC low leverage tune and 5wt oil.. very linear suspension Running the 10.5" shock @ 200mm travel 26% sag (250lb spring) .. great with a SC fork for poppy fun riding, works out well with the linear suspension.. usually this isn't enough sag for me on more progressive...

    Limiting the stoke on an RC4

    Personally, when the RC4 came out, i was extremely stoked with the performance compared to the old DHX 5. I refuse to limit my stoke! :p

    Night riding light options

    Looks like the same lamp i posted in the original post. Probably gonna go that route. Other reviews say that its very under-driven, netting something under 1500 lumens, which by looking at pictures of the beam looks like a LOT of light. Also they seem to run generally just warm with no chance...

    Night riding light options

    Nice option as well. I've looked at pics of 1x clones as well, and i'm pretty sure that one 3x clone is much much more light, so at the moment that seems like the best option for me. Unless someone has a better option! :D

    Night riding light options

    I'm on the hunt for lighting solutions and figured someone on here might have some useful info. I'm looking at grabbing one of these 3x XML clones which seem to be pretty solid. http://dx.com/p/ultrafire-sky-3-x-cree-xm-l-t6-2000lm-4-mode-white-bicycle-lamp-black-silver-4-x-18650-961173167...

    Plow bikes

    the OP seems to love his Session.. why change it!!? Call up elka, push, avy or whoever you like, and get the suspension working the way you want. The Session is NOT a low pivot.. the axle path isn't as shallow as you might think. Heck the main pivot is about 36 tooth chainring height isn't it...

    Cam Zink on Hyper bikes. WTF?

    Sad to hear that the old Corsair bikes aren't being refined and going into production again. They were just a few small steps off from perfect. Loved my Maelstrom and my friend is now loving it as well, and my Crown is serving me just fine. I was actually hoping Hyper might revive something of...
