Someone give us a ride report after riding some really chattery stuff with alot of braking bumps. I want to know if there really is alot of vibration damping with the carbon bar.
No I'm alright, thanks. I wasn't building the bike to be the lightest out there, it just turned out really light somehow.
Edit: I drove a few hours yesterday to ride somewhere that is actually rocky, and surprisingly the tires help up well. The bike is a little different getting used to it, but...
I might have been better off with the butcher sx, I guess I'll have to find out. but as for DH tires, which I have waiting, it depends where I'm riding. There's not a whole lot of really consistent rocky stuff around here.

Does that have anything to do with this thread? :confused:
clicked wrong thread maybe? haha

What a shock, err surprise. Can that thing actually hold up to the stress a DH bike goes through?
The SS? How much does that thing weigh in at Cliffy? Just wondering.
I'm building up a V10c and I'll hopefully have it done in time for Sea Otter. I was thinking, since the course is so smooth and full of jumps and berms, that I might try to run it in the 8.5 travel setting for different jumping and pumping characteristics, and for a lower bottom bracket. If I...
Both are great brakes, I've used both and it really depends how much modulation you want. Personally I like how the saints have less modulation and more immediate, go big or go home power, but many people do not.
