Oh.. I guess that just the holes on the back plate of an MRP guide i'm looking at, not the ring.Evel Monkey said:Is it just me, or does the front ring look tiny???

Peat >>> :mumble: :mumble:Acadian said:I think Peat just had a taste of Karma today...he got beat by one of those "French skin suit wearing fagg0ts" as he referred to them!!
No sh!t. I'm watching that thinking "now here's a 4x course where a mountain bike has an advantage......finally".WheelieMan said:Thats how a 4X course should be, Im glad someone finally figured it out.
Yes exactly! Theres a reason why mountain bikes have suspension. Why not take advantage of it? Im tired of all the lame 5 foot vertical drop courses that could be ridden on road bikes (snowmass). This is MOUNTAIN BIKING! I hope course designers here in the US are paying attention...kidwoo said:No sh!t.

Trond said:OMG! Did you see Carter pass everyone on that one turn?!!
a skinsuit is a HUGE advantage ont he proper course. Ask Kovarik about this...biker3 said:Its also good to see most big names giving up skin suits. Cmon this is DH its our own breed thats like roadie crap. BTW what was up with Peat talking to skinsuit trash and then busting one out last year at worlds? Its obviously not that much of an advantage consider Peat was up a full second on Barel until he had his digger. BTW who won juniorworlds?
The point about kovarik is that he lost ona few occasions by a thousandth of a second or 2. That is wearing a skinsuit, sinetad of wearing a stupid looking baggy outfit.biker3 said:Next time I see and talk to kovarik ill ask him, but until then I think its lame and just getting WAY too over the top . Winning is important but you shouldn't have to jump in a 1 piece skinsuit and be a hypocrit (Steve Peat) because your worried the other guy in the suit will win. DH isn't the same as road riding and cross country, baggy shorts and jerseys have become a part of the sport and it should stay that way IMO. Riders should just use an unwritten rule when it comes to that or something?
