tested with a friend of mine trials rims on a DH bike (44mm wide rear) with tubes. Problem is that the tire is not as round as it used to be on a narrower rim ( a high-roller is almost square edged in the section). When you lean into the turn the bike will not turn as it used to. Has to do with inner/outer tire diameter ratio. My point: rims alone will not do it. Tire profile will have to change too.
why do they still use those huge ring / cog? can save some weight there. shorter chain, better clearance...
Save 200g with a pair of new pedals (titanium spring saves you 100). point1 podium look very nice (and i should be supporting the european manufacturers), specialized new pedals too, i think I'm gonna buy these, just because my SC pedals took the worst beating (incl 3mm deep stone cuts) on a low BB demo for two years with races (60+ bikepark days per season) and still work like new. ok... the bushings have a play but they spin better. pinns cut like hell but don't bend like those cheap bolts everyone else is putting on pedals. ok I said enough...
This is PORN!
yes I might have repeated myself a bit ;) I took the liberty to give something back to the comunity that otherwise will easily be influenced by the uncensored and biased internet of these days
@mikelevy: it was like 7 years ago where my skills and knowledge were nowhere. the fork just compressed (undampened) and sent me flying over the bars. I believe it is irresponsible to produce something like this. entry level should mean safety and quality
at the expense of weight and settings
no break for them. Producing forks without damping for the last years it's like producing car shocks without damping. people will get injured. do this on a large scale and you have SR-Suntour. a pogo-stick company that discovers damping 10 years later than all others
SR Sutour financed their R&D by producing high quantities of very low quality stuff that put a lot of people into the hospital ( including me). If this company would be the last suspension fork company on earth I would ride Schladming on a rigid fork.
you're right. let the cockroaches ride it
yeah. over ten years of producing pogosticks. I broke my collarbone because of a sr crap fork. no damping just 2 springs (one on each side). they'll never see my money again and I'll make sure no friend of mine will ever buy anything like that. If they were to offer me sponsorship I would lough in their face. boohoo!!
very nice. truely amazing and inspiring.
Please build a 9 or 10 speed 9-21T or 9-23T for the 4x-er and downhiller among us!
Shoot the crazy DT-Swiss SRAM 9T duck with one shot.
Also make the 2 biggest cogs removable and eventually replaceable with a specialized demo style chain guide plate.
A lot of us are using Hope Pro 2 rear hubs. I'll be one of the first to buy one. About Us
