Sounds verrrrry scientific and your methodology seems sound...

Keep it in the middle and you should be fine....momentum is your friend!....and rememeber I'm watching you....

Cruz Tallboy?

Ok the deal is...if you don't slow down for us....I will tell your wife what your bike REALLY cost!

I find the fact that we are discussing this quite sad...

Best set up based on what you describe is Mountain King front, Race king back OR put 2 Racing Ralph's on F&B

Nice machine...is that going to be used more for downhill....?

there fixed..

Schwalbe UST Nobby Nic - front 2.2bar Schwalbe UST Racing Ralph - back 2.5bar Weigh 96kg's on a carbon DS. Funnily enough the sidewall states that min is 2.5bar

Not good!....NOW how are we supposed to keep up or slow you down!? ACE rig - here's to many crash free rides

fastbike...one can only deduce that as the inventor of brighter-lights i.e probably an electrial engineer or the like...you should hire a marketing person to help you get your product into the market, and not by trying to see how many lights failed but rather by testimonials of how good your kit is!....you should quit while you're NOT ahead! My 10c <- inflation..

No doubt SLX for the win! - looks good, great value, stiffness and cheap to run (rings, BB, etc) and I think only 40g heavier than the XT...

Schwalbe or Geax. Not sure of the best place to find them locally...

I only stop and help people that have saddlebag's....

I have no issue with bar ends on risers...helluva comfy on things like the cruise, etc... The issue I would say is that someone , somewhere got told (probably by someone he idolises) that bar ends on a riser are for kids/non pro's/amatuers....that person took it personally and now makes it his lifelong ambition to make this into some kind of unsaid rule/law by sniggering at anyone who wants to or is thinking of doing it, regardless of the fact that they will have more hand postions to use and may in fact ride more....said person will then tell you to get a flat bar if you want bar ends...Lord knows why flat bars qualify for bar ends and not risers....I suspect if the Pro's don't do it then nobody should be doing it...blah blah...! Whoohoo it's Fri!

probably from Jullliiiaaaas!...sorry

What he said

taking it slow,....Yeah riiiiight! I'll probably have you sucking my wheel after you lit the fuse and redlined to catch me....

I'm in E at 6:56....going to be a nice cool first hour... anyone else..?

...and remember I'm watching you...

there are no dumb questions....only dumb answers. 10 people probably learned something from that question.

The trick is to take the weight slightly off both arms as you get the first arm off that position - if you only unweight one arm as you sit up or go down - the obvious will happen....can get the pucker value up around 7 or 8/10 as your bike dives in the direction of the weighted arm...!

Let me correct you here... A boer maak a plan...hy roep a engelsman!

and remember.....I'm watching you!

I only see one issue and that's the spelling of Chop....
