Nobody Posted August 31, 2011 Share Why carbon if weight is not an issue on a DH rig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traaidmark Posted August 31, 2011 Share Is it just me, but that shot angle makes that big look TINY! Almost like a toy! Nice looking bike though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelhicks Posted August 31, 2011 Share Why carbon if weight is not an issue on a DH rig? Weight is an issue ... the DH rigs are getting down to 16kg flat with carbon - but the main reason is also for stiffness and strength ... the Carbon bikes are 10 times stronger than their alu counterparts. This allows for sharper handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted August 31, 2011 Share Nige, do you know whether that's Sam's or Troy's bike? I see it's running (what look like) CB Mallet pedals. That's why I ask?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Omega Man Posted August 31, 2011 Share Saw a pic of Andrew Neethling in 5.10's too. I don't think we can even imagine how steep that track is. Next year I will be paying a visit tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
