Bikes for Enduro... The restart

[T-Bob]

There are test bikes at the Hanger as far as I know.

 

Humm.... might need to swing past there this week. Was looking at a carbon Tracer 2 the other day that someone was selling and trying my best to ignore it.

come on .. be honest here ... you are secretly looking how to hack your Spaz to work with this fork

The idea makes a lot of sense and the bike probably performs great

 

BUT as soon as you have to go through 36 bearings to look for A creak / or replace 36 bearings you may want A conventional bike 

 

 

36 is probably way more than there actually is I count 14 + 2 sets of headset bearings 

at least you no longer have the following issues...

Agreed, but still think it has a future, if they ever get it off the ground. Think of all the effort put into rear suspension while the front gets the same treatment with minor tweaks year after year...

 

I think the major advantage along with increased torsional rigidity is the HTA effect - it doesn't reduce under braking and on descents like a conventionally forked bike.
