Capricorn Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 interesting comment made about how it can be 'expected' to have data acquisition running for every WC race now during practice. Track specific tuning, at world cup level? oh **** yes. and i quote "... trek can keep its hot box.."
Stretch Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Cam Cole Crash footage. from the youtube comments....eish "just to say i was here, after the wood. With the redbull camera you don't see the Cam's head hitting very hard against a tree.... so hard.."

Skott5 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 so much for red bulls video feed - i still can access it - giving me an error message Yip, gave up eventually !
Stretch Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Yip, gave up eventually ! very odd...i had no issues..maybe one of the 1st tier internet providers was having issues...i was on Saix and no issues at all
nigelhicks Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 ok got to see the final guys runs - Remi's run was insane ... he tore that bottom section apart like a piece of toilet paper in a shredder ... Looking at his pace vs Mr Minn and Gee and them ... they didnt stand a chance .... and as for that line he took into the bottom cliff drop ... WELL ... talk about just going straight ... not even Hill could manage it ... What a run!

Capricorn Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 hahahaha "man up" i say ... hahahaha Sam sort of tried it but then still went wide ... that inside to inside line of Remi's was amazing yasis, did u just tell Sammo to man-up??? SACRILEGE!!! Remi's been promising some insane stuff in the past two races this year. That huck at vds was just mental. i think someone over at VitalMTB named that section of track after him.

Capricorn Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) damn, loving the preciseness of the data logging setup, and the collab between the makers of the frames and suspension. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb9894237/p5pb9894237.jpg http://lp3.pinkbike.org/p1pb6168857/p1pb6168857.jpg This is the digital output of the datalogging, they are measuring wheel speed, travel used, acceleration and the composure of the bike. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb9894222/p5pb9894222.jpg http://lp3.pinkbike.org/p1pb6168857/p1pb6168857.jpg After the first day of data logging, Arthur the Bos technician realised they were going to need a larger air volume in the rear. A quick call to the factory in Toulouse and one late night shift for an engineer later new air cans were with the team. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb9894235/p5pb9894235.jpg http://lp3.pinkbike.org/p1pb6168857/p1pb6168857.jpg Production versions of these bikes come with a solid brace there, but at the request of Bos the race bikes are machined out to give the bikes a bit more flex in the rear end. rest over here Edited July 29, 2013 by Capricorn
