@Jewbacca Please rank the below suspension from best to worst. Only interested in why you think one is top and why the bottom is the bottom as we wait for the men. 

Fox

RockShox

Suntour

Marzocchi.

Ps, and which to avoid like the plague. 

 

The one to avoid is any of the above with a "brain"

Same. I'm super happy to see him confident enough to be back racing.

Depression, head injuries etc can be devastating. Really really stoked for him. 

I'm pretty sure he is a far more humble dude these days too.

Box is an understatement... He has now fought through injuries that would of ended careers of many. Definitely seems grounded!

Gaze looks to be a different person. More mature. Sometimes setbacks make your introspect. Let's hope he stays like this.

Oh another note, I'm not sure what Rob and Bart have against Alan. They'll mention everyone else in the top 10 and even top 20 except Alan.

I dig those wheels and I think that bike looks like a race bike. Ann Terpstra has been rocking something similar for a while re wheels.

If you're racing to race, you don't care what your bike looks like if it's performance and marginal gains you're chasing. 

You even forego comfort and occasionally long term reliability. 

Looks are probably 29th on the list of importance when it comes to racing.

Couch critics seem to be obsessed with how things look as opposed to how things perform for 90 minutes. For us, it's probably important as a bike you like is a bike you want to ride, but for these guys they will ride regardless and their race bike is almost definitely not their favourite bike.

It's their fastest bike

Bloody Philistine 🤪

They did mention him-just didn’t sing his name like they do the others though.
