Thats the guy that used to do R&D for vitus and nukeproof bikes at CRC so id say he knows a good bit what he is on about! Be interesting to see how danny performs with this stuff!

Danny's lil custom flange to take the flex out of the hub disc mount/brake is super neat, should start selling those!!!!

If they didn't zoom out on the Norco bike I would have thought they talked to a lucky Privateer who slaps all the stickers they get at the booths at each event.

I may be late to the party but that's the first time I've seen the new Specialized frame's rear shock uncovered.

The issue at 3:06 regarding pushback, one of the easiest and most effective steps to reduce pad "knockback" as it's usually called, is relocating the caliper as close to the 3 o clock or 9 o clock position as possible. This is a very common problem on race cars.

Why those angles?
@adamchambers7502 11 күн бұрын
@@gabejames3304 itll have something to do with torsional stiffness of the arms holding the brake calipers id imagine. if you put them at 3 or 9 o clock you are no longer dealing with torsional stiffness but bending resistance along the length of the chainstay, but id imagine it causes issues for space on an MTB
@SuperBlubben 11 күн бұрын
@@gabejames3304 If you imagine how the rotor moves from the torsional force, the whole rotor will not be pushed offset to one direction, but the top of the rotor will move one way and the bottom of the rotor the other way. It will basicly tilt around the centre line of the rear axle, therefore the most physical displacement will be at the top and bottom, and the least will be at the height of the centreline paralell to where the force input comes from, the ground, where the motion basicly cancels itself out, at 9 and 3. I hope this explanation helps to understand why!

Really hope that E-Thirteen hub spurs Shimano on to release their silent clutch hub.

Mr Iles has the riding thing pretty dialed now. Next thing would be to learn how to wear a hat.

"sprung vs unsprung weight" something SRAM completely ignores for 90% plus of all trail/xc/ enduro riders the world over with their 1× system, that cassette turns your suspension in to pendulum your suspension has to deal with before it gets to do it's real job, being suspension

A wide range cassette definitely offers more performance advantage than a lighter rear wheel.

@@brandonb6164 sorry, dh bikes show the issue is serious by their design, it's a physical fact large heavy cassettes ruin the suspension, with everything going 1× many are just stuck with it, buying the lightest cassette you can get helps, but change the chain regularly and buy a chain wear indicator otherwise it will get very expensive very fast
