How bout some news on the Santa Cruz V8. Is it for real or what?
It's INTERBIKE time!!!
Proto at Whistler at the weekend. Looks like s mini V-10.

The V8 (or whatever it will be called) wasn't at dirt demo and they won't be inside the Sands so perhaps the bike isn't ready for public consumption just yet.
What do you mean it ain't ready!!!!!
I pay taxes!And damnit, I is ready for it!
aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
thx for looking
I want to know about developments of transmission systems other than the derailleur.

I always get a laugh out of Gary Fisher's crazy outfits. See if you can get a photo or two of him, preferably with a typical booth babe for comic effect.
Shimano Alfine for FR/DH?

Here's more from Dirt Demo from me.
We'll also have posts shortly from Fergs, Pete Roggeman and Ed Snyder.
You should see if you can score a free Dakine pack to give away to a trailbuilder….or something.
Nice writing Pete. Your intro was really creative. Small mistake in the caption - you said Slayer where you probably wanted to say Altitude

Even better - I've scored a second one so I'm giving away two. Hopefully that will make it worth the wait for the lucky s.o.b.s who win.
I'd like to see as many 4"-6" trail bikes as possible, preferably the really really light ones.
Side note: I think I almost puked on that exact Lambo when I was in Vegas. Those things are so low that it was hidden on the other side of a planter when I just missed it with my vomit stream. Would have looked better covered in my puke than in that yellow colour.
I might have gotten beat up if I did hit it, I hear that that Mayweather guy can hit.
edit: I wanna see Super Record stuff as well
That Demo does look pretty, whoever ends up riding it. Can't that person do their other paintjobs?

he never wears the name tag interbike issues either
I have a really, really big problem with this comment:
"Sporting a whopping 76 degree seat angle, the Altitude is designed to settle into an optimum pedaling position after suspension squat is accounted for, rather than before. It's funny, but not many bikes are designed this way…"
This suggests so many things that are just so wrong.
1) This suggests that no other suspension designers take suspension sag into account.
2) This suggests that most "all-mountain" bikes (including Rocky Mountains) are cruising around with seat angles that are 7-8 degrees too slack.
Honestly. When was the last time you rode a bike and thought "Man, this bike is awesome, I just wish the seat tube was 8 degrees steeper."
Seat angle is such a floating point anyhow. Seatpost offset, position on the rails, etc. etc. all throw this number out of whack. My suspicion is that Rocky decided on a really steep seat angle to create some space for rear wheel travel and decided on some sort of backstory to compensate.
And why no such compensation on the front end as well? Oh ya, because it's BULLSHIT.
