It's interesting that the new Commencal dh bike is now a more traditional low pivot.

Epic intro 🙂

Hint: look on ebay. My buddy and I got my xx1 setup for under 1000.

I 've got a recon rack which holds the bike in the same position. I have friends with ns racks as well.

Basically you just take your allen key (or the lever provided) put in in the hole, turn it, push post down, remove key from hole, Release post. It's pretty easy.

So far I've had great luck with it. I do the blurp thing maybe once a month or less. But I can totally see that happening over time.

Bike Yoke 💗

any word on whether crud to mud is still happening?

Yes it is, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

my wreck fits on newer nsracks, but not older ones.

Rear tire isn't great, 2.3 magic mary touches the seat tube on hard hits.

If I'm reading this correctly you can't get a job because you signed a contract saying you can not work for another company in the same industry within a year of leaving?

My understanding this kind of agreement isn't legal and doesn't hold up in court. You may want to talk to a lawyer.

I've had 2 9point8's.. both had issues.

Have the bike yoke 185 now. It's doing quite well.

What were your issues?

Both lose air pressure over time. My buddy has the same issue.

The stanchion was getting scored on one of the units. Apparently a burr or something sharp in the internals.. I assumed some grit had gotten in there.

Inconsistent lever throw, sometimes lots of flop before disengaging the brake, sometimes really tight. My buddy had major issues with this to the point that he couldn't engage the brake.

One came with a missing foam wiper. Customer service wasn't super helpful when I brought this up.

And personal preference, I don't think the head allows me to tilt the nose of my saddle down enough with today's slack seat tubes. But I have long legs and run a pretty extreme angle. Customer service told me to go get a bike fitting.

I was having the same issue with shimano pedals.. 

I'm now on time atac mx8. More float. Less blowing out.
