The pad fit designs are limited today. Urge is a brand that uses it as well. They just dropped a new design. Sad part is they don,t ship to North America. Not sure when this started as I have own one of their helmets. MEC used to carry them.

I think this is the 1st Mips design. I would try, no dials or adjusting bands. Slip fit pads that are sizable . Might have to check one out.

This just went to the top of my list. Long time user of this brand

Cool will have to check one out. Relocating in a month or two. So looks like it will be out of Loops for a dealer. Hope they have stock. If not I can order direct thru URGE .

So no Mips or similar?? If so I gotta try one on . I don,t like the retention designs as of late. One of the reasons I still use my URGE. It,s a slip fit design and is very comfy.

Really curious of the age group. That are feeling the affects of these now offensive names. What rock did they just crawl out of that enlightened them?

Those out pruning and raking. Safe true builders tons of time!!! Check out C.U.N.T. at Bear most Tuesdays.

BC has a new guy looking over stuff. They are taking longer and are stricter than they where in the past. There are 2 hills in the valley that have been waiting for Section 56. Projects require sketches and drawings of structures and better descriptions than before. In some ways it,s overkill and someways it,s the right thing to do. I hope to get a few more sessions in with the crew. I,m relocating this fall so time for a new spot and building buddies.

My grip of choice on Renthal carbons, no glue. Just blasted on with air. Yay they rotate overtime. But never once had throttle grip. They are also 3 seasons old. Very durable when compared to ESI and the likes.

I will get some images and a link. One of the Norco racers used to use them for travel. Duane said he could fit a spare wheel(26" of course LOL) in the bag if packed properly.

The bag is bigger that I remembered. I used it for DH racing trips. Could fit a full Gladiator suit. Spare knee and elbow pads. Fullface and halfshell. Your tools, couple water bottles. Wet and dry outfits, plus your clothes.Couple pairs of shoes. Sandy was a hockey brat, played goalie. So he was used to gear bags. He and Christine did a killer job IMO.

Trials bike also don,t see the lean angles. That dirt bike and MTB,s see on the trail.

Going back to the inserts. These have peaked me the most. See how more like them as they get out there.

I only just realised that they are doing tubeless systems now. They only did the versions with tubes last time I looked. Half the price of Cush Core. Interesting to see the reviews. Has anyone seen any?

$90 for the pair . They are sold out.

"Claudio fell in love with that bike because it allows him to climb any hill at ridiculous speeds while giving him the feeling of being on a downhill bike on the way back down".

MORE POWER!!!! when did he jump to Specialized??

I had a quick look at the leverage curve charts. The Range is actually quite progressive and should work well with a coil.  The Patrol is less so, around the same ball park as the Stump evo.

Although leverage curve is very important,  the shock's compression tunes now also add another variable.  

So at the end you need to look at the overall sum of the parts and how they all play together. 

I trust Transition have gone coil because of a defined performance benefit, they as a company are pretty good with not following the trends generally speaking.  I mean at the end of the day they gave us modern slack geo with decreased offset forks which they pretty much cobbled together in their garage to R&D

The new Norco Sights look like perfect candidates for a coil swap. The new Transition Scout too

I read that the Norco Sights need a custom tune due to the high leverage rate, is this true? Why would the Sight be a good candidate for a coil?

FYI Norco team uses a coil sprung Sight. Check the other site . Some info there.

Already beginning. Norco has a increased wattage and duration battery up grade. Get out and shred those loamers .

As for the ebike scooters. Had a close call with one on the Mission Bridge. Middle of the road , pitch black out. Doing 30km with a tiny led tail light. No helmet either. He switched to the side walks after .

I have a coil fork and shock on my FS biker [Guerrilla Gravity Smash] they are great. I just sold my older FS bike which was dual air and it had great suspension as well. I have no immediate plans to buy another FS bike, but if you threw a bunch of money at me today I'd get a short travel 29er built up light with dual air suspension. Both types of springs are found in excellent suspension products today. I don't see a clear winner. I'd pick air or coil as I considered the overall package every time I got a new bike.

Air still leaks over time I find. Coil set-it and leave it. If you need a climb switch for your air shock. IMO one should just go coil. I still prefer the coil on my 120mm bike. Ya it could be lighter . But so could I hahaha :)

Do they offer a hi-top of that shoe? I,m in need of new shoes. Both mine are 5yrs old now. Shimano GR901,s are on the list. I have older AM7,s and they are the bomb in the wet. The lace cover help keep water out.

Damn shoes got spendy LOL. They do have a hi-top. Jensen lists them at $230 CDN. The Shimano are similar price, but the last pair lasted 5yrs. And where my primary shoe. 5/10,s where the back up,s .

Curious to see the durability of the shoes , not much toe protection as well.

Real question for me. How is it gonna be to remove down the road if needed. This is BC moisture gets everywhere over time. Also lots of threads . Dirt loves threads LOL.
