That's awesome that he is still rocking the San Andreas!  Always loved those frames.

Maybe that Sprindex adjustable rate coil spring could work.  Sprindex Adjustable Spring

Sidenote - I would LOVE to take one of these for a test ride.  I have a Yeti SB5C that I built up recently and it is possibly the best FS bike I have ever ridden.  Its so fast on the descents it's scary.  I can't imagine what this would be like.

I want to see pics of that guy's ride!

Dig the article. Cowboy Coffee rules! I contacted them about buying some of their coffee here in the US, but they don't have distribution here. They mailed me a pound for free! Best coffee I have ever had.

Also dig the old school Foes Inferno hanging in their shop!

Hell yeah! Can't imagine a better ambassador.

I was thinking the same thing…plus, it would hurt pretty bad to wipe out with it on his back.
Still a cool idea/video.

I hear about this back pedaling issue with Shark quite a bit, but I have not had that problem. Running it on a 2010 Intense attached VP. I too often backpedal to set up for a technical section or to do a pedal kick up a ledge. Shifting is smooth, love the extra range of the 50T and being able to run a 34T ring up front.

Only negative I've had is that the upgraded derailleur cage hangs very low on a 26″ bike. I've tagged it on rocks a few times already, seems to be pretty stout, but time will tell.

All in all, I think it's a great upgrade.
