nice bike
Nad you guys have no idea how nice this thing is in person, and it's stupid light, puts my SX to shame(and IT is 32.5 lbs)
K budy you don't know what you're talking about obviously, and read closer, I was talking about WEIGHT. BTW I have an SX, not SX trail
Except the pedaling no good. And I dont want some stupid retort, I know what I am talking about. All ABP does is fix your braking. But I do agree that Trek's styling is very nice.
doesnt matter much about any slopsetyle bike techonlogy,this bike is designed to soak up one bump at a time. thats all a slopestyle course is. for dh you can start to get all into technology, as far as slopsestyle goes i honestly would give it to kona they have a fullsuspesion designed to be single speed so you drop cables and the weight off all the drivetrain.
actually... look really close i dont think they are elixirs...
it sorta looks like the cr but i think its a juicy carbon look for the pad contact nob

hey sumas-shredder? if you read it closely, pretty sure that i said discs and not the actual brake smart ass
but why a biiger rotor man?,he doesnt need any special stoping he needs a lighter bike to control. things like smaller discs etc adds up to save alot of weight.for this bike bigger rotors would acctualy be a disidvantage and pointless.
dude, if your getting so into the details.. how much weight is a bigger rotor going to add to your bike? what, 10-15 grams at most? If you think its too heavy for you... start to work out!
you might need it if you thnk adding bigger rotors makes your big much heavier. Ya it might be pointless but thats really up to the rider.

your idea is stupid and pointles,theres a reason theres 6 in rotors,ofcourse he could still ride the bike with 8 inch rotors,but it would be stupid and pointless!!
if u actually go through and add up all the little things u do to save weight, it comes out to alot, its not about how strong u are, its just about convenience, why work out at the gym when u could be spending the time riding ur bike anyway
he doesn't use his brakes often enough, or brake hard enough to warrant 8" disc brakes. He's smooth. And yeah. when you save 20-30 grams in heaps of places... it makes a huge difference.
Are you actually kidding!!!???? First off, that's not even what they were talking about, and second, THAT IS HIS SHIFTER
yeah actually its a Sram xo shifter, you can clearly see the carbon fiber, graet idea, and yeah theres no gyro, just pre-spinned cables
ITS AN X0 SHIFTER, END OF STORY.
look familiar???

Try and tell me he's going to tailwhip/barspin with a cable that short... He'd kink his rear cable. Cam has the exact same set-up with the shifter on the frame. Its a hydro gyro, hydro gyros don't look the same as regular gyros too.
his cable is simply pre-wund around the headset... like he spun it and didint re-wind it around.. thats why it looks like a hydro gyro..
and, christ, its pretty obvious that thats an x.o shifter on his downtube...
and lastly, atomlab has an hydraulic gyro, and so does Trixter, some euro company.

clearly a hydro gyro if you look at other pictures of bike at whistler, fail for who neg propped and ride12.

it prevents cable stretch on his derailluer cable, so he barely ever has to tune his derailuer, like 20 thousand other ppl have said already, its to keep it out of the way
the point of the shifter is that u dont have a shit load of cabels runing around and thats his slope style bike so he duznt need every gear
"the point of the shifter is that u dont have a shit load of cabels runing around and thats his slope style bike so he duznt need every gear"
surely he should do single speed then ?
lol

yes but you could put a chain tensioner, but the only weight u would drop would be from the carbon XO shifter, so u might as well just stay with the gears
it depends on the course, style, and sectionof the course. He might want to switch gears like two or three times. Either way that looks pretty hardcore.

wow he has I.S.P. like on a road bike. thats interesting. (integrated seatpost). Atleast it looks it or thats just one fatass quick realease clamp
[Reply]
why doesnt he have the hydro-gyro on there? Cam was showed me his at crankworx last year at the trek booth, its pretty impressive haha.
Your almost all stupid
its a frame mounted SHIFTER
Theres no hydrolic gyro.
And the new treks have a better linkage system than specialized because the pivot is not around the AXEL thus making it way better.

You're also stupid, no one thinks the shifter on the frame is a "hydrolic" gyro... they're actually talking about a hydraulic gyro which is located under the stem and ontop of the headset. It's hard to tell if it's on in this pic but him and Cam both have them now.

you no why im confuced, cas trek has too dj/slopestyle riders but they dont make a slopestyle bike for the public cas based of that i would buy one the first chance i got plus then they wouldnt have cam and semenuk advertising bikes that dont egsist to anyone exsept them!!! in other words, please trek release something like that for sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by the way there are hydro-gyro's out there.
there's a german company (the same that make the quad brakes) that have gyros and semenuk does have hydro-gyro's

you're right trickstuff was the first company to produce a hydro-gyro called "Trixer"

ok ur stupid....we're not talking about the frame mounted shifter, we're talking about the object just under the stem and above the headset, the ways the cables r run its hard to tell wether its a hydro gyro, we all know the thing on the frame is a Sram XO shifter, just shutup and maybe try to process the commments for a little longer before responding

ok it's a remedy with custom geometry and lowered travel he has a hydro gyro and he mounted the shifter to the frame END OF COMMENTS!!
