This is pretty heavy... Praying for you and your family Stevie. RIP buddy.

I'd buy it just because of the how it's made music used in the product release video

@jaame: that's what I heard

@vinay: Tahnee crashed too.

and on top of the expenses, you'd have to readapt to the compromises every time you switched the bike. If heaven exists, we'll all go there, and we can shred together on an endless trail with a bike that is perfect in every way hehe. I'd take time out of my eternity to share some shredding with you. Until then all we can do is be passionate about what we love and make the most out of what we got! Glad we shared this dialogue, my friend.

I know, you should take a rest. Here's why it's not a contradictory statement: the values of anti-squat are 100% at the point in your wheel travel that you are going to be pedaling at, but since david weagle is kind of an engineering genius he was able to limit the PK to 2-4 degrees at that point in the travel. The anti squat dives steeply for when the drivetrain is not going to be engaged because of the gnargnar and big hits. You don't pedal through the rough stuff if you're riding like you mean it. The PK is greater even though the anti squat is lower, but that's just what happens when you go through a lot of travel. That increase is MINIMIZED through engineering! I can't really explain how DW managed that, my brother probably could. But look at the values. He did what you state is impossible. It's really for real. I am not arguing with you I am informing you, you are the only one who believes you have an argument. edit - sorry I didn't give you this one in the end. I had a change of heart.

is 2-4 degrees something you can honestly consider high? Ok then, I'll give you this one.

It's cool, we're only talking about bikes. You're the one who dismissed the values we were referring to. Sorry you made a mistake, don't worry too much about it. I shouldn't have called you an ignorant bloke either. Sorry for that buddy.

Thanks for the thoughtful interview Gee!!

your frame did get wrecked lol(sorry about your bike man, hope it holds up), and you also say "modern carbon is stupid strong and much more reliable". Nobody is saying it is indestructible, but it's the sickest material available for the sport's demands and stresses. Name one material that surpasses carbon, in consideration of every aspect of bike design/manufacturing/use. It's amazing and we should just be so stoked that carbon is becoming the standard for top end DH frames. Nobody thought it would be strong enough for DH, and now we have carbon DH frames with lifetime warranties.
