Essential to SST development was exploring the limits of manufacturing technology and applying it to build a light stiff and strong steel bike.

Rochshox inline coil? That sure looks like the RS rebound adjuster at the top.
Ooh, that looks interesting! Do i have your permission to make an article on it? I can give you credit

You do realize he said he was trolling you on another page right?

I wonder why they are moving from VPP. Is it just a packaging thing, or wonder if it's in any way connected to the Knolly bullshit

Pretty sure they just wanted to do HP and there’s no way to get an HP on VPP without infringing on certain patents. I may be out to lunch but pretty sure that’s why.

Just checked out the split times from Windrock and while Gwin was in 2nd place until flatting, Norton had a good margin. Apparently they are riding different prototypes.

Honestly though if I know anything about Gwin’s strategy it’s often to sandbag until race day.

It’ll be interesting to watch this team going forward.
