Riffle is such a flaming d-bag. Stupid mustache, always trying to get media coverage. Giant made big moves with Danny Hart and Needles, but I have no idea why they kept this wahoo...

Duncan Riffle is a great rider, really good at developing bikes. Most people don't recall his career achievements as he's been on the scene for a while, check out his riding when he was on Honda/Iron Horse, again he was a key developer back then in the whole DH air shock business. He may not be on the WC podium at the moment, but he's got the skills!

I think there should be more facial hair on the DH scene, I personally sport a handlebar moustache.

i have really dumb question?how do they transport that HQ to the world cup rounds?
or maybe they have rolling HQ van every country?

kusa (Apr 20, 2011 at 3:03)

I think what i saw in Europe is that they have one for Europe and one for US. For the rest they probaly mostly use the local truck of the dealer or something like this

miralas (Apr 20, 2011 at 8:48)

they all have their own sponsors for parts, so no matter which frame they ride, they are still going to use the products their sponsors give them

miralas comes out of left field with that one......

such a logistical nightmare to deal with huh?especially with big hitters with big ass tents they look like circus!

and they are circus cuz they have lots of clowns with too!performing tricks on bikes.

I know there is no difference between the frame of the Glory 01 and Glory 00, but why do Giant's team riders bother to ride with the Glory 01 frame if it isn't the top of the range frame? Surely they can ride with the Glory 00 frames if they want to, can't they? I didn't watch the video so don't flame me if I missed something...

Eyon (Apr 20, 2011 at 6:10)

I havent watched it either but i guess its 'cos the 00 is a horrible colour and the 01 is one of the best looking bikes out there at the moment?

thecarpy (Apr 20, 2011 at 7:19)

I would guess that it is simply because he likes the colors better, and it matches Giants team colors also.

pudding (Apr 20, 2011 at 12:04)

or it could be because the part spec on the 01 is all sram where as the 00 is fox/shimano(not their sponsors)

p-romano (Apr 20, 2011 at 16:14)

They just ride it because it for aesthetics. Looks way better and is Giant blue.

GyroShock (Apr 20, 2011 at 22:05)

That's also what I thought at first that the frame's colours fit better with the Giant name. Thanks.

p-romano (Apr 20, 2011 at 23:15)

and to add to it. pudding has a good thought but it has nothing to do with that. they ran these frames at the end of last year when they were still shimano/fox

HAR1 (Apr 20, 2011 at 4:38)

Interestingly he didn't mention the head angle reducer headset cups that you can see he's running.............

pollocks (Apr 20, 2011 at 6:47)

Or the fact that they run different length shocks depending on the track, there's a pic online some where of like 10 shocks all ready for SA and it shows all the different tunes n lengths

so pinkbike supports the NDP? lol why would you post an ad at the end of the first clip?

The-Dan-Jones (Apr 20, 2011 at 12:06)

I think the ads aren't determined by pinkbike, but a third party.

i guess the people at RS forgot that the White Brothers dh fork is the lightest on the market....or are they not making the Groove forks anymore

1 1

seraph (Apr 20, 2011 at 10:40)

White Brothers still makes forks?

Actually with the new Keronite paint I believe the Boxxer WC is the lightest dual crown fork on the market.

deadatbirth (Apr 20, 2011 at 10:52)

its not. the White Brothers Groove fork is

3 1

seraph (Apr 20, 2011 at 13:05)

White Bros only makes the Groove 200 and 180, and the lighter of the two is 7.6 lbs (3400g). The Boxxer WC is 5.9 lbs (2689g). So yeah.

Motomaster (Apr 20, 2011 at 20:59)

I bought a Boxxer cause it was light. What a mistake.
