You know the jumps are big when the event gets to have 'XL' in its name despite already being part of the limit-pushing Fest Series. Nico Vink's Loosefest XL goes down this weekend in the rolling hills of Malmedy, Belgium, and the course has been completely redesigned for 2019 to include some of the largest jumps in the world. The bikes are pretty interesting, too, with plenty of small wheels, semi-slick tires, and single-speed setups to be seen.
For all of you Amazed by a tire label. You can get them customized to say pinkbike sucks right here
Also if you add bearings/bushings you have a higher probability that one among them will fail.
But the rear triangle is a one-piece, and in the photos i can see 4 link + 2 for the shock mount, wich is the same number as a lot of horst link bikes so yeah you could be right.
It just seems very complicated by looking at it so i assumed it would be a pain to work on
I want me a 2020 Carbon Scott Gambler Tuned 29er/27.5/Mullet Bike!
BTW: notice that half of these spotted bikes are aluminium made
They don’t own that big of a share anymore if I am correct. But yes, (still) a major player in the market.
