Review: Deviate Highlander 2 - A Better Sequel
@jaydawg69: check out Paul Aston / Rulezman's testing of the Orange and lately his custom bike. Steep/progressive curves provide more bottom out resistance but less overall support. Think about it, if a progressive bike is also providing good support in the mid stroke you'd need to huck it off the roof to bottom it out.

Review: Deviate Highlander 2 - A Better Sequel
@jaydawg69: the opposite is true. A more linear curve through the first 2/3 of the travel offers more mid stroke support, with a big ramp up the end to avoid bottom out. Super "steep" progressive curves will mean the bike wallows through the travel much more

It is actually a problem with Sram X-Sync chainrings, the angled teeth means the chain can pop off when you're sprinting out the gate. Other chainrings are fine though

Saracen's Prototype 6-Bar DH Bike Uncovered - Taipei Cycle Show 2023
@SonofBovril: fair point, Horst Link anti-rise characteristics and single pivot anti-squat. Either way, definitely not a 6 bar.

This isn't a true 6 Bar (like Atherton), it's just a Horst Link with extra links driving the shock (like Canyon)

The Myotragus Dorothea is a 200mm High Pivot Bike With a Gearbox
@gabriel-mission9: Love everything about the bike except how insanely progressively it is. Seems it would either be wallowing or impossible to bottom.

Antoine Vidal Breaks his Collarbone During Training
@pasteque51: If my collarbone is sticking out of my body I don't think I need a doctor to tell me it needs fixing, dummy

Antoine Vidal Breaks his Collarbone During Training
Why downvote this guy - he's right? I was advised rest and sling, 11 uncomfortable days later my collarbone is sticking out at a crazy angle and they had to operate anyway.
