Whoops we did it again sang the UCI staff member with any ounce of self respect. Here only to make money, not benefit the sport.

After a long day of shuttle assisted riding in Finale I looked down to see the lockout lever on my RS damper had simply given up waiting for a reason to live and had fallen off.

You can actually use the Power More batteries without the main battery even installed. But, then you don't get full power from the motor, you need the main battery mounted as well to get full power.

In the 90s I bought a few hand made steel road frames from Paul Donahue in Bishop Auckland, I still own one of them. As a school kid I went there for a day to learn how to build a frame as well. With a bike name like Marra, they must be Cumbrian though? Marra?

@gnarnaimo: I think they are shaking sporrans last worn by the haggis they ate last night.

Is it not because the spectators have things that look like metal rattles all around the course? You can see them being shaken. It's a painful thing to listen to.

Has the Onion taken over Pinkbike?

@inked-up-metalhead: often it's done because the top tube or seat stays will get in the way of the cutting tool used to make the slot. Sometimes you will have front to back on the larger frame and side to side on the small.

@davechopoptions: I had a few quad link bikes that I liked, starting with a Marin Mount vision pro that replaced a Specialized Epic, with regular riding that needed new bearings and horst link bushing every 8 weeks, after 6 months I gave up on it, between that and the Marin I had a trek fuel with the glued in bearings, those lasted 8 hours before falling out, that went back to Trek after less than a month. The Marin just worked without issue, as did an E5 and E120 carbon that followed. The E120 was my favorite, yes it had occasional brake jack if you miss timed braking in rock gardens but I absolutely loved that bike, sub 12kg with 120 travel, the original down country rocket ship that is long over due a re-boot.
