I am a mechanical designer with a love for all things bike. I am not picky, I just like to ride.

Burning Question: The Tire Setups of World Cup XC Racers
@vtracer: I have found that I need to be WAY more careful with how I weight my real wheel when climbing on the hard tail. I have a 2.25 Racing Ralph and have never had a problem with traction except very steep mud.

Burning Question: The Tire Setups of World Cup XC Racers
Fascinating read. Those tire pressures are low! I race a hard tail and at 21 psi still bounce the rim off rocks occasionally, but I might try dropping the front down.

Dang, that looks like it is better than a 6' drop to rock with little room to be off line. I suspect very few people will hit that one, particularly if it starts to rain.
