Bike Check: Dan Slack's Pole Onni
@tempnoo1: that’s fair. Wheelies with a motor for me require a lot more brake drag. But once I got comfortable with that I like them bc it’s easy to hold one for a long time and at high speeds :)

Bike Check: Dan Slack's Pole Onni
The voima is pretty reasonable to wheelie, but it’s got a motor which helps.

Deity Celebrates 20 Years & Debuts New Products
Are the pedal internals updated from the tmac? I’ve had good luck with deftraps on multiple pairs, but tmacs have let me down a couple of times. These look amazing and Deity is the move!

Patent Reveals How E*thirteen's Anti-Pedal Kickback Sidekick Hub Works
I can't help but wonder if it's less of a pedal kickback that people hate, and more of chain force yanking crap around and being noisy being the real issue. Regardless, everyone that uses OChain seems to like it, and maybe it's the endowment effect and purchase justification. Or...maybe it's awesome. Haven't used one myself.

Pinkbike Poll: Riser Bar or Extra Spacers Under the Stem?
@jeremy3220: I’ve had this conversation so many times and a lot of people just can’t accept it to be true. They haven’t thought very hard about it and didn’t do the math.

Intend Announces New Blackline Fork Models
@Robstyle: nice. I never even crashed during my ownership. Always torqued. Carbon paste. Tried it all and eventually they were actually cool about it and refunded me. I can’t help but wonder if the alloy version would have worked better than the carbon I had. Regardless, I’m the kind of person that likes dual crowns on enduro bikes because I prefer the precision. Happy to run a 38 or zeb, but my ohlins dh38 is noticeably more solid.

Intend Announces New Blackline Fork Models
@Robstyle: It is absolutely an issue if you're pretty aggressive and 100 kg. The flex wasn't a deal breaker, but noticeable back to back with anything else. However, the twisting tubes from smashing a turn or landing sideways was. I think it works for most people, but for those that have a problem, it's a big one.

First Ride: Forbidden Dreadnought V2 - More Travel & Longer Chainstays
@ocnlogan: while it’s true that it’s harder to do a bit of a front wheel lift with a long chain stay Bike, actually doing a long manual down a fire road or on the trails is pretty easy still. It takes a little bit more work to get it going but then the sweet spot from the long chainstay lets you hang out there. I found that my titan and my high pivot Norco range were actually some of the best manual bikes I’ve ever had but they do take extra work to do it. Same with the geometron.
