Looks like a Slant Six.

@jmtbf: what is this winter you speak off?

Dune - Frank Herbert Night Watch (and sequels) - Sergei Lukyanenko Jonathan Livingston Seagull - Richard Bach The Eiger Sanction - Trevanian World War Z - Max Brooks

Went OTB off of a 4' drop and landed on my head while wearing a Giro Fixture MIPS. The helmet split in two and was hanging off the front of my head when I got helped up but the MIPS liner attached to the helmet's fit-adjustment system was still attached securely around my head. CT scan showed some bruising on the posterior part of my brain and I lost a bit of hair but I think it could've been worse without MIPS. Had quite a headache, dizziness and nosebleed immediately after the crash and nausea for 2 days (threw up after being wheeled back to my room after an x-ray). Worst part were my neck & shoulder muscles. According to my ortho, the muscles "planked" to prevent over-compression/extension of the neck vertebrae. It took more than 3 months before I could turn my head normally. Got back on the bike 40days after the crash. Will only wear a helmet with MIPS or a system similar to it when out on the trails now. Currently using a Lazer Oasiz MIPS.

Shouldn't a properly tuned suspension fork take care of the same problem these bars are supposedly a solution to?

Ragley got it right. I fit a 170mm travel BrandX Ascend on my small Mmmbop.

Not a single comment from the PB community?! Are the Dominions so good that there's nothing to complain about them?

@fabwizard: probably the same way she tolerates you..????

@matt-15: using GR7's now, was previously using old-model Impacts. The Michelin rubber has a higher durometer than the Stealth rubber so not as sticky but still has adequate grip, consequently making it easier to change foot position while underway.

I have last year's R2C2 model on my Mmmbop and no complaints so far. I have it at 160mm, great small bump sensitivity and good support on the bigger hits. Haven't really used the bleed/lubrication ports yet. Might try taking out a spacer or two to make the spring a little bit less progressive. The best part? Less than 400USD brand new when I bought it.
