Tech From the Pits - Leogang World Cup DH 2018
Awesome to see rider-specific customizations and tweaks atop the excellent production-grade design and engineering that each team uses. Mountain bikes are as rad as ever.

Review: MRP Ribbon Coil Fork
Great review, especially in a market in which it's hard to pick the best fork now that the front runners are all so capable.
I would like to hear opinions on this MRP Ribbon from riders in the 220 lb range, maybe the stiffness and damping comparison would be more clear.

Banshee Rune v2 Frame L, Orange (cracked chainstay)
$575 USD2016 Banshee Rune 27.5" / 650b with 142x12mm rear axle (non-boost)
- 3-position adjustable rear axle position (Low / Med / High)
- Threaded BB, tapered head tube
- 26" wheel capable (requires optional dropouts)
- with Cane Creek DB Air CS (climb switch) in great shape
- with blue Chris King headset (for tapered fork)
Broke the chainstay on my 2016 Rune at a weld joint. The frame had been squeaking for a month or two, and I finally noticed the crack when upside down for maintenance. I replaced the frame with a newer Rune, and am cleaning out my garage. Really enjoyed this frame; might make a great built for someone with good welding repair skills. The rest of the frame is in good shape; the usual cable rub and scuff marks etc.
Price is OBO. Would sell it without shock / headset.

Staff Rides: RC's Time Machine - 1996 Mantis Pro Floater
Brings back memories... I had that '01 Marzocchi X-Fly in red on my "Long Travel" Trek 8500LT hardtail. Saved all my shop pay to buy it, $340 or so from QBP. Waaay better than the stock Judy 100! Air pressure adjust in each leg, diligent oil changes kept it running smooth. It was like owning an Italian car... when it was fresh, it was awesome.
PS - When the fork arrived at the shop, M had thrown in a free Marzocchi Calendar. Our shop owner refused to let us hang it up. "This is a family shop!" https://www.mtb-mag.com/en/marzocchi-girls-2004-calendar/
