please forgive my spellings and bad grammar - i've not long been awake and not had enough coffee (yet!)

I honestly think this is a load of crap (not this specific axle sizing but the general theme). People need to realise biking is about smiles per hour not miles per hour!!! People also need to be realistic about their riding. I'm still riding a bike that is 17 years old (a reynolds 853 framed dh bike that is now a trail bike by todays standards) and it rocks and it makes me smile. Consider this. Nico V, Steve Peat, W simmons etc etc etc (any of the big of the big names) rode faster, harder and bigger than 99.99% of the people who ride today on bikes than many would consider substandard by todays standards, if you look at bikes from the 2000-2007 era before things started getting silly. If you want to go faster - go to the gym, eat healthy & learn how to ride (i.e. don't depend on your bike to get you out of the shit if you mess up a line etc). I understand in someways why bike companies feel they must keep trying to improve on the technology in the sport - natural development etc but also for sales - essentially once someone has a bike unless it brakes they do not need to keep buying parts etc etc. Of course this is just my view :) x

Does anyone else have issues watching these rebull media clips? they just dont run smooth on my laptop. What ever code they are using is not friendly to my laptop - pish :/
