Tech Randoms: Châtel EDR World Cup 2023
@devlincc: There are clues. She's so high - so it'll be high engagement? All star - so it'll be star ratchet ? Here comes the hotstepper - sort of drive from pawls to the ratchet? The rhythm of the night - it'll weirdly sound

Tested: Do Short Cranks Work For Tall Riders?
@justinfoil: Exactly. And let's not forget that input force being put at pedals is result dependant on work of your legs and ANGLE at which you push your feet. The farer you are pushing your feet the less force you put in pedals. Then there's biomechanics, too. . Simply, for someone can be more beneficial to perform higher RPM on shorter cranks to gain fluent level of even lower power to the ground. Someone else will prefer burst of low RPM power and then just cruise before another burst.

Tested: Do Short Cranks Work For Tall Riders?
@beeeefkirky: I have quite opposite experience. Being a 180cm tall, on a 26" Rune with previously 32x11-36 gearing I moved from 175mm SLX to new 165mm SLX. As the 32t ring has been too small I got made custom 34t ring for new cranks. . With shorter cranks I immediately could accelerate much faster even from track-standing, bunny hopping is quicker and I am always in one harder sprocket (smaller). Even in uphill on rougher trails I am able of gaining higher speeds and preserve it because my pedalling is very fluent. If obstacle surprises me in bad gear I just quickly stand and smash few pedal strokes. With shorter cranks like this the biomechanics is much better. If I realized that before I would got made 36t ring instead of 34t. Also the almost speedless overcoming of higher roots in steep climbs is easier.

Specialized Patents Strange Air Shock - Shock Week 2023
@justinfoil: Well, I haven't had a need to look for other possibilities as DHX 5.o was always good enough. But there were times when I had to use thin hex key to turn to chamber size knob because I couldn't turn it by hand.

Specialized Patents Strange Air Shock - Shock Week 2023
@justinfoil: Exactly. You can change volume and pressure, as well, so there are actually many behaviours possible.

Specialized Patents Strange Air Shock - Shock Week 2023
@eight-n-burly: Ancient Fox DHX 5.0 from 2009 has the bottom-out resistance tunable with air-spring. I still use that shock, almost daily, 12 years in service.

Tech Randoms - Fort William DH World Champs 2023
It's just Mondraker linkage, nothing new. The BB is bolted to the mainframe using those 5 or how many bolts.
