Review: Berd’s Hawk 30 Wheels Use String Spokes for Impressive Compliance
@gabiusmaximus: yes, true of course in theory. But in order to have any practical, noticeable effect on feel, as I see it (also theoretically), there need to considerable flex that stores and returns energy. Eg in a fork that distance could typically be in the range of 150 mm, which is huge by comparison. Also the tires would have much more flex than the rims

Review: Berd’s Hawk 30 Wheels Use String Spokes for Impressive Compliance
@SunsPSD: How do you know? Placebo is very much present in this sport as it is everywhere else, me personally would like to see tests before I buy the whole thing. Also, how much force is needed to overcome the spoke tension to actually "activate" the compliance? I would suspect, without knowing, that the tires and suspension activates before the flex in the wheels

Review: Berd’s Hawk 30 Wheels Use String Spokes for Impressive Compliance
It would be interessting to do a blinded experiment with these wheels and see if the compliance is noticablle. How much vertical compliance can there be in such wheels, how much do the spokes really flex? I mean, we the bike is already suspended by the tires (a few centimeters), the suspension (eg 140 mm) and the handlebars to a certain extent

Downcountry Fork Review: Öhlins RXF34 m.2 vs Fox 34
@seb-stott: do you mean the charger rc damper found in the select models? As far as I know the select+ has the same charger 2.1 damper as in the ultimate, perhaps with less dials. and your reviews are quite amazing, keep it up!

2020 Pinkbike Awards: Value Mountain Bike of the Year Winner
@mtbikeaddict: sure, in this award, yes (even though the Escarpe is a 2021 model) but claiming that the geo is outdated when they potentially have different purposes could be far fetched.

2020 Pinkbike Awards: Value Mountain Bike of the Year Winner
Agree somewhat, but aren't the ecarpe more of an all mountain bike, with geometry as a such? Hence they should maybe not be compared directly against each other as they are different types and good att different stuff? Haven't seen a review for the escarpe yet though
