Six Bikes of Red Bull District Ride

 I dont think they sell enough to risk it

 Same as mine, still dope as always, rockin the streets and jumps!

 Well, you do see small rider driven innovations. Look at an article from a few years ago and you would see only a handfull of giros. Now? Almost everyone

 @j-t-g: Giros should be standard on DJ/Slope bikes IMO

 @j-t-g: The gyros there appear to be standard BMX gyros. There's been a time when several companies experimented with hydraulic gyros which are MTB specific (as modern mountainbikes commonly run hydraulic brakes). It is small stuff. More clever stem top caps for the front brake hose/cable to run through (instead of guide it right through the middle of the cap), thru axles instead of bolt on. In a way it is to be expected though. More than in most other mountainbike disciplines, here it really is pretty much exclusively about rider skill and guts and not about the equipment.

Would have loved to see more steel though for me that's purely sentiment and I understand that for sponsored competing athletes it has little to no advantage over aluminium.

 Semenuk brought the mech gyro to slope. I remember the hatred when he first got it, now everyones adopted it.

 @anchoricex: When was that? My 2006 Specialized P1 came with a gyro. There were companies before that who did it too, but I don't know which.

 @vinay: Slope loosely referring to slopestyle comp. I don't doubt that you had a hardtail dirtjumper with a gyro. I'm talking about adoption by pro slope athletes.

This is the bike that sparked the mech gyro / odyssey lever / sram bb7 road brake on all the slope bikes: www.pinkbike.com/news/champions-bike-brandon-semenuks-trek-ticket-s-2014.html

 @anchoricex: Allright, thanks. That was 2014, wasn't the Nukeproof Roox earlier?

 @vinay: Hydro gyro.

 Nyquist bike might not need innovation," but Haro hiring an industrial designer, couldn't hurt...

 I'll admit, I have no clue how a gyro works.

 Shifter on the water bottle mount. Everyone went to 100mm travel for some reason. I want a hydraulic gyro setup, but apparently they 're garbage. Road's as big as your imagination when it comes to bike ideas.

 @vinay: old 24 ToyIII of early 2000 came with a giro too

 @Kramz: Sam Pilgrim rocks a hydraulic gyro.

 I am pretty happy with that it makes it cheeper

 I feel the same when I watch bmx. The size of stair sets that are getting dropped and huge air with out any suspension is just mind blowing!

 "Amazing to see the level of riding that can be accomplished with a simple aluminium hardtail." and 26" wheels!

 someone answer this cause I want xo cranks :\

 @anchoricex: my x0 eagles have lasted me just fine on my slope bike.

 @Niko182: Cool, how many years have you been using them?

(joking)

 @andrew9: currently 1

 @Niko182: I already knew that, Eagle only came out last year. Too early to see if they're properly durable or not.
It'd be funny if you had full eagle on a slope bike, huge climbing gear but only a 12" seat tube

 @andrew9: cam Mcaul built up a ticket S with eagle

 Dartmoor Core

 thought it was a belt drive for a moment!

 Steels Real......... (Sorry, involuntary)

 They're not doing a lot of street-style riding, plus few (none?) of these manufactures make a steel DJ anymore/ever.

 @plyawn: Dartmoor has the Cody which is a Cromo dirt frame, And also Haro with their steel reserve series

 @carfreak2000: blkmarket (my edit 1 is eing welded now cant wait), transition, and deity as well. they exist, just not as common

 @adrennan: I had them build me an Edit earlier this spring - XXL with the tall can head tube (I'm 6'5"). Carter is super easy to deal with and the price for a built-to-order steel DJ bike is reasonable. Build quality is solid too!

I have a Chromag monk which is a steel beauty as well. There are definitely people making steel DJ frames, my point was not many of the companies sponsoring FMB riders, like Specialized, Trek, Canyon, Rose, etc

 @adrennan: I was stating the brands that were competing in Red Bull District as @plyawn said those brands in the article don't make steel frames anymore which isn't the case

 No, they were saying during his run, with that bike, that he still didn't have a sponsor.

 @Triber66: i was hopeful. wasnt he running the same frame at crankworx but with raw frame (no logos)

 @adrennan:

Was on a beddo during the last comp, think he was on green bikes for a while, before was ns decade. He was on beddo before when they only had cromo frames

 @adrennan: yeah he did, so this makes no sense to me either, and at some point it was referred to as being top secret, iirc

come on beddo if you read this, don't be shy

 @noisette: hopefully like when the Lacondegeys rode Konas before getting sponsored by Kona.

 most of them are aluminum.

 @adrennan: Today I learned - thanks dude.

 gyro needs 2 cables to work

 for gyros

 It's for the gyro system. Having a cable splitter makes for a weak point in the brake and makes them less powerful. So odyssey came out with a lever that holds two cables that feed directly into the gyro.

 Is it possibly for the gyro?

 I think it's for the gyro

 dual cables from lever to brake are WAY much easier to set up an keep balanced but, with a disc brake it will only be the upper. Interested to see if tektro's/TRP new hydraulic caliper will take off

 I haven't bothered to check and see if anyone else is answered, but that is set up that way so he can run gyro.

 @Triber66: the first few comments were added within seconds of each other. the page doesnt update automatically.

 I was just adding to the fray as it had already been answered six times lol @adrennan:

 @adrennan: Or we pinkbikers were just trolling each other, as expected.

 @bikeis4life: Not 100% sure but I think it's for the gyro.

 there was a few in the comp
