@h8terbike999: Correct

Nice article Yari.

@stubestrong: Tell our boys this and try to have them ride lighter equipment. We run as light as we can while still getting the machines to the finish line. Remember this is all day of racing on the same equipment, not a single DH run of 2-4 minutes. Also, once you strap a tube, co2/pump, tools, water, etc on the bike, weight goes out the window :-p At the end of the day, if the rider cannot finish on the equipment or needs to ride slower to save the equipment because maybe it is too light and he/she will damage it, then the end result is also losing time. Richie and Slaw need to run XT cassettes, for example, to not rip the teeth off. Mick and Ryan run 11spd Linkglide on their E-bikes because it is more durable and will have no problem lasting practice and race day on a weekend under these boys. Lightest bike/components does not always win the enduro race. Needs to be tailored to the rider and conditions.

@IMeasureStuff: Feedback Sports truing stand

yeah, but with DH tires front/rear, Cushcore front/rear, Ochain chainring, XT cassette, 200mm seatpost and CO2/tube/tools & number plate. Weight does not matter much if our riders are piloting them to victories and podiums every week and the bikes are holding together to get that job done ;-)

Foam is for lattes... Love pockets to hold my tools or a good tool roll :p
