30 Secondish Bike Checks: Red Bull Rampage 2016 - Video

 Would have been nice to see what wheel size each rider is running

 Aggy was running a 2.8 Minion in the front.

 @Thustlewhumber: not sure why you're getting the downvotes, it's pretty obvious by the clearance under the fork arch and the size of the Maxxis hot patch that Aggy was running a 27.5*2.8 (OMG, plus!!) tire up front.

 Cam zinc with the 26" rear and 650B front... indecisive?

 @Thustlewhumber: but not in 26in...

 @ScandiumRider:
He was runnig them front and back according to vitalmtb:
www.vitalmtb.com/photos/features/Pro-Bikes-Red-Bull-Rampage,10553/Graham-Agassizs-Kona-Supreme-Operator,110599/sspomer,2

What I find surprising is that they fit in a boxxer! Like most Maxxis tires those 2.8 are probably really only 2.5.

 @Shimanosaint0097: Why can't he run different sized wheels? I personally find it works better (stiffer rear wheel).

 @SintraFreeride: It looks like he had it set up originally with 2.8 DHF/DHR II combo, but look at the instagram link I posted. He's got a Shorty on in the back which max(x)es (haha) out at 2.5. It also looks way smaller than the 2.8 in the front.

It definitely looks tight under that fork arch though! Wouldn't want to get a rock stuck in the tread!!

 @ScandiumRider: Humm you do have a point. However, I think that 2.8 doesn't really measure 2.8 but rather 2.5. A Schwalbe 2.5 (which is true to size) barely fits on a boxxer fork.

 all my bikes, 6 of them, are all 26".
I have no problems...no worries.

 #26(ish)aint dead

 Without missing a beat, "My socks are also untied."

 @Ctieman: Definitely not his first day on the job with Tippie

 @Ctieman: what did tippie say? Your pockets un-tied?

 This should have happened before the raceday! but liked it anyway

 @Ctieman: laughed pretty hard at that

 @employee7: True story: I met Kyle Strait when he asked for a dip of my Skoal.

 haha

 Remi: 1 PSI
Tippie: 1 and a half?
Remi: No, 1 PSI

hah!

 ya Sorge as well as many others that don't want a taco

 I love it, 650BS! So true.

 Who didn't crash on 27.5 wheels?

 @demo-dood: I'm almost angry at myself for not thinking of this!

 No you just blinked

 Sounds and looks like an add for the Shake Weight. "It stands up a better for you so there a little more there for ya" If it works for him it'll work for u2.

 Probably from someone riding SRAM brakes

 @leopaul: Not sure if you remember 2012 wc season

 Definitely not Doerfling #hopetech

 @leopaul: yup that what I think. I will never go back !

 @leopaul: no matter what you say I will always look at codes as the best brakes going!!!

 @mhoshal: For all the hate SRAM brakes get, I've never had to do anything beyond changing the pads on mine. Never had a single failure or issue, and that's with three sets of Elixrs, one set of Codes, and a set of XO Trails spread out over 4 bikes.

 i just want to remind you all of claudios course preview with loic bruni! and btw i was being sarcastic. even so it's kinda true

 Yeh money talks. All the DH riders are too expensive obviously. Just kidding, I bet suntour have more money in the bank than fox's bicycle division. They seem more into the FR scene.

 @jaame: they do look good...an alternative to boxxers or 40s

 Payet doing well on those this season

 Pretty much every review says they are on pair with more established brands (well two of them), especially considering the price/performance. But then all of the new bikes are equipped with you know which two brands leaving the smaller or lesser known ones out. There is also the problem of support, smaller lesser brands do not have so widely spread support network so people prefer to chose those two who do. Its never ending cycle trying to break into the scene as a newdog, even if you have the products to do so. Most of the people I know will chose boxxer rc over rux even if the damping is more than 10 years old...

 @christillott: Nope, just run a 380

 @biking-with-camo: how are they..I love the look of the modern bombers with their dark brown stanchions...Do they ride as good as they look??

 Carson storch's rux looks like it's got a huge chip in the anodizing. I could be wrong though

 Just be afraid if over torquing

 And the 26" Operator

 #aintdeadtillurdead

 @BikeEveryDay: thats good stuff

 They are more progressive than coil.

 Likely the codes still have more power than any of the new offerings

 Codes are the top dog brakes in the sram lineup. I had guides, codes are far better

 Codes are more powerful than even Saints.

 Everyone mentioning checking the brakes were on Avid Codes ;-)

 Probably not for dh bikes, but Foes' Enduro bike, the Mixer Enduro, has a 29er front and 27.5 rear. I personally think its a good idea to mix wheel sizes

 Not common but a great setup to run. I'll be running 27.5/26 on my Transition next year and I'm pumped for it.

 Its pretty old school. You had the early/mid 2000's Specialized Bighits running 24" rear and a 26" front to really rake em out.

 @Dano98: Nah, Ive crammed a 29er tube in a 26. Just bring one

 @Takeshi194: Let's not forget the Banshee Scream

 @Husker2112: Good idea, indeed...I had taken a demo on a Foes Mixer in late 2015. I rode it that day and was good I asked the shop if I could extend my test ride for another one the next day. Now, I've been riding my personal 'Mixer since Jan 16---'Asym wheel set up (29er/27.5) feels so dialed to me when compared to symmetrical geos

 @Takeshi194: love my BH with that set up to this day. never lets me down.

 Liteville does that too. Of course chances are it will work pretty well on a bike initially designed for similarly sized wheels. Over here at least Cam Zink mentioned this is what he runs.

 @Takeshi194: My old Super 8 has that. Its awesome

 @GAdirt: apparently you can stretch a 275 tube unto a 29 as well

 It appeared that he had some sort of injury. It was wrapped when they were digging as well.

 Heard he has some ruptured thumb ligaments. I think it's a mini splint/cast on the thumb.

 Teaching his sister how to ride fast
