7 Yin Yoga Poses To Maximise Your Flexibility
I think another way to look at it is ‘mobility exercise is now your body’s suspension’

A Closer Look at Devinci's Experimental High Pivot Wilson
Well that's good. I was worried about it's aesthetics.

Field Test: 10 Trail and Enduro Bikes Face the Efficiency Test
@R-M-R: I agree with you that the front center shrinks pretty radically, but that can be a major benefit by placing the rider's weight further over the front tire to aid with loading and traction.

Field Test: 10 Trail and Enduro Bikes Face the Efficiency Test
@xy9ine: While true, keep in mind geo numbers are measured at static. Even statically sagged in, the wheelbase is shrunk a little. And yes, the delta is relatively small, but I believe it should be made even smaller.
So yes, at the extreme end, fully compressed is a super tiny amount of time, but you do spend a whole lot of time in the 15%-60% travel range.

Field Test: 10 Trail and Enduro Bikes Face the Efficiency Test
The one aspect of high pivot that nobody ever mentions, but I believe is the single best attribute of the design, is that the wheelbase is better maintained throughout the suspension cycle. If you think about it, when you want a bike to be most stable is on a hard bottom out off a large jump or drop. It makes no sense for a wheelbase to shrink and get inherently more unstable in that situation.
Stability = confidence. Confidence = speed.

$160,000 Worth of Unique, Historical Bikes Stolen in Specialized Break In
@thustlewhumber: Whoa whoa whoa. It's just those in the rural areas are so heavily outnumbered by LA and bay area numbers. I want to leave but can't for several reasons beyond my control.
It blows my mind what others in this state vote for and think, "Yeah! That's a good idea!"
Like the daylight savings bit.... Still bitter about that one even though nothing has been acted on it. I actually like the fact the sun sets at 9:15 in the summer thanks to daylight savings. Downvote away, but my job is in ag and I really like that I don't have to start a 4am in July.

$160,000 Worth of Unique, Historical Bikes Stolen in Specialized Break In
@seb-stott: Echoing what others have said; it only appears as a major decrease in property crime due to lowered requirements for citing and/or arresting criminals. Also, you can steal $999 usd worth of goods per incident (meaning five homes equals $4999) and the cop can't even put handcuffs on you. So many people, myself included, get something stolen and we just say, "Why bother reporting it? There's nothing the police can do about it anyways."
Its really sad. People work so dang hard for cool things, like awesome mountain bikes, and when they're stolen the California government and its residents who voted them into office has made it so the police can't do anything about it.

Naw dawg. I fully admit that Pinkbike Academy has become my new guilty pleasure.
And yes. I'm aware that it practically turns me into a basic white girl.
