Video: Brayden Barrett-Hay - From The Shadows
yeah, can someone please tell me why you would ride a bar so wide that you never use its full width? Notice through the whole video hands are always more than an inch inboard on each side. why not just chop it? Is it just more room for error? but then isn't it also more bar to get in the way and makes spinning it more awkward?

Does anyone else find it ironic that Gwin's "signature move" is the bar hump, even though he his so religious he probably has never even had sex before?

Feb 2, 2012Specialized Demo size Small very good condition
$2500 CADSize small 2010 Specialized Demo, in very good condition. Perhaps the most dominant DH bike on the planet. How much needs to be said about this bike? It rails the corners, it sails smoothly through the air, it bombs through the rough, it is the standard by which all other bikes are measured.
I work at a shop as a mechanic, and I purchased the bike as a leftover, so it was ridden only for the 2011 season. It was also pampered and maintained after every ride. No scratches on the stanchions, no frame damage, some scratches on the crankarm, and thats about it. Original tires are still almost new looking, I didn't ride it nearly as much as I would've liked. Sitting in the shop right now looking pretty. Completely stock except for fresh grips, a non-quick release seat collar, and a Soft spring in the boxxer instead of the Medium that it came with. Gives the bike a much more balanced feel, especially for me at 140lbs. If you would prefer the medium spring, I'll switch it out for you no problem.
Please check out the specs of bike on the specialized website here: http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBCProduct.jsp?arc=2010&spid=45710
Asking $2500, will ship anywhere if buyer pays shipping.

Nov 21, 2011Specialized Command Post 30.9 mm Like New
$115 CADSpecialized Command Post 30.9mm diameter in like new condition. I bought this for one Enduro race (the Highland Mountain Overmountain race) and it worked perfectly, but I need cash so I'm liquidating some of my bikes and equipment. This post was used for only ONE WEEKEND, and it was not a rainy weekend. It is in like new condition with the exception of a small cosmetic scratch on the bar mounted remote lever, as shown in the pictures. (I set the bike upside down in the parking lot to clean it, real smart.) Comes with all original packaging, instructions, cables, etc. Riding with a dropper seatpost is awesome, and I will definitely by another one as soon as the finances are back in order. Ride the industry standard!

Nov 21, 2011HUGE PRICE DROP!! Ultra light Stans ZTR Alpine wheelset w/ S
$800 CADPREVIOUSLY LISTED FOR $1300, PRICE DROP BY ****$500****
I decided last spring that I would build myself the sickest pair of XC wheels that money could buy. I wanted to buy my way into being a better climber, and with that I succeeded. These wheels are unbelievable. I dropped **2.4 lbs** from my Specialized Epic just by throwing this wheelset/tire combination on there. I thought they would be really flimsy and not stiff and that I would have to true them up all the time. Not the case! They feel just as solid in the corners as the stock wheels on my Epic and they are un-dented and nearly flawless after 10 rides. Yes, I've only used them about 10 times, for race days (only in dry conditions, never in the rain) and for a couple test rides when I first built them up.
I have been head mechanic at several shops in Montreal, so the build quality is there. I built them up to be super light, but not stupid light. These are not disposable wheels; if you treat them with care they will last a long time. Hubs are butter-smooth, rotors are straight, cassette cogs show no obvious signs of wear, tire tread also shows almost no wear (although the hot patches are smudged in places), and the tubeless system still works amazing. Reason for sale: my new bike takes a thru-axel in the front, and a 10 speed cassette in the back, so I'm going to build myself a new set for that bike.
The details:
-Ready-to-go full wheelset for XC racing, as light as 2012 Mavic Crossmax SLR but much more affordable.
-Specialized S-Works Renegade 26 x 1.9 2Bliss Technology tires, front and back (amazingly light tires)
-Stans ZTR Alpine Rims, sealed with Stans Rim tape, Stans valve stems and Stans sealant.
-DT Swiss 240 S Hubs for 9 mm QR, front and back, can't argue with these hubs
-DT Swiss Revolution spokes (Extra spokes available upon request)
-160mm Avid Cleansweep X rotor in the front, 140mm in the back, with titanium bolts
-Shimano XTR CSM970 11-32 9sp cassette with titanium cogs (crazy light!)
-DT Swiss Titanium quick releases front and back! $115 retail each!! Only the best for these wheels.
-DT Swiss Prolock alloy nipples
-Front wheel is 660 grams with no rotor, total wheelset weight without rotors is around 1400 grams! Comparable to a high quality road wheelset.
Retail price for these custom wheels with labour is well over $2000. Asking $800 for a ready-to-go, almost brand new race wheelset. Turn yourself into a climber!
