I feel like Canyon pushing their Canyon Stitched 720 marketing
second
i want to see tom isteds bike
Who does your titles? "Comeback" is a word.
You're a great presenter I could listen to you all day💞
so you're saying my 2009 Specialized SX Supercross 100mm slope slalom bike is back in the game?
So fast compared to an enduro bike. might need to get one for myself
I really hope GT makes the distortion available to the public again. I would love to build one up one day.
Love de that GT
What brakes(cable) are they running?😅
am I wrong, but Emil have been riding a ticket for years lol
that title…
26" 4ever
This rug… it ties the whole room together. Or, sorry, "this fork, it ties the whole bike together"
Wow! Marzocchi's white fork looks pretty clean, other manufactures need to follow!
The paintjob on Emil's trek looks pretty sick!!
the vertical dropouts tho…
I need to sell my almost untouched pslope
wearing ear protectors you can feel the noise of the vibrations when you are sitting, compared to pedaleing standing. there is no such thing as pedals with shock absorbers. i used to have a gigantic seat in a bicycle in the 80's called "GAC motoretta mobylette."
this video is called FULL SUSPENSION. but is it really? same as the human body has so many bones and joints, i think the bicycle is missing like about 20 possible small springs and articulations.
i suffered the absortion of a shock which explodes my clavicle like china due to lack of suspension. take in account that the bicycle could have other directions of shock absortion. in example the front wheel could move sideways in the same manner our ankle can walk through stones.
in acoustics we know that the shock absorbers works best if are russian dolls matriuskas. like a room floating within a room or the rycotte microphone holder.
the pedals could have shock aborbers, and so the other piece that holds the pedal, and the piece that holds that piece, and so on.
every metal could be cut and half and add small shock absorber, with variable resistance or calculated for the system
So correct me if I'm wrong, if I was to build a slope bike it would be a size smaller than .y enduro light as possible with suspension as a safety net only.
This is how I present my piece of garbage 1980s commuter bike every day at work
I always think how interesting is that Emil wins every single competition and is one of the few guys riding dual suspension…I mean the guy is a beast, but it's interesting…
Hmmm Go on erik and david, tell what us tires You bouth ride, surely your sponsor continental won't mind lol
Meeen this motivates me to make a bike check of my dirt jumper
120psi max in the Marzocchi?
It looks like the GT’s shock is fully compressed already. Doesn’t that mean it’ll have no suspension in an impact.
