Danny's lil custom flange to take the flex out of the hub disc mount/brake is super neat, should start selling those!!!!
-
If they didn't zoom out on the Norco bike I would have thought they talked to a lucky Privateer who slaps all the stickers they get at the booths at each event.
-
sidekick seems like a very cool idea
-
Abbey tools are just lovely.
-
As a bicycle mechanic, love to watch what's inside the pro mechanics tool boxes.
-
Ahh Finn get it Boy
-
Super nice stuff, one of the best videos from Les Gets so far!
-
I may be late to the party but that's the first time I've seen the new Specialized frame's rear shock uncovered.
-
The issue at 3:06 regarding pushback, one of the easiest and most effective steps to reduce pad "knockback" as it's usually called, is relocating the caliper as close to the 3 o clock or 9 o clock position as possible. This is a very common problem on race cars.
-
Really hope that E-Thirteen hub spurs Shimano on to release their silent clutch hub.
-
Why don't they use centerlock discs?
-
Someone show Finn how to wear a hat please
-
Mr Iles has the riding thing pretty dialed now. Next thing would be to learn how to wear a hat.
-
"sprung vs unsprung weight" something SRAM completely ignores for 90% plus of all trail/xc/ enduro riders the world over with their 1× system, that cassette turns your suspension in to pendulum your suspension has to deal with before it gets to do it's real job, being suspension

So nice to have someone work on your bike for free....great to see female mechanics
