    Magic Mary or Albert Gravity radial for rear of 25kg Kenevo?

    Don't get me wrong, I love the MM radial on the front, however, the Tacky Chan is a faster rolling and better braking tire, especially in the radial iteration, which has a revised tread pattern developed on the World Cup DH race circuit.

    You may be correct… we don’t want to be too complicated for British rockers, who’s music we love.

    Magic Mary or Albert Gravity radial for rear of 25kg Kenevo?

    Having ridden both new Magic Mary and new Tacky Chan (SC Bullit) I find the MM is a slower, draggier tire than TC, however, having ridden both in Pacifica’s sandstone areas (Fly Amanita, Mile, etc..) and eastern side (Boy Scout’s loamier, muddier clay) as well as Santa Cruz mountains’ (UCSC)...

    Why does it seem English speaking British bands lose their accent and sing in American English? Just take a listen… Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Animals, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Rod Stewart, etc.., etc… Must be because everyone understands American English?

    Arm pump/hand fatigue help?

    In my case I found I had more arm pump from A: gripping too tightly on chatter/DH… I changed bars to OneUp carbon and grips to ODI with D30 padding, these changes dampened chatter so I don’t need to grip as hard B: braking on longer DH runs… (I have SRAM Maven brakes) so I run a better pad than...

    Trail Etiquette ..!!!!

    Assuming most adults drive a vehicle I always use the “passing” on your left they should be familiar with. A few years ago while visiting friends in UK my wife and I rented a car to go from London to Bath… holy shit was that an experience (probably also for the poor Brits) trying to rewire my...

    Strange pattern visible under paint on carbon frame — cosmetic or structural?

    In his top photo you see longitudinal darker lines. If it’s a clear coat over carbon then it’s probably in frame surface. If it’s an opaque paint coat it should have uniform color. Thats why I mentioned not sure if it’s from camera?

    Strange pattern visible under paint on carbon frame — cosmetic or structural?

    I agree with your analogy, you made an interesting comparison finished wood has two grades: “Stain grade” is used when a natural or transparent color is clear-coated. “Paint grade” is smooth wood without grain transfer, used for opaque finish. If that frame was just clear coated carbon you would...

    Strange pattern visible under paint on carbon frame — cosmetic or structural?

    I’m curious, in the photos it also seems to show darker spots in the paint coating in addition to the surface irregularities… is that correct when viewed with the naked eye or is it just something from camera in the photos or posting of them?
