It's a Truvativ product - SRAM owns the brand, just like Avid and RockShox. The Truvativ brand covers BBs, cranks, chainrings, bars, stems, seatposts, etc... Avid covers brakes SRAM covers derailleurs, cassettes, triggers, etc.. and we all know what RockShox covers.. |

On a full suspension bike, the Rohloff adds a significant amount of weight to the rear wheel (unsprung mass) which will adversely affect rear wheel traction. on a full suspension bike, I rather have the extra weight be low and centered, like the HammerSchmidt in this case. Rohloff would work well on a HT. |

do you really think press releases only get sent to one web site? I got this press release directly from Shawn of Diablo Freeride Park. |

if you have the Avid Bleed kit, they are super easy to bleed. |

and no Ti hardware. if you get Juicy carbon ti bolt kit, they they will be even lighter. |

these press releases are submitted to Pinkbike and we are given to choice to post them or not. So ultimately we decide if it's news worthy or not. don't think for a second that Pinkbike gets $$ for posting these. Some press-release are better than others, but ike someone mentioned - some news/pictures/results is better than none - reason why I choose to post them. We would LOVE to hit all these venues and bring you some coverage - but reality is that it's unrealistic to do that. Like in my case for example, I have a full time day job, not like I can take week long vacations just to cover an event - even if I would love to ;o) Thanks for understanding! - Luc |

as far as I know - the Pike remains unchanged. Pike is intended more for aggressive applications. so you can go with the lightweight focused version (Revelation) or the stiffer aggressive use version (Pike). |

name formed using the names of the founders. There's Scott, Ray, and Sam, where Ray is the middle name of company head Stan Day. |

negative. a 400# spring is a 400# spring - doesn't matter if it's Ti or Steel or any other material for that matter. Linear vs progressive on the other hand is a different story. |

spoiledgoods: the only reasons why a Ti spring would feel or react differently than a steel spring is because of: 1 - Spring end conditions are different than the steel spring (noticed how most Ti springs have open ends unlike most Steel springs which are closed) 2 - spring isn't accurately rated (says 400# but could well be 425, 250, 375..) 3 - spring isn't linear due #1 4 - all of the above |

it's a bit more than that. it also reduces unsprung weight which in some cases will enhances control characteristics of the bike. you can save up to half a pound just by using a Ti spring. For some that's important. Say you have an all-mountain mountain bike with a coil shock, half a pound starts making a difference after being in the saddle for a few hours - I know it does for me. |

there is no better or worse - both Steel and Ti will perform the same. Like Eder mentioned, with the added bonus of Ti springs is that you get to save a few grams. |

which is a few years late. The ethirteen LG-1 has been around since 2005 and was under development/testing for at least a year before that. it was first seen on Fabien Barel's bike at Mont St-Anne (with current taco). |

it doesn't really matter. The new 08 links are already relieved in that area. SEE HERE |

what bike have you been using it on? just curious.. |
| link to story |
Fox DHX is a tad lighter. 437g for the shock body + sunday mounting hardware. |

dingus - the pin spanner is used to take the IFP sealhead cap off. check the RockShox Tech Manual for more info. Cheers! |

I just got my 08 Pushed Roco today which I'm going to mount on my Nomad. will let you know what I think - but judging from Pushed past track record, I'm positive it's going to feel great! but only time in the saddle will tell. |

ditto - such a nice bike. I also love that blue! can't wait for the race season to start!! |
