aees Added a reply to confirmed - bruised shoulder for tomac

He also smashed his head pretty hard and looks a bit unstable getting up. So maybe not much of a shoulder injury but more concussion and they dont want to say anything due to the official tests that then should take place. If he had top sit out next week, his chances are zero for a title...

Correct. With same amount of preload you should get same sag. However this assumes both Springs are identical in terms of stiffness, and they will not be. It will differ a few percentage in stiffness in various lengths of the strokes since it is impossible to produce exact copies of Springs due to manufacturing process. Probably you will not notice...

Spring length does not affect ride height, geometric or any other suspension parameter. It is just a longer spring, adding some weight. Stock spring is 247mm, but 255 and 260mm is also common from 3rd part and ok to use. You can still use the model where you drop the shock down and pull it out between swingarm and subframe...

It is not about "the bike", it is about rider+bike shall work. Can promise you Roczen on stews bike would not be top 5. Look at Hill, 7th 1sec off Shane. When you are chasing 500-1000ms I can promise you details matter. You think it was Barcias mindset, or bike change that put him on podium compared to monster energy...

15th place, 4hours on the bike in terms of both physics and testing. Not a proven factory bike but first private husky in that range - no settings to go from. Injured foot, means only thing you might have been able to do is swim, lightly to get cardio. Not been on a bike really since may. That's a freaking...

He finally have a bike that he gels with. All about that. I bet he has more to come if he can dial that bike in some more. Look at Hill, jesus he is going to struggle this year on the Suzuki.

Told you this 2-3 months ago, Stewart as a racing family is ridiculous. Slightest hickup and they give up. The old testament: practice always beat talent is so true. In a while sponsors don't want to be associated with them either.

It depends on how you calculate. For a 20min main in this weather you dont need oversized radiators, fans etc. So if you take a factory bike as is with disc guards, heavier discs, heavier braking components etc im sure you can add up another 2-6 pounds over stock specially if it comes in one shape for outdoor and you...

It was quiet clear if you listen to the whole question: He wanted to know Eli take on the new point system, good or bad.

aees Added a reply to Best place to buy WP Cone Valve Forks

1/3/2018 1:42pm
Just a question, why are you revalving the CVs? What is it you felt was not right when you got them? I run stock valving in mine and curious how you diagnose it needs a revalve. Basically you are saying clickers, preload, springs and oil volume cant fix what you experience. Are you light weight guys, the other end of...

Just an example to give an indication, and depends on how you count. I can imagine BOM being in the 50% range, then production cost/mounting, R&D etc shall be added. I can't believe they would sell even close to 500 extra per year even if Tony Cairoli and Herlings where running Ohlins.

Ohlins has maybe a small van at mxgp, from the local distributor or service center. There is no support program from Sweden like WP has. I understand that, cost a shitload of money to drag a semi around the world, or even just in Europe.

12/29/2017 7:31am
Ohlins does not run a full Pro-program, neither in Supercross, outdoors or GPs. Almost not the target market and i understand why. They sell suspension anyway and burning say €1 million on such a program, is equal to selling maybe 500 sets of suspension just to go break even. They have had semis at GPs before, just dont think it...

aees Added a reply to Copy cat ish. How do you get carpal tunnel relief?

12/22/2017 11:16pm
For you guys with numbness (not armpump), how did you get diagnosis to conclude what nerves was affected? I've done the one where they send in electrical signals and measure response time. Waiting for feedback on that now.
