The Whistler Mountain Bike Park's Early Season Trail Report
I’ll take broken plastic fenders in exchange for doubling the lift capacity from last year. To the OP - dad you wasted hours of you life trying to source a new fender in whistler. Just ride it bro and worry about plastic parts later

Now THAT Was a Bike: 2016 Pole Evolink
The slow evolution of geometry by the big frame makers was painful to watch. An embarrassment to be so off the mark for years. Took a FINN (and a few others) to innovate and challenge the status quo

Review: Starling MegaMurmur - The Big Bird
@joni0001984: Yup.... some bikes are flexy noodles if they are designed shitty. You should try that on a knolly and get back to me.

@baronKanon: There is no way a side load be applied at the axle is only seen by the main pivot. Think about it rather than trusting the dude trying to sell you stuff.

Review: Starling MegaMurmur - The Big Bird
@joni0001984: spherical bushings still transfer side loads to the shock. And a single pivot swingarm is flexy compared to a muti link.
Here's a tidbit for you all: years ago I had a single pivot (I've owned a few). Knew the bike very well. Installed a floating brake kit and was surprised how much better the bike performed. So we have a MOUNTAIN BIKE design that performs POORLY under BRAKING?! Brilliant.

@bitterbiker: there is a reason 95% of mountain bikes are some form of 4 bar. Keep telling yourself single pivots are the shiz!

Review: Starling MegaMurmur - The Big Bird
@joni0001984: Not at all - I don't care about how a frame looks, I care about how the rear suspension performs and if its stiff and confidence inspiring. Single pivot is inferior design, only relevant for homemade bikes made in someones garage. Sorry!

Review: Starling MegaMurmur - The Big Bird
When your a garage based frame builder, single pivot is the way. Problem is the entire swingarm has only one pivot to support it, and otherwise transmitting a lot of side loads to the shock. It's a rubbish design from the 90s. Multi pivot bikes are superior.
