i agree. i learned a lot from this guy than read stuff over the internet and his video was only under 4 minutes. hopefully, he gets interviewed in all of the WC races.

Good wee vid, you may not agree with this guy’s information (if you think you know better) but good info for us normal people...... Who is the no sun-tanned dude in the back ground? He must be the apprentice....... Only kidding Carl, get back and fix ma bike!!

Other than the low speed compression damping in the wet (wet race = slower race hence more time pedalling) i dont understand his logic for set up. I honestly cant see how changing from flat to clips will change your weight balance front to rear, and I use both!

he explained it in the vid, look again Wink

But why would a flat pedal rider hang of the back more? An Ex Lotus engineer explained suspension in the best terms to me and that was, springs control how far the suspension will compress, damping will control how fast it will compress (and return).

Yeah and as he had said in the video, more "slow speed" dampening meaning, it will compress slower, helping with the pedaling.

Thats what i said originally!

You hang of the back more on flats because most riders push their heels down a little bit more to stick to the pedals. When using clips your heels are up a little thus changes your weight distribution on the bike forward (remember 1mm of a difference will change how much weight is on the bars instead of the pedals/rear). You may ride in the same position using both methods; well done you are different :-)

I see this team is cutting back this year on riders and the expensive Intense bikes. I must admit though, the team last year was kind of large.

GDI I was hoping he would go indepth more on the fork setup >.

Iberian (Apr 21, 2011 at 11:09)

Still was awesome to share what he did know. Cool guy for that.

Should of stuck with Intense because that Nuke Proof is ugly

Rockurshoxoff95 (Apr 23, 2011 at 23:17)

they obviously put the nukeproof for a good reason, I dont think they would just ditch the m9 for no good reason and biking isn't about looks it's about capability and doing what you can. Not looking like your going to kill it then doing real shitty

panzer103 (Apr 29, 2011 at 4:44)

Bla Bla Bla. People keep saying that. Bla Bla Bla Should of kept the M9 The Nukeproof IS ugly

Rockurshoxoff95 (Apr 29, 2011 at 7:58)

nope, dont jusge a book by its cover man, it could just be the best feeling bike you've ever sat on,, you got alot of learning to do

panzer103 (Apr 30, 2011 at 4:50)

Almost all high end products will work wonderfully including the Nuke Proof. Since performance is almost equal I would need to decide on what is aesthetically to me and the Nuke is not to my eye.

whatever you like
