Bro whatโs the point of this
Im really good at falling of so i will definitely try this out
Iโve seen this on IG and came here to see the full video but this is what I found. Canโt find the full video ๐
Why do that when you can just ride an E-Bike?
Is that a carbon frame? Lol
Or you could just cut the bs out and get a DH ebike with the added battery and motor weight lol. We all know DHers don't cycle up hills but they could do if they had a battery and motor strapped to it instead of silly weights ๐
Just buy an ebike. Plenty of weight ๐
Mhmm just like the hood old days
I got built in weights. In my belly, thighs for example.
๐๐๐๐๐๐
DH it's like F1 but be aware that Enduro wanna steal the party…
Would have to be slower. Then you would have to adjust your suspension to suit. I donโt see the point. Buy an E bike ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
"How to adding weight to a carbon frame"
Sucks that Nukeproof is going out of business
1) Buy carbon frame and carbon components to make the bike as light as possible
2) add weights to it
Better or worse? Useless video.
Best call the manufacturer of your frame to check it wonโt adversely affect the stresses going through the closest node. Iโve seen a lot of sheared welds on DH frames without the additional localized weights ๐
Thats just stupid coning from an ex soilder, put ankle weights on put your socks over the top of thrm, simples
On windy days it gives you stability on jumps. I don't think I'd ever need it but who knows.
Ha ha I raise you my thunder thighs
My gut, with lose skin, actually swings into the corner, like a pro motorcyclist, gets the weight right out there for me,
Fat isnโt enough you need loose skin for this performance mode โค
Why?
bullshit. if then the Orange system. well bikes are supposed to get lighter and lighter and now something like that. The traction is controlled by verse pressure, so you don't need any weights. especially since the part only mars the frame and looks ugly.
Please please gmbn not that bullshit, more Hardtail and contents like bikepacking hacks, nutrition,etc…
ะญัะพ ัััะถะตะปะธัะตะปะธ ััะพ-ะปะธ?
Can someone explain the point of this? Does it shift the COM closer to the rider?
Is it better with weights
WeightWeenies losing their minds over this….. ..
They're weightless
Useless making it light since gravity is your friend in downhill.
Next youโll be exfoliating & moisturising it! ๐
Where can I get these weights? This will drastically improve my bunny hops!
Or just buy a aluminium frame ?
Lowering center of gravity
… Zerode… Look it up.

Wear heavy shoes ๐
