  1. 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 ๐Ÿ˜‚

  2. Best call the manufacturer of your frame to check it wonโ€™t adversely affect the stresses going through the closest node. Iโ€™ve seen a lot of sheared welds on DH frames without the additional localized weights ๐Ÿ‘

  3. My gut, with lose skin, actually swings into the corner, like a pro motorcyclist, gets the weight right out there for me,

    Fat isnโ€™t enough you need loose skin for this performance mode โค

  4. 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.
