So sad.
This town truly needs an enema.

That said, if you're going to rent you'll soon find that the V10 was a great bike, but the new designs do it all. I rented about 10 different bikes 4 years ago before deciding on the Knolly. After trying 7 different suspension designs I realized I liked short travel single pivot, and long travel 4 bar.

But the VPP on the V10 carbon was really sweet too.

That's what my friend always says. The Lefty is the most rigid fork out there, and is great for XC. I've never had an issue with flex in my suspension, and I've done this drop dozens of times.



Dirt Merchant drop, Whistler.

It's crazy, I didn't even have to click the link and I knew you were talking about Bender.


I posted a "where in the world is Josh Bender" thread on NSMB last year only to find he was on the builders crew for Red Bull Rampage.

Good to see Bender is still in the scene. The man was, and still is a maniac.
