you can't have a post that will go up and down on its own over and over again. something needs to power it. when you sit down on the seat to lower it, you are 'charging' the spring, be it coil or air. And I am guessing nobody will want to pump up the charge on their seatpost every ride, or put in batteries.

jaydawg, you're right. its a shame. but at least I don't live in America's hat. :P

I think the lord of the rings movies gave enough of an impression of new zealanders. great riding and nature, but too many orcs like Dexta.

CAD is now higher than USD. I've been rocking only WTB dual duties on serious DH for the past 3 years, and they have yet to fail me. Before that, a large number of different rims have utterly failed.

Step 1: Buy Hadley hubs. $400 Step 2: Buy WTB dual duty rims. $80 Step 3: Buy DTS competition spokes. $80 Step 4: Pay shop to build. $80 $640 wheelset, 1840g for AM rim, 1940 for DH rim, supreme quality.

the marz forks all look great, but how about those new khs bikes? i really want to see one of those up close. you usually think not too high end when you think khs, but those frames look really good, and well designed. and khs is bound to be affordable too! definitely will be looking out for their release.
