Redneb is a very nice guy, and his personality is very opposite of his looks. I know he looks like a goon , but when I pm'd him and have some stupid questions about dh bikes setups, riding styles etc, he always answer my questions even if my questions already is annoying. Thank you redneb for answering the questions of dh newbies like us.

hmmm.... tnx admins... well bout bein funny.. its just the lighter side of explainin things, plus its not to technically jargoned that by the time u actually try it u end up crashin n burnin cuz u couldnt focus , cuz u wer tryin to remember stuff at 65kph and dribbling like pam anderson on the treadmill? would it...? lol ... see........... extendead ..... wow REPACK! u know your history books very well i see..... hehehe... and wow bret tippie hehehehe.. K2 animal on xvert ti= gwapo oldschool FR rig... now extinct! Extendead is right tho.....its a lot more fun to ride with a smile even without a complete set of teeth due to crashes, than riding too seriously that u forget that cycling as a sport should be "FUN".... thats why ur hooked ... hehehe @ coiler tnx brad..... @ rcg tnx din.... no prob hehe.... .......hmmmmm....... extendeadwhen did phil. DH begun?? who was the guinea pig at that time?? hehehe RP DH scene? it was here since 1993ish.....then the first few nationals aside from the asian dh cup always held in danao, cebu... heheheh, during 96 i was kinda the lab rat... when i started racing i ahd only 2 demons 1 named arjuna and the other named ricky and its now 2007 everytime i strap my helmet i hear their voices inside(torture), yetiman was "The Tank" back then he was the MX-DH crossbreed, and of course our brethren joseph o(the devil rides giant)... then boyet n james were still together then came edmund mangaser n the rest of the crew...i remember back then when manila DH racers use to go to provinvial nationals it was hell of fun cuz everybody was united, no politics no factions.... then a good round of beers would close the day.... and nothing else mattered after.......... i only knew the last 10 years.. hehehe hehehe the last ten years of DH was all politics, i did not major in that eh.... i stuck to what i know best... trail riding .... its all i know eh.... im that old?? yes 1 decade already and you still close your eyes in mid-flight! godamit peng drink bonamine! i dont know how to cure you....... Pweh! hehehehehe.... papapapaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannggg!!! was that the rockies? Extendead is like a curse, everytime we ride we end up disaster! from urban attack disasters to trail disasters and even getting lost in makiling! and rocketman turning into a horse hahahaha.... no thats not the rockies thats the security guard of greenbelt running after you again during new years day!.............

1 Pasaway = 5 football hooligans
imagine having a reunion.............. lol............. red horse is gonna play a major part in this undertaking.... theres gonna be a lot of beer, grilled food, harder liquor, herbs, bikes, fists, knives, broken bottles, and more fists...... lol i miss the good old days... after every ride the bbq grill is always full and the coolers are frozen with beer, or until someone passes out and swims in his own puke which creates very incriminating images which he/she will deny until his next of kin!..... then next day u wake up and ride again and again... it will drive you crazy in the first 6 months but after 4-10 yrs dnt worry... crazy is just routine, and would you give up routine that makes you smile like a 5 yr old everytime? hehehe.... i thought so....
** for every tech question asked here, ill try to study the newer DH designs and maybe even get to test a few but just keep em coming.... DH bikes are basic, its push-pull principles make it simple but the different suspension designs today have specific applications unlike the old FS technologies... the 1 FS design concept to conquer all, but MTB manufacturers decided they were not gonna make money that way so now we have XC , AM , FR, DH... wow 4 categories to choose from..... and mtb technology today evolves at a rate same as cellhpones.. every quarter there is something new.........( We didnt have that privelege before).

Dear Badong,
I'm not a expert in economics, financial trends, or whatever field that involves number crunching... but I've been wondering why that aging Boxxer World Cup at the back of Paulina's store still costs almost P 70,000.
Most of the time, prices for components go down as the years pass and the next year models come in... not so for this Boxxer.
Extendead once asked me this question WHILE WE WERE WITHIN PAULINA'S HEARING RANGE.
Inakupow!!! Needless to say, the woman was really pissed with us. Hehehehe.

Mr. Red
Why was this thread diverted for a while? I kinda read this more often than the girl bikers and weight weenie corner ( ;D ) but didn't saw the thread diverted.
Why does PinoyMTBiker logo bears a downhiller figure with an XC helmet??? Hehehe!
Just asking.

..............hmmmmmmmm interesting......... now u got me thinking bout the logo n the xc helmet thing...... hmmmmmm .... hahaha
**Why is it that as one tries to push the boundaries to the limits, and as you get faster ripping out smooth lines and go for bigger and sicker air. One starts to sense the simillarity of playing catch with a live grenade and riding your dh bike......? i mean its a one miss u die rule ryt? both activities may maime,impale, kill, dismember,dislocate,paralyze in just a split second?... heheheh... to some people thats fun to others its crazy....

Dear Bender,
I have a boyfriend, who was born with one leg shorter than the other (10 mm). Yes, I measured his leg because I love him dearly. The Brokeback movement is very hip these days anyway.
We've been thinking of using crankarms, 165 mm for the left/175 mm for the right, to help him gain the upper hand for sprints.
And to help him even further, we've been thinking of using the old Shimano Biopace chainrings to synchronize his spin with the uneven crankarms.
Will this setup work?

hey extendead dnt forget the famous .....INSTANT JUNGLE HANDLEBAR REPAIR METHOD!
If u break ur bars in the middle of the trail .. go walk it out.. DO NOT! I REPEAT DO NOT TRY TO RECONNECT YOUR BARS OR TRY RIDING DOWN IN THAT CONDITION!.....
.....hAve u ever been stabbed by a 1" ice pick? iv witnessed a few.. but never took one yet heheheeheh.... (high resale value for internal organs!!!) ... i got scraped ,crazy pipe ripped my jersey and nemesis body armor and gave me a 4 stitch near my armpit, i didnt panic (Trans: di naman lumabas Kanin at ulam) so i was ok..... lol
@ rocketman... hehe tonton... lol ... MMDA outpost...lol....si extendead "pedestrian hazard", i once witnessed extendead mow down an old elderly lady at ansons makati after landing he lost control cuz he still had his eyes closed so we watched the old lady panic "patintero style" (normal reaction by ped-x when alerted to incoming dh bikes).. then .. kaboom! CONTACT!... we all stayed away laughing our ass out while he explains his actions to the old lady and the security guard!....... lol
then another pedestrian about to ride the jeep near rcbc makati..... then that night u sideswiped an old drunk man on a huffy bike... the drunk crashed then cursed at peng like super scandalous as extendead just played deaf ...we all turned and separated while shouting... HE's NOT WITH US! (Di namin kasama yan!).... hahayz...

Will this setup work? ...............No it wont... the imbalance of crank lengths will not deliver a balanced stroke thus rocking the bike at high sprinting speeds. the best option to compensate for that 10mm is .... CUSTOMIZED SHOES.... one shoe is 10mm thicker ... believe me weve tried that @ Jimi's Monster garage n machineshop ...... hehehehe.....the down stroke of the longer arm will create momentum at highspeeds enough to create distortions on the bikes forward motion and affect handling performance.... hehehe..... balanced bike for a balanced ride, just like breastmilk........ ;D

Dear Bender,
I remember you and Lester 'd' Molester racing in your skivvies and even bombing down the course clad in diapers.
It was a hit with the crowd, no doubt, but one thing I want to know:
How aerodynamic was it?
|
|
|
Post by REDNEB on Sept 22, 2007 3:16:01 GMT 8
santino quite aerodynamic.... and to think i was loaded with ginebra... heheeh Lester is more aerodynamic. even clad in womens clothes he can still perform at optimal speeds with less wind drag... to bad he broke his nose, neck, back.......... he is now a lunatic.. but he is still alive and well in baguio.....

buddy,
i was once asked for a recommend on what the maximum travel for a fork on a hardtail would be regardless of use (xc, urban, dj, all around trail, etc.).
i told the guy never go beyond 4 inches at least that's what i would personally prefer.
your comments please, thanks!
and to the readers of thisl thread who finds it cool, i would like to ask you to hit that Exalt button for redneb, extendead and ritchie and anyone else you think has upped the coolness factor here.
SHOW 'EM YOUR KARMA LOVE!
PASAWAY RULES!
