Seriously, this is awesome. I don't understand all the hating. Photo taken moments away from a WC win in which Gwin slipped a pedal and ran the super sketchy roots at the bottom of the course not clipped in. Think about it, WC win is like having your name etched in the Stanley Cup. It's forever. Sick moto-style scrub Gwin. You are the man. Period.
what gordanfreman said is totally true. i've ridden the Red Wing stuff a bit and it's pretty good, though short. it's pretty much xc, dj and very short dh in the mpls area. I haven't ridden these, but I have seen a TON of pedal rebuild kits sold for all Crank Bros. pedals. For me that was a sign to stay away.
I'm very happy with my DMR V12's - I have 3 pair - at 432g they're light and the pins are very grippy + they sell Pimp My Pedal kits with 4 colors of pins and pedal end caps. Dope. true the front triangles look similar but the rear suspension of the Appalache and Trek Session 88 are very different.
I'm my opinion when Trek developed the Session 10 they ripped off the Balfa BB7/Appalche system. what? looks nothing like an Apalache - those are basically Balfa BB7's - I had one and likely my favorite bike of all time.
Session 88's look to be the stuff for '09. These 2 riders are going to rip and they'll have a great team backing them. About Us
