WORLD CUP DOWNHILL BIKE BUILDS - PIT BITS from Snowshoe, West Virginia

With the 2019 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships from Mont-Sainte-Anne in the history books, the World Cup downhill circuit heads to Snowshoe, West Virginia, for the last and final race of the season. MSA was brutal on the racers and their bikes, so team mechanics make sure the DH machines are ready for the rocky and slick Snowshoe course. Fork rebuilds, bearing changes, wheel truings - it all happens before the racers practice for the first time on Thursday.
John Hall, Aaron Gwin's mechanic, is excited to be back in the USA, Dean Lucas' mechanic has to fix a bent chainring from Dean's crash in MSA, the Norco Aurum HSP bikes get pivot overhauls, FOX and RockShox techs rebuild forks and shocks. It's all in there as we get ready for racing in the U.S.!

Dean Lucas sure smashed his chainring good, eh?!

Love these insider bike vids Vital!

These things are works of art

2:05 is that chainring some new secret technology for improving pedal efficiency?

[@mr.bubbles9958]

felpel 102 lol

Nice bike 😍

Looks like a tiny front wheel on the bike at 0:38

The wheel was against the table in the background

2:52 Danny has the same proto shock that loris had last week. The reservoir looks like it could have a spring backed IFP because there is no valve for a shock pump. That would result in more consistent damping across a big vertical change because change in pressure of the air spring that supports the IFP would be eliminated as an issue. Interesting.

[@MrPelide1000]

How is the elevation supposed to change the ifp pressure? It's an isolated system

[@largepeep8710]

@@MrPelide1000 The net amount of force exerted outwards by a pressure vessle is relative to the pressure outside the vessle. If the pressure outside the vessle decreases, the force exerted outwards by the gas will increase. For the ifp, this would mean that at the top of a several thousand foot descent, the pressure in the air spring of the ifp would be higher than at sea level due to the change in air density outside the shock reservoir.
