![]() ![]() And again, while I havent done a scientific study, by riding the bike it is really easy to understand that the benefits of this bike's pedalling efficiency far 'outweigh' any performance advantage that may exist due to weight differences between this bike and many/most/all other 7" travel bikes on the market. This technology greatly improves the pedalling efficiency of this bike. The Maelstrom uses an idler pulley mounted to the swingarm. However, from an even broader perspective, if efficiency and pedaling are what are important to you, then the story gets far deeper. And if you were to use an Elka High Tensile steel spring, you would really be surprised by the weight savings! ![]() I encounter many riders who use shorter E-E shocks, but due to higher leverage ratio are stuck with springs in the 500, 600,800 range. Even in steel, these springs are very light. Most riders who ride a Maelstrom will use a spring rate of about 250 pounds. I havent done an exact study on the weight of various shocks and the resulting spring rates versus the leverage ratios. His is the frame in the picture.Ĭlick to expand.Hi, this is Doug from Corsair. Sick bike, pedals great, bulletproof frame, so far so great! Ohh yea, my buddies complete Hammer Maelstrom weighs in at 38 lbs! Thats with some sweet components, so the weight could be down there. All day, epic Freeriding gets tough after 15 miles with a 41 lbs rig. If I swap out Hammer for a LG setup, she would be 39 lbs. Low center of mass makes it very flickable for tricks in the bike park. So for now, I feel that for bike park riding, chairlift and shuttling this bike is one of the best single crown options out there. I keep my reviews flowing in on the Maelstrom. Idler pulley sounds like your running a chainguide a little fuzzy velcro inside and wet chain lube helps keep her quiet. 2:1 is very supple and small bump complient, while still feeling bottomless on drops and such. Ribbon, Free Lunch (x4) and down Eagles Wing to Holly Cross. So after 15 miles or so of up and down, I was spent. My build is stout and she comes in right now at about 41 lbs with Hammerschmidt. I believe this is praise to the rear axle path, combine this with the idler pulley and you have great pedal efficiency. I have to say, I am inspired by the Maelstrom's ability to devour rough terrain. Just recently got back from my trip to Grand Junction. I think that is enough for now.Ohh, I almost forgot about the locking pivot hardware. I believe this could be the best FR bike on the market. I consider myself a MTB tester so I'm ready to have a go at her. I work at Treads Bicycle Outfitters in Lakewood, so that is how I could pimp out my ride. I'll be sure to get some photos and update my review. Some friends and I are planning a trip to head over to the Lunch Box in Grand Junction. Great balance point and very stiff throughout. Hell Yea! The snow is now piling up here in Denver, so its only been urban riding so far. It's the only bike on the market to come stock with a 3.5" Stroke - Roco World Cup. These are my favorites points: Rearward Axle Path - Idler Pulley for Pedal Performance (mix in Hammerschmidt compatability with the pulley too) - 2:1 Leverage Ratio - Super stiff frame - Adjustable Head Angle - 150mm Rear end - Full length seat tube - 180mm Travel to perfectly match FR forks to. Corsairs' attention to detail and frame refinements are some of the best in the industry. The actor, James Baskett, who portrayed Uncle Remus, was the very first African American Actor to be given an Academy Award for his performance.This is my new 09 Corsair Maelstrom Hammer, large - dirt. The character, Uncle Remus, is an old African American man who has a heart of gold and kind words for the young boy. The film is about a young boy being told stories about Br’er Rabbit and the clever ways he gets out of trouble with lessons taught in each story. It’s a ride where you see many fun animals and sing cheerful and uplifting songs, all based on the classic film Song of the South. The Splash Mountain ride is considered by many to be classic. PHOTOS: Br’er Rabbit Bronze Statue Removed From Hub at the Magic Kingdom Then he likely will not return and they hope people will simply forget. They will probably use this opportunity to changes around the park all while saying it’s for the anniversary celebration. Disney will likely be removing all the statues to replace them with the 50th Anniversary ones. Now the Br’er Rabbit statue in the hub area around Cinderella Castle has been removed. ![]()
