Thanks for the insight. I understand the concept behind a straight pull spoke but in my opinion it seems like the conventional spoke still has one up on the current straight pull offerings.

The radius is too tight for a dh bike, gonna have to rework the lip in the spring, it's too bad because it looked like it would work....

That's a gnarly line most of us probably didn't even realize was there! That's one of my favorite sections on my favorite trail of all time. I love the step up after that drop too.

Does anybody know if there's a straigh pull spoke out there that has a spline or something similar on the head of the spoke that mates with the hub so that the spoke won't spin when tensioning thereby negating the need for gripping the spoke with vicegrips or some similar tool?

Ah ha ha, too funny. No I think you're safe. I was just mocking Mr. Ewen. If you've ever heard his commentary you'd know what I mean.

The Blackening and Through the Ashes of Empires is their best stuff. Check out mp3fiesta 50 cents per album usually, I use it all the time. When you get up to speed on Machine Head we can talk more Wink. Hell Alive is good too, its a mix of older stuff, 10 ton hammer live is awesome.
Later.

Hey dude, you were asking about posts in the ground or just weighted down. I dig them in. if you just sit them on top of the duff layer you'll get a lot of bounce after time as the stunt will settle on the ground. Best just to dig a hole, bout 2-3ft deep, sink it in, backfill and pack them then brace the shit out of it.

I'm not the builder of that trail but I do build on the crew doing the Awakener in Castlegar. Balls Deep is one sick trail though. The buyilders should be done this year. If you make it back this way give me a message and I'll show you Awakener.
