One of the DH'ers (maybe Danny Hart?) has the same or similar all over their bike. Madness.

There was a thread a few weeks ago, but yep, vibration damping stickers. Not cheap, and seemingly total cobblers...

Are they compatible with power balance bracelets, or would they cancel each other out?

I dont if theres anyone old enough and sad enough to remember the stickers sold to "audiophiles" in the eighties? Place three on your albums and the music will suddenly be more lifelike, no need for a Linn Turntable sir.

It's only worth a second per minute, she's going to need a lot more stickers to catch up with Rachel.

Is the brake lever app tells you where to put the stickers ?

How big a vibration? I was thinking of binning the FS for a hardtail with vibration stickers on the chainstays.

Are they backwards compatible with 26" wheels? or just work with 650b and enduro / dh gnarpoons?

Just think how many you could buy with the money you would have spent on forks and a shock.. you could probably have some spare to stick on your belly if needed ๐Ÿ˜†

When the page is auto translated it is saying they'll make me go 'faster, farther, longer Best results increased Plaisir'. Might try them in the bedroom.

I was LOLing out loud at the commencal site...It's like someone gave my lad some silver plasters and a bike and said "knock yourself out lad"...

THe logic sounds like a 6 year old's too - "stickers here make you faster and less buzzy..>"

I colour the edges of my rotors with a green felt tip, really improves feedback and feel.

To be fair to the guys behind that site, the science is sound.

They just haven't done the calculations very well (at all)..........

We have stickers that we use for damping vibration.

They usually weight a minimum of half a kilo.......

I was watching the video where they're talking about sensors at the start, and thinking "Hmm, well OK, different frequency vibrations have way more effect than you'd think... Changing from one carbon bar to another on my fatbike made a huge difference to my hands, but that was all trial and error, maybe you can do it with science". And then their bullshit takes a 90 degree turn and suddenly it's all job done and the bike is faster ๐Ÿ˜† I thought I'd just missed a bit or maybe it was a pop sci video and they'd just missed out all teh engineering bit where you change the parts design to tune the vibrations but, no.
