re the MTB, I got on a Sant Cruz blur LT after many years riding a fully rigid bike. I really think I have no idea how to tune these things, I never mess around with damping save for the compression damping on the rear. If it's set full soft, seems like the rear end has trouble getting traction in snow and mud. Other than that, I tune understeer out with front tire pressure.

Your car project should be the bomb when it's done.
That was 2 days later (Lance won the 2 stages we saw). But knowing Cipo's reputation did help me. As he was about to emerge from his trailer, I walked up with the jersey to see a dozen or so guys hovering, all of us with stuff for him to sign. And one smoking hot chick. So I line up right behind her. He walks out, scans the crowd, goes straight to her, signs her hat and my jersey, then hops on his bike to warm up. He even gave me a smirk and a nod as if to say he knew it had been my plan. Applied logic at work!
