LMK if it works, I could use a Hilux too

How is GoPro not related when I'm watching winning world cup race runs week in and week out on the GoPro Bike YouTube Channel? (Daks helmet sponsor too) On YouTube GoPro Bike has 91k subs vs GoPro Snow at 152k. I honestly thought the gulf of bike to snow would be much larger. Seems like bikes are a huge segment of the market for GoPro (and it's slowly slipping to Insta360 and DJI) I bet a fair amount of people in here have owned a GoPro and basically only used it on their bike. Highly relevant.

Hope so, They posted this on their facebook: "Major events update- After several years of delivering national and world-level events for others, we have made the decision to move ahead in a different direction in 2027, with a brand-new major event of our own. Next week we will be launching a new event where we have the creative freedom to bring new ideas and a fresh take on gravity mountain bike events to life. For the past few months, we have been working on something new. A mountain bike event that is more of a revolution, than an evolution. This...

Regarding being born in 2004, all three were on the podium as juniors at the 2021 worlds at Val di Sole

Great write up!

Jackson’s POV. Hit the ludicrous speed button

Jackson's winning run. I'll just post a link here, rather than embedding the video, because even though it's on Youtube I expect it will get deleted. Also, the audio is horrendous. Still, if you want to see poetry in motion and you haven't seen his run, the video is apparently from the broadcast and is excellent quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqOG3G4K5Yw

Once Jackson's sister showed up and surprised him in the pits, after that heartfelt hug, it was pretty much over for all the other senior men's racers. I think she deserves a cut of his winnings, just like his mechanic.

there never needs to be another MTB scrub done ever again. HOLY CRAP!

Dear Dougal, I know your favorite past time is to shit on the hard engineering work of people and then yell at them when they try to engage you in good faith arguments. I get that you are also trying to be helpful, and probably mean less malice than it comes across over the internet because, frankly, the internet is a shithole of everyone yelling at each other. But Vital has been a space that seems to have remained a refuge of reasonability despite everything else falling to click and rage bate. I am glad Vital is not the pinkbike...

Yes and no. A proportionately larger negative chamber makes the initial part of the spring curve more linear (but really just less digressive, still definitely NOT linear), and it makes the last segment of travel more progressive. Most of the direct effects of the bigger negative chamber happen in the first 25-ish percent of travel, which you can see in the graph. The increased ramp up in the last 75-ish percent of travel is due to the fact that you have to run more pressure with a larger negative spring to get the same sag point, which inherently requires more...

As a matter of fact, @TheSuspensionLabNZ mentioned that a few posts ago and had some strongly worded thoughts on the matter: "Whatever you do, and before someone else suggests it do NOT wipe the grease out of the air spring - that will only make things worse." TLDR this customer's fork is too progressive already, and wiping out the grease will make the negative air spring volume even bigger and make the fork more progressive.

A new v10 isn’t comming out next month lol
