Added reply in a thread I don't like the direction of modern trail building
I agree for the most part. Flow trail can be fun, but mountain biking has the word “mountain”. Go in the trees, rocks, roots, alpine. To me the sport as as much exploration and discovery of land and space than the fun and riding factor. I m more about ... more »

MOUNTAIN biking... has to be in the mountains for it to be capital!
Added reply in a thread Coronavirus and MTB Events
I know it s tough for organizers, but this has been a world crisis and there should be exceptions to the rules in those conditions. It s ok to donate couple hundred dollars to the trails, but not a paycheck worth.

I had a C1 170 for awhile. I concur with much of what you said. I've owned most of the brands on the market and it was very smooth and consistent. Probably the best-feeling post I've had; not notchy or slow. However, I had to use that external bleed procedure ALOT....more

While I do not disagree with your sentiment, it is worth noting that this was filmed during the Sedona MTB festival, a couple of weeks ago, while town was at maximum capacity. It can also be argued that this is in fact important to my daily routine as this is a large...more

This was almost 3 weeks ago, before all the "lockdown" and freak out about the virus came around. And it was just the 2 of us, those guys turned right...stay healthy, get outside

Absolutely true, but if he filmed this even 12 days ago there wasn't the same urgency and widespread practice that we had 5 days ago... The Sedona MTB festival happened full-force with hundreds of people rubbing elbows just 2 weekends ago.

Curious to know what regulations are in Downieville for them to be able to be up there on Ebikes? Are those all accès motorized trails? National Forest? Private?

Spectacular paint job. This has always been the best look for Yetis.

Great paint, but I would stay black walls and a yellow/turq wheel decals would finish the job nicely

Added a comment about product review A Legend Reborn? Testing The New 2020 Marzocchi Z1 Coil Fork

The rhythm 36/34 and Marzzochi z1/Z2 do have the same bore size. When you step up to performance, elite or factory, the stanction internal diameter is bigger due to the thickness of the tubes. That s how the Marzzochi and rhythm fox are heavier forks.

Added a comment about product review Tested: Stan’s Flow EX3 Wheelset

I was part of the testing program on those wheels. I ve had 27.5 and 29 on variety of bikes.
I was actually using the OS hub on an Ebike, with regular EXO tires. I haven’t had a dent nor a broken axle, and there are watts on ebike!
98% of the broken axles come from the wheel axle getting loose, which allows enough play in the free hub to move out, and engage sideways. Resulting in flipping the pawls in the freehub.
I ve seen the same problem happen on I9 and couple others in my shop.
Also with the XD driver and eagle, it torques quite a bit more on the axle. There are better hubs out there, but for the money, one of those sets is pretty awesome quality, and as said above, warranty service is very good.
