I have a fenix 6 and I love it. I wanted a GPS watch with a long battery life and the ability to store music and play via bluetooth headphones for road bike rides. It has worked a charm and when not using the tracking/GPS, the battery will last 10+ days. ... more »

Very impressive - I know Cannonball well and this leaves me feeling like an asthmatic sloth nursing a weapons-grade hangover

Over 4+ minutes absolutely pinned on a wet track, most every gap being ballsy as heck at full tilt, both having those sketch drop rock to blind berm turns memorized and pegged.

No clicking, just the wooshing sound as others have mentioned. Get in contact with EXT (or whoever distributes them in NZ). I figure as a small, boutique brand, they would be keen to solve the problem for you.

Love the idea and video, but PLEASE wear eye protection when cutting metal! I work with eyes and the amount of young guys who end up blind or partially sighted because they didn't wear eye protection when cutting or hammering metal is higher than you'd think.
Looking forward to the next installment!

For those of us who value our time in the air as much as our time on the ground a smaller and lighter front wheel and fork is absolutely preferable. And is easily the most difficult adjustment to make switching to 29ers. I’m a proponent for mullets and my next bike will prob be one but if I...more

So your argument is that Adults use 29ers because they're faster and that you're not dumb and everyone else needs to grow up?!
Thats some black belt level cognitive dissonance there

It is irresponsible for Vital to promote these bikes to its readership. I bought a hardtail in my late 30s. Now I ride only at the dirt jumps, surrounded by 15-year-olds, wearing jeans that look like they could be my wife’s. It is no way to live.

Added a comment about product review Italian Suspension for Your Enduro Bike: EXT Storia Lok v3 Reviewed
The EXT storia V3 has easily made the most notable positive improvement to the bike I currently ride, and I would go as far to say of any upgrade I can remember making. The bike (Rallon R5) has it issues with rear suspension/blowing through its travel. The storia manages to be both plusher than the DHX2 it replaced whilst also giving much more mid and end stroke support. The control it has over varying terrain is brilliant. Its lighter too, if thats your thing. Admittedly it may not make such an obvious improvement on other bikes, and I can't comment on how it would compare to a custom tuned DHX2, but I would be loathed to go back now. In the UK at least, they are distributed via Chris at MOJO. I was sent a V2 to trial some different tunes and spring rates before the V3 was ordered. Probably the closest to feeling like pro-level treatment that I'll ever get

Man, common. If you want to share your opinion, you have to expect that someone will disagree. No one is burning you at the stake. Don't be so melodramatic.
If you were a true "diehard" Transition fan you wouldn't be jumping ship so quickly.
Oh and, this site is noting like PB.
