Great discussion! I will never go back to working on wheels without a tension meter. I used to build wheels for myself all the time using the hand-gauge method, but they would come loose really fast during hard downhill riding. It wasn't until I worked at a shop that I was introduced to the tension meter. It looked slow and inefficient, and I figured my hand gauge worked just fine, so we had plenty of discussions/arguments with the crew at the shop about it. So one time I'm building up a wheel for myself at the shop, same as always...

SRAM are developing a mechanical anti-dive/pitch/endo system, where the bike has a dual-use lever that sends fluid to a rear caliper, and the rear caliper sends fluid to the front caliper. The new part here is that the rear caliper pivots. When the pads grab the rotor, the caliper is sent forward and a little valve hits a bumper to open and close a valve to allow fluid flow to the front caliper. Then the bike starts to pitch forward and the rear tire comes off the ground, the back tire stops spinning and the rear caliper goes back to...

I am not shocked, i've heard nuttier ideas. We shouldn't force teams to sign anyone, there are about 30 registered trade teams in the UCI, there are women on I think 14 of those teams, so almost half of the teams have recognized the benefits of having women on their programs. I am co-team manager for SRAM TLD RACING, Vali Holl's race program and these benefits aren't just to practice some moral licensing, it is because she is very marketable, very good with product development, insane to watch on a bike, fun to be around and has a growing and...

From what I've seen, there are less women racing at the world cup level because there are less women racing at the local level. I participated in a race that was called the "Trail Bike Downhill." Think of it as a one stage enduro, before the EWS existed. As long as your bike was not a full blown DH race rig, you could enter. There were 35-40 total participants across a number of classes. Less than 5 of them were women. I also took a mountain biking class in college and only one third of the class were women, and...
