TRP and Formula are the only mainline brands I haven’t tried yet. My wife had Quads on her REEB and they were terrible but I made no attempt to diagnose why. I haven’t tried or felt the DHR Evos, a lot of riders I see on them run their levers super far out, which isn’t something I prefer. Curas have interested me for a while but I haven’t found a good enough deal on them for me to want to try them. They sound interesting but things I read about them make me feel iffy on whether or not I’d...

I don't think it's a one-piece suit, I think it's a skin suit. The word "suit" doesn't mean one-piece, it means that all the pieces of a garment form one unit of garment. For instance, a men's formal suit can be a two-piece suit (slacks and jacket) or a three-piece suit (slacks, jacket, and vest). One suit comprises multiple pieces. The UCI rule bans " jerseys designed for road cycling, skinsuits, or one-piece suits" The key word here is "or." "Or" means that any one of those three things are banned. Is it a road jersey? No. Is it a...

As someone who actually likes having to change tires so they can try more different tires, the Conti rear DH soft compounds have been wearing frustratingly (half kidding) slow. Grip is comparable if not better than maxxis maxxterra and the knobs barely show signs of wear after a season of northeast bike park and granite slab riding. Pretty impressive and good for the wallet. Just put a DH casing soft compound argotal on the back of my levo so interested to see how the taller knobs wear.

Maxxis DC is horrific on some surfaces. If you want a long wearing durable tire look at Conti DH casing soft, it'll be way better than Maxxis DC.

Imagine making your dream bike with adjustable chainstays. Develop your short and long settings. Now put the CS in long position and remove the ability to adjust. Problem solved.

Thanks! I finally saw a clip of him riding it on IG. He definitely isn't getting the coverage that he used to. I'm wondering if the reason he was let go by Canyon is the same reason he's seemingly being blacklisted by the MTB media.

Sorry if this is dumb: I had the same surgery this winter and I think riding after 6 weeks would be possible as a pro with nothing to do but heal/recover, maybe, but would've been really on the edge. That track seems rough on the hands too, so I wouldn't expect much if she does race.

TEAMROBOT Liked a reply to forum topic 170mm 36 vs 38 fork: which would you prefer?

3/14/2024 4:21am
I really don't think a 6.3mm decrease in seal circumference is going to be a game changer for you, or even noticeable, but you're right that the 36 is lighter. I think there are riders for whom the increased flex of a smaller fork can be good. Probably riders under 150 pounds/68 kg. I'm not one of them, and I'm so glad the bigger forks are available. It was an immediately noticeable effect for me and an instant upgrade as a big tall guy with heavy tires and big brake rotors. If you're a lighter rider and bike weight is...

Thanks friend. I guess it was time to make an account after all, haha. To clarify a few things: - Yes, the title is abrasive, but I feel that I’ve justified that opinion in (too much) detail throughout the video. I’m not on YouTube to make money, considering I make less than C$4 RPM after tax. I also never pushed my resume/background in my video. - After I connected the rear brake, I cycled the pistons to probably 50% of what was recommended in the manual to ensure they were moving smoothly, which they were. I noticed minimal difference between...
