Balfaboy Added a comment about feature The Inside Line Podcast - Sven Martin, Photographer, Storyteller, MTB Superfan
9/13/2017 10:32pm
by far the best podcast yet. I think longer is better! Lets get some depth here. We are surround by interesting people in mountain biking. Up to this point a lot of these podcasts felt like ads for the brands or the latest bike coming out. Lets dig deeper!! Great work vital and much love for all that Sven does.

2/5/2016 7:35am Not cool man. I work in business and stuff like this happens all the time. Rule of thumb in the professional world is until everything is signed and doted you say nothing and when you are dealing with multiple companies this can be difficult s to coordinate but to pull someone’s personal race or religion into this is unacceptable as...

11/22/2015 6:01pm Great choice on the Remedy! I looked at that bike a lot before deciding on the stumpjumper 29. I owned a 2014 stumpy and I have yet to find a bike that I like better.

11/22/2015 3:37pm In the last 3 seasons I've ridden a 26, 29 and a 27.5 and in my personal opinion the 29 is better in every situation for even the tech riding here in BC. I had a 6inch travel 27.5 last season and although it "felt" faster on the tech and DH the race clock never lies and it was just...

I feel this a great idea. I saw early versions of the swat shorts and thought.. "why did I not think of that" I hate with a passion riding with a pack and this is a great happy medium.

Hey there hammerballs... haha. I run it a bit stiffer then most a 78psi with 4 clicks from full out on the compression and 5-7 clicks on the rebound depending on the track or trail.

Great review of the new pike. I noticed all the same issues with my fork. I'm 170 pounds and have been racing the Pike this season in various Enduro races and I have to noticed the binding issue which I found hard to explain until I read this review. I have also just started to notice the the creaking in the steertube/crowns under heavy breaking or steep terrain. I took the fork to sram during crankworx and they said it was my frame. I have to say though that the fork is amazing and feels great and overall I'm very...

jeff.brines Liked a product review Tested: RockShox Pike RCT3 Fork
8/29/2013 2:54pm
Review by Jeff Brines // Photos by Patrick Nelson RockShox has reintroduced the Pike for the 2013 season, and they've aimed it squarely at the Enduro and trail market. Like the kinda-sorta-cute girl who moved away in the 6th grade, she’s back for senior year, fully grown up and turning every head in class. The fork appears to offer an unprecedented blend of feather-like weight, stiffness and trail eating performance. But how did it stack up in real world testing? After several months of riding, here are the results... Pike RCT3 Highlights Travel options: 26 or 27.5-inch 150mm or 160mm...

I have spent a lot of time on the 29r version of this bike and I would agree with all their points about this bike. The 29r is about 30lbs. The biggest thing I loved about this bike is the postion in the bike. You get on it and it just feel right. Good Job specialized.

iceman2058 Liked a product review Tested: Royal Racing Signature Glove - Tougher Than You Think
3/5/2013 4:02pm
Review and pictures by Johan Hjord Gloves have been part of the offering from Royal Racing for many years, and for 2013, the range is wider than ever. There’s a glove for every condition and every personal preference. The Signature Glove has been around since 2011 - it's Royal’s go-to glove for riders who prefer a very thin and lightweight glove. We laid our hands on (and put them in!) the 2013 edition to see how it would hold up to a couple of months’ worth of abuse. For 2013, Royal has taken a step back towards somewhat calmer styling...

I've watched that 4 times and I'm still blown away. Most would not be that fast on a dh bike.

The first shot is one of the last corners on the Bromont WC track. I've hit that countless times and never near the speed and grace of the shot. Pure riding perfection.
