i fully understand the hate that Maxxis gets from consumers. However, from factory teams like specialized and trek using sharpies, to their tread patterns being completely copied, they are clearly the benchmark. edit: i expect to get jumped here, and i accept that. *closes eyes and opens arms*

New Schwalbe "Assegai" coming:

I've heard rumors of HSC/LSC/LSR..... And can we hope for a coil?

The comments are gold.

I thought Danny was definitely on Nukeproof

Wait so Hart isn't on nukeproof?😂

It may seem uninteresting probably because you're missing it has adjustable CS length, BB height, and head tube angle, almost completely independent of each other. Mullet/29er compatible, adjustable leverage ratio through included shock mounts, 148 rear dropout for more wheel compatibility, and ZS56 | ZS56 head tube for angle and reach adjust. It's also already won Proving Grounds last year and best trick at Darkest this year. There's a lot going on with this bike when you dig in a bit deeper.

Bike diapers are the worst thing to have happened to MTB

Not to side track the conversation about deadly GoPro's, but this edit from Sleeper Co. got me HYPED this morning. Enjoy.

Thought you had to be banging the boss to get one of these. Ed?

The other part of the equation is master cylinder piston diameter. The smaller it is the more leverage it has over the pistons in the caliper. Think of it like you had interchangeable dropouts on your bike and you added 100mm to the rear end of your bike, that’s going to increase the leverage on the shock. The lower the amount of fluid moved for the same amount of piston movement/lever movement the more hydraulic leverage the master has. Hayes use a 9mm bore in the dominions (as far as I know) which is why they have very high hydraulic...

Am I the only person who cannot gather up an ounce of excitement for sram maven brakes? WC DH riders were on guides before the new codes came out. The codes are sweet, saints have always been awesome, the new Hayes brakes sound pretty good too. Idk man seems like we are dissecting a product that doesn’t really need to exist.

So does that mean hart actually won’t be racing a nukeproof frame after all?😂

Stop forcing bikes to wear diapers.

There's a shop in Portland (Can't remember the name.) that has a very service forward business model. They hardly sell any complete bikes. They sell coffee and beer and offer a more one on one experience with the mechanics. Sort of like a ladies hair salon where you build a more personal relationship with your mechanic.

Gwin is going to Giant to help push the Dick's Sporting Goods contract. Team Giant Dick's coming to a WC near you!

You have to remove the crankset to change the pads

Heard the main reason Dak signed with mondraker is cause they are making him a signature handlebar, with 65mm rise and a crossbar.
