I'm confused, maybe I'm misreading this, but are you complaining that a mountain biker is getting paid? Remy makes great content, his videos are meticulous, and clearly he works hard at it. I feel like this is a place where we support riders.

yeah, that was my shot. people kept walking right behind me as if I didn't have a camera in hand and occupying the spot. I was able to move to the other berm for the mens race and I soon found that I should have been there the whole time.

STREWTH, first “overbiked” and now “overtired”. Look mate, some folks only have one bike. It’s nice to have a big rig with meaty dh rubber. Just cos you see people riding mellow trails on big bikes doesn’t mean they don’t also see proper terrain and abuse. We get it, you’re amazing. You ride WC DH tracks on a XC unicycle with a 23mm slick. Good for you. DH casing tyres on trail/enduro bikes, yes please.

Or, and hear me out here, this might be tough for some to hear, our own individual experiences do not define those of others. None of us ride the same trails, on the same bikes, in the same style, at the same speeds. What works for one, might not work for others, and our individual experiences are proof of nothing other than our own experiences, and even those are full of bias cause we all think we are doing/making the best decisions for ourselves. We could all do with taking a step back every now and then when telling others...

8/16/2023 2:36pm I'm picturing a firm rubber washer under new tape (maybe a couple layers around that spot) so you can use a presta valve cinched tight without it pulling through the slightly wider rim hole, then same or a bigger o-ring under the outer collar. now that I've typed that out, seems like a cut tube would have a similar effect

Shocks are often tuned off of average leverage ratio so as long as travel remains the same then general tuning would still be accurate. If tune is done for a specific spot in travel then that's out the window as soon as leverage curve changes. Damping force as felt at the wheel is inversely proportional to leverage ratio squared for anyone who's curious. As for spring rate or shock pressure, increasing progression while travel remains fixed generally results in a higher leverage ratio at the sag point. So to keep the same sag point you'd need to increase spring rate/pressure...

8/3/2023 8:12am won't disagree that there's health benefits in many cases, but pretty big assumption to make that this (or any person) has any weight to lose. nothing wrong with product innovation to accommodate a broader range of body types.

Yeah, GCN+ if you're listening...the most recent race replays shouldn't be the 4th columm of videos down the screen. And when I click the junior race, at the end of that race, there should be a link to the next video in chronological order or it should do a 5-10 second countdown and auto play. Had to close the video. Scroll down 4 columns Slide over 6-8 videos Hover the mouse and squint to the see the title Click the video. Repeat. Did that 5 times today catching up on the replays. And why don't they have a freaking ROKU...

Sigh. 100 to 1? According to what dataset? VitalMTB is a website, not a reflection of reality. The actual demographic mix is something between 70-30 and 80-20. Back when I produced an all women ski film I dove into the demographics data across a number of mountain sports in painstaking detail. Most mountain sports mirror this 80-20 to 70-30 mix and hasn't changed too much over the last 10 years (though it has moved toward more women participating, which is awesome). Why has it changed? Its really hard to point at a single variable but I'd argue technology being more...

Hi, Basti from SQlab here, Sorry for being late, we had a public holiday in Germany, yesterday. Upfront, I am in charge for int. Marketing here, so it is only me to blame, plus maybe our team rider Stevie, with whom I created the whole campaign idea, which the video is the most important part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nquh2lM75X8 Before I post our official statement, I want to point out first, that on a shooting side, we simply fucked up. We never wanted the butts to look same and female on the first look. We wanted the widest spread of different butts as...

Good to see my predictions are ringing true. Just my $0.02 but if a fraction of the time went into real, actionable, community focused efforts the sport would in fact be more inclusive, open and (frankly) rad. For all the do-gooders in this thread, play your actions forward. Lets say your really mean emails get the company to issue a press release apologizing. Man, do you feel good, what a victory. But what really changes? As far as I can tell, absolutely nothing. If you think you'll stop the utilization of sex in advertising I'd suggest you get your head...

I saw the ad on another site and though nothing of it. It seemed pretty clear there was mix of male and female butts. Coming here confirmed that. I would say the biggest issue with the ad was it didn’t make me want to go check their saddles. But then I am not sure what ad would make me go check out a companies saddles.

Yeah, wow, guilty as charged. Those posts look reeeeeally bad to my eyes now, but I definitely wrote that, so apparently it seemed like a great idea at the time. I cannot believe I posted those as an adult and as a sponsored athlete. If I could take back those words, I would. I apologize for my retrograde asshole opinions and for probably making other people feel uncomfortable or unwelcome in our sport. Having been on both sides of this issue, I feel pretty strongly that we should (politely) look out for retrograde asshole opinions that make people feel uncomfortable...

So, is the perception of all women models and the appropriateness of the ad for selling underwear ON a bike site the main issue? If the ad featured 100% male or trans individuals, would you be okay with it? What about 75% male/trans? Clearly, 50% doesn't seem right. It's odd that your wife, who worked in marketing, doesn't see the value in something that grabs attention. It's quite common for people to say, 'Ah, I got tricked by this!' Getting everyone to realize that their assumption (pun intended) was wrong and that it's not solely about objectifying women is the...

wow you guys are some SQ-uares indeed! Gnarly stance to take on a pretty tame ad, one that even saw your righteous outrage coming and pre-empted you by putting manbutt blockers in there. Does this all jive with your stances on God Squad DHers, transphobic stage dad/TMs, and cowboy stars'n'stripes family values vloggers? How are you going to make it all work out? You're doomed! You cannot possibly have the energy required to be angry about this. The biggest gripe I have with this campaign is the domme / toadie character tropes...pretty cornball, but it's Germans...and it's bike seats, so...
