I’m not going to get into a bitching match with you. Everybody on this has their own opinion. You may think your views are correct and I happen to disagree. That’s all. I’ll let you chime back in so you can have the last word. Have a nice evening.

@jeff.brines I realize I'm honing in on this one example you've raised, but it's just such a good case study of the problem. You've really got to dig a little deeper when you come across these seemingly outrageous cases of conservative censorship. While I'm not going to watch the hours of video you shared on the PragerU website to find what might have caused it to be flagged as mature (I'm also not familiar with YT policy), the lawsuit case doc does provide an answer to your stated challenge: "Show me the same type of censorship or restriction with left...

@jeff.brines we clearly not going to agree on this topic, but I just have to point out the irony of the conservative idea censorship example you posted. It is such a great example, but not of what you were hoping. You may be good it filtering the news to identify what will move the markets, but I'm not sure you're so good at sorting out facts, fiction, and clickbait. It's hilarious that you, after proclaiming your skills for professionally disseminating the news, sends me an example from one of the great websites at creating click bait, emotion driven headlines. And...

@jeff.brines it is classic how your examples of censorship consist of crazy conspiracies and right wing propaganda clearly coordinated to impact an election. How about some examples of core conservative ideas (not conspiracies) being censored. Or are those the same thing at this point? It does seem that these crazy conspiracies seem to be mostly on the right (hi infowars). However, all these covid conspiracy topics that are being complained about being censored, have permeated both the far right and far left (google "the horseshoe theory"). The amount of new-agey lefties being converted into anti-vaxxer, q-anon, anti-mask, trump supporters is...

Gwin has incredible talent, drive, and a serious work ethic. I still remember watching him ride and race in-person in late '00s and early '10s, and being absolutely blown away by what I was seeing. I hope he returns to the top of the sport, and I'll be cheering for him every run. But, the whole part where he was insinuating that Instagram was suppressing his reach because of his beliefs was pretty laughable. C'mon bruh.

boom Added a comment about feature First Ride REVIEW Orbea RISE - Sub-40-Pound e-MTB

Hates ebikes, is all of a sudden concerned for hikers. Talk about being emotionally invested in being an ebike hater, lol. With your average rider on an average grade climb, a full powered ebike can climb at around 10mph. Regular bikes and ebikes can then descend on the same trail as fast as the rider is capable of. In many cases the ebike won't be able to go as fast as the regular bike on the way down. So climbs aren't the problem, it's the downhills. Both types of bikes have the same safety issues on multi-use trails, because they...

I thought that original e*thirteen was the most aggressive and impressive cornering tire i've ever ridden due to those side knobs. Hard cornering in loose conditions was a dream. Rolling resistance wasnt ideal in the rear, the new race ones are on par with minions in that regard.

Regardless, they aren't in business to lose money. Make what the current market demands and you'll stay in business. Make what the loud minority wants and you'll be out of business.

I watched the video a few times. There's a lot said and a lot to address, but I'm going to just respond to the points pointed out by Vital. 1)Do eMTB’s do more damage to trails than regular analog pedal bikes? Joe cites that there has been very little, to no real, research done. While he feels the impact is no different from a regular mountain bike, data talks and BS walks. - The problem is, so many eMTB haters prefer to judge ignorantly than to actually comprehend any data presented to them. A lot of eMTB haters bring up...

I wonder what percentage of e mountain bikers are actually hacking their $5 to 10k ebikes and voiding the warranty? Highly doubt it is "the vast majority." Pretty sure Specialized can also detect this through their app. Also hilarious that in this day and age people would say something like "stop showing ebikes shredding" as though that is a realistic...
"Why would an E-bike (that weighs 15-20 lbs more) not damage a trail more than a regular bicycle" The range of rider body weights makes 15 extra pounds of bike weight insignificant.. Possibly this important study will conclude that trails should have a weight limit and weight station at the trail-head. If the rider + bike (ebike or regular) is...
No, but the topic posted is about class one ebikes and that they are too powerful. I test rode a Levo today. I noticed that when I pedaled while going downhill I got no benefit from the motor. I actually could generate more speed pedaling while going downhill on my normal bike. My times on all my downhill segments were...
"The industry also needs to stop presenting that we are somehow better than motorized users because we have to pedal to access that power. It is immaterial that a motorcycle does not have to be pedaled." Nope. Pedal assist (along with speed caps) is the clear differentiator from a traditional motorcycle. There is a big difference between how you ride...

Disagree with the stance of this article from an opinion basis, but there is also numerous incorrect pieces of info, I also do not appreciate Vital's choice of image for the lead (Racer guy hammering, and some dude bobbling on a roach emtb with no helmet, no proper attire, etc....that misleads the reader that all people on an eMTB are this guy). It is not a different sport and its as much as a different tool as a hardtail XC bike is to a 160mm trail bike. You are a test rider, and all you came away with is "heavy...

Thanks for the props! Can't promise it's something we'll always be able to do, but we really felt like it was all the bike needed this time around and we were stoked that it was a fairly small change from an engineering standpoint - it was that extra little bit we were looking for after spending a year on the bike and collecting feedback from riders.
