Hablo un poco de inglés, pero no muy bien. Siempre hago todo lo posible para hacerme entender.

I agree about the unavoidability of Strava, but I drew a different conclusion about how to respond to that reality. Instead of working extra hard to hide the trail, keep it secret, and try to avoid people who use Strava from finding out about a trail, I think illegal trail building should be built in such a way to anticipate, plan for, and hope for people to find out about the trail. The question should be: if this trail is going to be discovered by the authorities no matter what, how can I build it so that it's worth maybe...

While I would love a USD boxxer, its probably a hand dyno for the shock service guys

When the stumpy 15 dropped they did a PB podcast and they also basically said “yeah no evo, it has to special/gnarly to get the evo name” That lasted like less than a year, I think their philosophy is pretty money centric lol.

Old waki drawings?! Haven’t thought about him in a hot minute! I hope he’s enjoying life and riding if he still wants to.

Very curious to see what impact, if any, this has on gearbox/belt uptake in WC and beyond...

The cassette is just xt with the top 4 gears removed

Took the below photo of Asa's bike with what I think is a prototype TRP caliper, cant recall if its been posted before apologies if it has.

Yeah, I was referring specifically to their shock hardware, which I think was made of cheese for a long time until some of the fairly free cheeses hit the bolt market.

Wasn’t there a huge discussion here last year about that and the conclusion basically came down to airflow being negligible in cooling an mtb shock?

I believe the Spark is a Linkage-driven single pivot w/ a flex stay, unlike the Genius (4bar) and Ransom (6bar). If I'm wrong, someone please correct me!

Seriously, the bikes are not bad, but the headset shit needs to die

has scott finally learnt, you can hide the shock etc but putting cables through the headset kills sales.... I wouldve owned the genius/ransom but they had to put a plastic ring with headset routing... yeah no, no plastic in headsets thanks.
