vital raw from today. showtime booters mid-track should be mandatory even if they mean nothing on race day.

9/18/2025 3:04pm yep, long story but the bike in question had mechanical XTR mech and XTR cassette Then swapped to new electronic XTR mech, all the sudden groans galore The solution after much troubleshooting was Digi Mech, Deore Cassette, the owner couldn't go back to cable shifting after running the new stuff lol.

9/17/2025 2:31pm We have been finding the latest Bosch update is making shimano XT/XTR 12 speed cassettes commit suicide. They groan and creak like crazy. Put a steel deore cassette on and groan be gone. Steel is real!

9/17/2025 2:26pm with this whole points thing and the media attention the main female riders get now I would not be surprised if 3 male 1 female rider teams turn into 2 and 2 soon. Vali and Nina is a stacked team for the syndicate if they can make it happen. yes I understand the syndicate only has 2 blokes at the...

Nina Hoffmann was seen at dinner with the Specialized team in their hotel in Lenzerheide… maybe it was just Jordan Williams?

9/15/2025 2:11pm Thirion had a good year I think, Qualified constantly, always in the mix. Guy is OG as it gets (oldest besides Gwin?) and still a podium threat.

Just a buncha butthurt Yankees in here. Finding it hard to celebrate a young Canuck on top of the game. The irony is that if Jackson were American, those same butt hurt yanks would be being obnoxiously chanting ooo-rah USA! USA! with hand guns blasting in the air

9/11/2025 3:02pm Thanks for the feedback, Sydney trails are usually sandy, rocky and loose so it seems like a good fit for me. Is it weird at first and then you go "holy shit" or does it blow your socks off first ride?

Go for it, from my experience with radials it’s totally a front focused casing and I’m not gonna run it rear in the future.

9/10/2025 2:35pm Someone on PB said it could be a ruse and that a "mechanical" was the reason for his mistake, rather than letting JG know he crumbled. Who knows. That fork did look kind of funny, but Loic has always ran his fork very open from my calibrated eyeballs.

9/9/2025 2:10pm any issues running a radial front and whatever rear? For me, the front tyre is everything. I could ride a bald 5 year old DH-R on the back and not care, but the front has to be MaxxGrip and brand new. Want to try the radial thing though.

9/8/2025 4:45pm yeah she's a big horse, I often joke I could take my hands off the bars and have a cup of tea as it's so stable (1340mm wheelbase in XL) where that bike excels is exploring, I can ride from my garage, point the bike west and see so much cool stuff, 4WD trails, moto tracks or anything really it...

9/8/2025 3:01pm My norco range VLT is 30kg (66lb) that's too heavy. Combine that with a 462mm chainstay and I've basically got a YZ250 with pedals. I'd say for full power, it wouldn't want to exceed 24kg (52lb) in today's bikes with a build that could take some abuse. To answer your question, yeah weight does matter but it's relative. If a...

There is a growing scene here. While things were regressing about 12-15 years ago, the last 7+ have seen major growth. We went from zero bike parks to five (two government-funded), loads of trail centers, a few "official," but most not so official, and government-funded pump tracks. The number of riders has been increasing, yet the mountain bike race scene has been dying. But that's more of an issue with event organizers seeing gran fondos as exponentially more profitable. Riders would love to have a proper race series again, rather than just a few events a year, and this is...
