I really think the enduro courses need to go back to being big, unassisted days out on the bike and the Finale course looked like a step in the right direction. Making the liaisons super tight really can ruin a race though and turn it from a tough, hard fought day into a miserable and dangerous suffer-fest. Finale has always been a physical race with quite tight liaisons and brutal stages. To put some numbers on it; in 2016 the first climb of day 2 was 1000m vertical from the beach to the nato base and the time given was...

"One other way to think about this - If Crankworks stop supporting slope events, are there other organizers clamoring to host them because they are so valuable on the global stage? Are the athletes so valuable that there are organizers around the world just itching to setup events to fill this place? I don't think so." Yeah, I get the impression that many think this is some sort of massive moneymaker for... well, I have no idea for whom it's a big revenue stream. How many people attend this event and what do they pay for the privilege? Red Bull's...

Reading the riders' statement, I think its important to parse it into two parts. 1) Safety: The riders should have a major say in course safety, features and conditions. This is a totally reasonable thing to aim at being there is a direct connection between the organizers, the riders and course building. If they simply took a stand over this alone, I think they'd have a lot of success getting their way. 2) Pay: The idea that the riders "deserve" something because they are putting their lives on the line unfortunately doesn't hold much water elsewhere in life. I can...

Yeah I'm changing the plans now, and to be honest - although I understand the rider's concerns and agree with many of them, what I don't agree on is the time they chose to bring their concerns to light. They not only affected Crankworx (whom they have the issues with) but they also negatively affected all of the spectators/fans that were at Rotorua. If they had these concerns why wait until the day of to completely shut down the event? They said in their statement "we put our bodies on the line" - and I agree, they do... but as...

They're pretty good I haven't had any irregular issues. Just the occasional truing/tightening of the spokes. I have had a few sets of these rims and have only broken one of them but that was definitely not the rims fault, I don't think there is a rim on the market that would have held up to that type of hit.

I ride and race a Knolly Warden Carbon. 170mm Fox 36 and Cane Creek Coli IL. Honestly this bike is crazy capable. I race Enduro and I built this bike with that in mind.My Warden is still fun for after work trail rides and all the way to DH races. Its all about feeling comfortable and confident with your bike...

Im sure you are sick of answering this but how do you like it??? I ride a PIVOT Mach 6 and I really want to get a new evil for Enduro racing and Resort riding. I can only have one bike so it has to do it all!!! I was dead set on a "Following" but now I just saw that evil is releasing the "Wrekoning" and I have no idea what direction I want to go in... Thanks!!!!
