New Boxxer has integrated Ochain in the air spring.

2.5 TC here as well, averaging 23.5 mpg driving a little too fast with lots of hills on the freeway. Not awesome but better than anything other than hybrid minivan. I looked into it, the Metris is a chunk thirstier. I put on a 30mm front lift and beefier tires which makes forest roads easy. 7' x 2' plywood as a bed platform sitting on those black-and-yellow bins from HomeDepot, paired with a long Foamma 5" thick pad. Great little bed for a 6'2" guy with minimal fuss and easy to store. Fits my chonky XL enduro bike with tall...

American here so I have a town and country and contrary to popular belief it doesn't actually suck. I get 25-30mpg definitely on the high end if I'm not city driving. It's good for camping, I can fit bikes and sleep inside if I want. The stow and go seats are actually super convenient even if I keep them down 95% of the time. Can load up multiple people and bikes with just the middle seats up. It gets around in the snow pretty good for what it is and I've two tracked mine more than most and it pulls...

pffft that guy doesn't have any access to pre-production SRAM stuff. Just some old washed up dad.

This looks like a rockshox Genie

If you know of any streams or rivers along the way a pocket sized water filter can save you from humping all your water the whole way. Not racing situations but Chilcotins and LOTS rides are now 1/4 full bladder and/or just a water bottle with top ups along the way. https://cascadedesigns.com/en-ca/products/quickdraw-filter Edit- didnt answer your question at all, also on the 2012 dakine pack but I'll do anything not to wear anything on my back if I can help it

Track looked so sick! J.T. was killing it on the trail bike, and I loved the lost shoe at 5:43 and homie running it into the finish line near the end. Stoked there's a new legit DH venue in the NW. And nice vid, Matt!

Vital RAW NW Cup Snoqualimie - rough and rowdy! How about JT Fisher on the Yeti enduro bike destroying?

My fav part was the camera following bike runner's agonizing journey to the absolute last second.

Vital RAW rowdiness from NW Cup at Silver this past weekend. Lots of speed without a lot of room between the trees!

I look at those quotes and see someone who seems to be dealing with depression rather than entitlement. But to each their own.

Jonathan Helly just keeps winning on the 2024 WAO prototype DH bike. Now he's the latest Canadian DH National Champion, and took last (3) Dunbar series races in a row. It would certainly be in consideration for "the" hot new DH bike of the year if only WAO was on the World Cup circuit, still making frames and made it available to the public... Oh what could have been.

Canyon will be the first, it'll be called the phase shifter. No one on earth will use it, except for Jesse Melamed... and he will beat everyone's pants off with it. But seriously, canyon is primed for some sort of real time, variable leverage rate situation with their shape shifter. KISS... amirite?

Vital RAW from Solitude today.

ari in diapers today

Pro DH Series official track walk video below. Practice was rad today. SO DUSTY but the course turned out to be really solid. I was skeptical at first walking it, but it's getting all rutted out, speed is carried well, it has some rad, hateful compressions and off-cambers. working on Vital RAW now, should be a couple hours, but definitely turned out to be a good course considering minimal vert and some flatter sections. i'm sure there are insta clips of riders trying to huck the mid-course gap. mitch ropelato made it look way too easy. kyle strait is riding...

Lots of sick racing outside worldcups this weekend it seems. In Europe IXS EDC is at Les Orres this weekend on a mental track. Speaking of elevation, it's got some... Maybe worth a look, as they tried to get a worldcup fot some years. And it seems the whole commencal Les Orres team will race there.

PSA about the dust wiper issue: SKF makes a green (low-friction) wiper that takes care of that issue and reduces stiction. Ride it with the stock wipers until you're at 50 hours, then swap out the wiper when you're doing the first service. Le boom

Propane & propane accessories? I've got you covered. Peggy rides on the downtube because she's a dirty girl

This is the internet sir. Spoon feed me a time stamp or I'm I'm watching dogs tripping their owners on loop. Oh...and he and I already "chit chatted" prior to this publishing. Dude's fast to respond to feedback. 💪
