Buckets Up Added a reply to Sustainable Brands in the MTB Industry
9/22/2024 7:08am Well a person has two options: 1) Try to make the best decisions possible (vote with your dollar) while still living life. This is in regard to sustainability, social causes, etc. OR 2) Take up direct action to spark a groundswell revolution and remove the late-stage capitalist system that will ultimately destroy the planet if not reigned in. Very few...

9/21/2024 9:17am There is a solid Blister podcast recently with the FlyLow founder where they discuss pfas free dwr. California is requiring all outerwear to be pfas free starting in 2025 so any company wanting to sell there or to a large store (Evo, REI, etc) who has locations there will be pfas free soon.

4. Odds that YouTube users - especially mtb video watchers - click on an attractive lady: 95% 5. Odds that YouTube's algorithm prefers/promotes videos with thumbnails of people's faces more than products thumbnails: 100% Just wanted to also add those in there.

There are probably plenty of ways to decide AG is a good guy. I wouldn't count tasteful youtube thumbnails as a significant deciding factor.

1. Odd AG chose the thumb nail: zero. 2. Odds he chose it because it was a nice picture, a bit higher. 3. Oodds he chose it consciously or not to demonstrate his ccommitment to family, 3%.

8/14/2024 10:20am This comment is so asinine. What ‘type’ of man is Aaron? What type of man would he be if the thumbnail was riding? Would he not love his wife? Not to mention the thumbnail was probably chosen by an editor and Aaron may not have even given input.

Ebikes are only for older folks and people with physical disabilities that would otherwise limit their riding.

Could you use a through axle for a 150x12 frame and add a couple of washers to make it smaller? I know Hadley still makes them.

Shimano AX76 looks like it might fit the bill?

Buckets Up Started a new thread Esoteric hub question - Do you know of a 12mm solution like described below?
7/23/2024 12:18pm Long story medium, I am trying to source a hub solution for either 142mm or 148mm spacing and a 12mm axle, however, there is a caveat. It needs to be able to secure itself (i.e., not a traditional thru-axle). In a perfect world, the hub would be bolt on like Hope SS/Trials hub, but it appears they only make this...

Why did you decide to go with a chain tensioner and guide if you’re set-up single speed on sliding drop-outs?

Buckets Up Added a reply to Slopestyle Riders Boycott Crankworx Rotorua Because of Low Prize Pay, Lack of Appearance Fee
4/2/2024 10:47am I was being hyperbolic. The original argument was that Slopestyle riders shouldn't ask to be paid more because if Slopestyle went away, the O.P.'s life wouldn't be impacted. The original argument was disingenuous, now your ability to detect nuance further reinforces that. There are countless jobs that are unnecessary or redundant, does that mean those people shouldn't get paid. Virtually...

4/1/2024 2:36pm Dude, like 50% of jobs in the world could go away tomorrow and nothing would change. In many cases the world might get better. Thats the dumbest argument for not paying someone I’ve ever heard.

I keep trying to avoid this thread for what it's become but somehow the takes are getting even worse. First of all, in the way you are arguing, yes the tricks specifically don't matter that much. In the show aspect. But it's still a competition with scoring and win bonuses for sponsors. So that's why it's relevant. If they want to turn it into a non-scored exhibition that's totally fine and I think the exact same kind of people would go for the exact same type of riding. People seemed plenty happy to watch the girls ride (at a level...

3/27/2024 12:46pm There had to have been complications there! Skiers blow knees all the time and standard recovery to full play is 9-12 months
Buckets Up Added a reply to 2024 TEAM RUMORS
3/27/2024 9:21am Different sport, but also more knee reliant. Johnny Collinson, professional free skier blew everything in his knee (ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL, fractured tibial plateau, and even patellar tendon I believe) and has made a full comeback. It took ~2 years and he is a fitness freak. There have been NFL running backs who have been back on the field in...

CW should just be grateful they get to do something they like. It's not the riders fault CW can't get enough sponsors because they are'nt good enough at their jobs. They could oraganise parties as a side gig for extra cash and if they can't do that they should do something else and give the chance to other up and coming events who will do it for less money. It is just supply and demand. If the market does'nt think CW is worth the money then they deserve to fail. If they don't like the paying the riders they can...
