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

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...

3/23/2024 8:26am Dude, I think you are projecting one event with one person onto an entire group. We all know how that goes. I’ve been lucky enough to meet many many pro riders in my life and all of them have been nothing but incredibly nice. I’m sorry one rider may have laughed at you, but that certainly doesn’t mean they are...
Buckets Up Added a reply to Slopestyle Riders Boycott Crankworx Rotorua Because of Low Prize Pay, Lack of Appearance Fee
3/23/2024 8:20am Again, I love how everyone is quick to blame the riders. We don’t have any of the info. It is just as likely Crankworx promised them certain conditions for the event this year and then once the riders were there, did not follow through assuming they would just ride. Why is the burden on the riders and not on Crankworx...
Buckets Up Added a reply to Slopestyle Riders Boycott Crankworx Rotorua Because of Low Prize Pay, Lack of Appearance Fee
3/23/2024 6:42am This is a terrible take. Both the riders AND Crankworx have acknowledged that talks have been going on for months with no progress. Sometimes you have to utilize the only leverage you have, in this case not showing up to the start line. This clearly wasn’t a hasty decision. Crankworx could have solved this more easily than the riders, why...

Weather they get what they want or not is not something that I will loose sleep over, but good on them for sticking together to prove a point.

Buckets Up Added a reply to Do pros remove their hardware post surgery? (Also, did you?)
2/1/2024 11:35am Fear of infection (my father had collarbone surgery a year before me and it also got infected) led me to decide against getting surgery/hardware. I had a single fracture, but the lateral half of the bone slid medially such that the two halves of the collarbone overlap by 1.5". Since they were in contact, the doctor said they should knit/mend...

1/17/2024 3:36pm Even more, most, if not all those injuries were at the Da Hui Backdoor Shootout, which is different than Vans Pipeline Masters, which is different than the Pipeline stop of the WSL tour, but all of which happen at the wave Pipeline/Backdoor in late Dec-Jan

1/9/2024 9:58am You could add Surly and Fairdale (dirt jumper available and AMHT coming) as well. There are also (dare I say) dozens more 'custom' or small batch individual frame builders who will make you an awesome mountain bike. A few that spring to mind: 1. BTR 2. Mone 3. WZRD
Buckets Up Added a reply to Dirt jumper fork pressure
12/20/2023 3:15pm For dirt jumping, and dirt jumping only, put the maximum allowable air pressure with slow (screwed in) rebound. If you can get away without maxing out your compression, that is okay.

With equity! Neko migh made $500k of revenue in 2 days selling his dh frame. If he sells his Enduro frame next year, he might make $5M, the sky is the limit for the most business savy US racer.. Dak is hot property at the moment but I reckon he might be more interested in finding the right equipment and structure to satisfy his performance ambition than a fat paycheck (which in my eyes makes him even more an hero of the sport).. I don't have any intel, I'm just shooting ideas... Gwin is maybe not as much the 1miilion...
