Had a real dumb one today. Had some noise somewhere on the front of the bike. Kept stopping trying to find it but couldn’t feel anything wrong and couldn’t get the sound to go off the bike. Turns out the cap for the air valve on the fork was a half turn loose. Boy did I feel stupid once I...

I think the biggest unique thing about Surrons and the like is that they are near silent. This is what lets kids get away with all kinds of shenanigans. Older generations had dirt bikes but you'd hear that coming from a long way allowing quite a bit less tomfoolery in normal public places, like parks, greenbelts, trails, etc. Heck around here during Thanksgiving last year there were ongoing issues of young teens riding Surrons into a local grocery store! https://www.imfromdenver.com/trending/arvada-teens-ride-e-bikes-into-ki…

I once got backed into in a parking lot as a kid just walking. Couldn’t really blame the old lady who backed into me either cause I wasn’t paying attention at all. Had multiple friends cause car accidents skateboarding/rrollernlading as kids. Had a friend take off the bumper of a parked car being dumb trying to use it as a...

Kids will be kids. In general I find the youth of today to be generally much better behaved than kids of my generation. They are just way more socially clueless when it comes to hiding their more selfish behavior. I think social media has a lot to do with that as well. A lot harder to party as a 13...
one aspect I personally think is underrated in “compliance” is not only flex but how well or not well the product dampens vibrations and how quickly/slowly the material “unflexes”. For example I personally think aluminum does a pretty great job as a handlebar material. An equally stiff carbon bar may be possible lighter but it’s usually a lot harsher. Especially...

It would be really cool if they kept selling the current aluminum demo with a poverty spec for people that don’t want to refinance their house. For what it’s worth that bike seemed universally liked.

While I’ll never own one, I have to give credit to specialized for creating this. It’s giving me nostalgia vibes from the late 90’s/early 00’s when there was a lot of weird and wacky experimentation in DH. The fact that after 3+ years of development, this is an actual production frame (regardless of cost) is pretty cool.

For the price of the complete build i could buy a new dh bike, a new enduro bike, and still have enough left over for some life passes. I’m sure there are some racing kids of wealthy folk who can afford this. But this might be the first time specialized may struggle to find a market for the price tag.

There was a lot of damage done by adding the ebike race and cutting back on the pedal bike racing for organizational reasons. but it seems they fixed a lot of the issues with the racing with the exception of not enough new venues. However the fact so many of the well known names have dropped out is hard to...

I wouldn’t worry about e-bikes ending trail access with pretty rare exception of wilderness areas and trails that are entry points to them and hard to access trails that joeys can get themselves in trouble on but likely would never access if they had to muscle it there. For the most part it will mean more users and more volounteers...
