Captain Coyote Added a comment about feature On eMTB's and Mountain Bikes
11/2/2019 10:57am
The problem is they will hurt trail access. I've seen plenty of e-bikers out on the trails that WILL hurt themselves and/or others because the barrier of MTB being hard (to get to the top at least and cover ground) is almost non-existent with an e-bike. They have no clue what they're doing out there. More hikers getting run over, more inexperienced 'e-riders' getting hurt on the way down, more EMS runs to extract injured people off the trail. MTB being difficult means that only the people that really want to do it and are willing to pay the dues...

Captain Coyote Added a comment about press release Ride Longer, Ride Stronger. The Inside Story of SPANK's Vibrocore Solution for Arm Pump

Have done Whistler for a few days straight. And many other places. Riding as well as racing in the big boy's class. And motocross, and mega-hell off-road moto stuff .... again, fancy bars won't remedy your arm pump. Good technique will. Those braking bumps are nothing but a small annoyance if you know what's up and do it right.

Correct technique is the only thing that will take care of arm pump. Sure every little bit may help .... But investing in knowing how to ride will be money better spent.

There's already a sport for that: Real enduro. Dirt bikes. Of course the above would be fun, but MTB's are gonna be kicked of many trails in a heartbeat if that becomes the new norm. Think about it.

What does it mean that when a new race format is announced, our first concern is how to catch cheaters?

Except for the part where MTB's aren't allowed on many trails in the future because of way way more bike traffic. Also, the barrier for entry will be virtually gone. Real MTB is hard...that's why a lot of people don't do it. But now a lot of people will be out there that don't care and/or are unaware about trail ediquette, running over hikers, old ladies, dogs, etc. We'll just have to go farther and farther out to ride MTB.... And we already have dirt bikes for that. Oh, and I bet those up-hill climbs and liaison sections will be...

The real question is do you throw a 29" front wheel on a 27.5" frame or a 27.5" rear wheel on a 29" frame? Both have pros and cons.

Captain Coyote Added a comment about video E-Bike Allows Cam & Tyler McCaul's Dad to Ride With Them
3/15/2019 4:56pm
Great. I get it. I'd love to ride with loved one's, too. But, instead, we do things that ALL of us can do--things that are important to them. Like just hanging out, hiking, taking a walk, going to breakfast. Not everybody needs to ride mountain bikes.........This video is not relevant to the big picture, what e-bikes will do to the sport and future trail access......Regarding the vid: sorry, dudes, go ride DH w a lift, or go ride dirtbikes with he Old Man ... Pulling on heart strings in the name of E-bikes is, frankly, irresponsible and destructive. It doesn't...

Captain Coyote Added a comment about press release First UCI World Champions for E-Mountain Bike To Be Crowned in Mont-Saint-Anne
3/8/2019 5:51am
Awesome! This will make the climbs so much more exciting! Here's an idea, UCI: no electronics in sanctioned racing. No e-shifters. No data acquisition. And definitely no F'ing E-BIKES. No radio communication with rider. (cameras, GPS, power meters, all fine; just not electronics aiding the bike)... That would be a ballsy move and level the playing field, keep costs down ... kinda like the production rule in pro motocross (which kinda works?). But, clearly, the UCI is after that $krilla, so something like that -- you know, preserve the sport by trying to ASSURE FUTURE TRAIL ACCESS!!! -- will never...

Captain Coyote Added a reply to 2019 UCI World Cup Downhill Tech
3/6/2019 1:59pm It sounds goofy now, but so have most other things MTB at their inception (including disc brakes, rear suspension, 29 " wheels...). You should be able to get around any the gyroscopic effect with bike design (angles, geo, etc.). Keep in mind motocross bikes have crazy differences in what's going on with the front vs rear wheel, and they have...

Captain Coyote Added a reply to Maxim Magazine Calls New Harley Davidson Concept E-Moto a Pedal-less Bicycle
1/17/2019 2:12pm I love riding motorcycles. But e-bikes, and whatever the F that Harley turd is . . . this is all gonna be really bad for real, NON-MOTORIZED, mountain bikes access. Maybe we, as MTB'ers, should be a little more aggressively against this e-whatever-cycle-thing trend and actively work to keep them off of non-motorized trails. . . . .More E-Bike Shaming!!!!

Considering how land access is already an issue for ebikes this definitely isn’t helpful

Lame......... If you're gonna ride an e-bike anywhere where MOTORcycles are allowed, cool, go for it (or just ride a real dirtbike?). E-bikes probably do have a place (and they are fun!)....... But, they're gonna F things up for all MTB'ers on any trails that are currently designated non-motorized, see heavy traffic from other users, etc., as well as limiting future access pretty much anywhere it is regulated (pretty much anywhere at all close to an urban setting). As MTB'ers, we shoulda self-policed this; almost all parks and rec folks don't know and don't care about the diff in e-bikes...
