"If you want tight and jank go watch EWS. hahaha" If only we could...

We must stick with the long standing tradition of violating the spirit of the sport..

Apparently skinsuits were a step too far for Brendan, good for him sticking to his principles!

I just want to say for the record, being able to buy multiple top dogs in each category is so much more fun than pinkbike's league where getting one rider takes up 60% on the team budget.

I'm not talking shit about how the brakes work, I have no idea how they work and if they just copied trickstuff they probably are great. But seeing as they look like they just copied trickstuff, come straight from China, a country known for blatant IP infringement with no local enforcement, it seems kind of shitty to promote them.

Also good news: Cedric is doing the French commentary. Those of us watching the English language broadcast won't have to listen to him yell inane stuff like "HE LIKES GOING FAST!!!" Are there racers in World Cup finals that don't like going fast? Inquiring minds want to know.

ms intense pits! who needs tents and poles when you can make a glass building? (vid in our insta stories)

Imagine a company with known financial troubles invests in a world class factory team and being upset because the artwork on the huge semi truck isn’t your jam

don‘t know how much tech rumors this is, but vali höll isn‘t riding a known TLD halfshell in her latest stories on IG. maybe an upcoming model? but hasn‘t the typical TLD design cues (backfin)

I’ll get you the Chinese crap. You send me your Maximas

I think for commuters it absolutely will be. There is a long running trend in economics where products shift from sole purchase upfront to utility payments, it occurs with almost everything. You go as far back as lighting, use to buy candles or wood, now rent electricity usage. Compute for companies, you use to buy your own server, now you hire via AWS or Oracle or someone. Hell even high end clothes the rental market is rapidly growing. I think for something as ubiquitous as urban transport it's inevitable that utility payments will come to dominate. @Jason_Schroeder the podcast was...

When I was at Sea Otter last week, I asked a few brands, "What's the state of the bike industry post-COVID?" Most people's responses were broad and not super in-depth, but overall, most people are optimistic looking forward. And the brands that are feeling it the most didn't plan appropriately for the inevitable decline in demand after the COVID boom. Here is the audio from the conversations: https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/state-mtb-industry-post-covid

My quick thoughts on two of the brakes tested by Enduro. For context, I am lucky enough to own and ride a fleet of 5 bikes consistently; from DH to XC Formula Cura 4: been running these since 2019 on my Trail and XC bikes. Getting a good bleed is paramount to good performance. Sintered pads definitely add extra bite, which I prefer. They require a bleed every couple months to avoid a soft lever feel. Lever bushings get sloppy after a few hundred miles and require replacement. Fully rebuildable if you are mechanically inclined (which I am and have...

I don't know.. For some people, it's the thrill of the startup and creating something new. Once it's established and doing well, they get bored and get the itch to do something new. That is how his post reads to me... I've known a few people in the industry like that..

UCI allows ex world champions to run stripes on their collar in the discipline they won the champs in perpetuity. To indicate they are one of the champions at some point.
