I could see a few benefits - #1 less rigid shock mount will be able to clamp the hardware better, this has been an issue for a number of brands where the frame mount is too stiff so they get chronic bushing wear/looseness problems. Making a thinner welded part could be difficult, especially maintaining alignment so these bolted parts are probably more forgiving. #2 eliminates the "bathtub" under the shock that collects water and mud.

I can't get behind the MRP. Those things folded. Referring to the E13 full polycarbonate bash guard. That combined with the shark fin make way more sense. Racers only got rid of them for weight savings right? We're adding 5lbs of lead weight now but still running exposed alloy chainrings instead of this?

Can somebody tell me why we got away from sandwich style E13 bash guides? I mean...we got real money on the line these days.

All 5 of us (my wife, myself and 3 kids who are now teenagers) all ride together at least once a week. We ride at Kanuga probably once a month together. We all ride ebikes. They allow us to all ride together and turn it into a family event. Without ebikes my family would have never stuck with or enjoyed riding. I don't care what anyone thinks of ebikes, they changed our lives forever.

I'm tired of Cathros childish schtick at this stage. He has always done great analysis but all those stupid cutaway segments just seem foolish and boring. The dude is 37 now. It's a bit pathetic but I guess he does whatever Pinkbike tells him to do He'd be great commentating on races as the current crew seem to have difficulty spotting which riders are on different lines

Yeah I would definitely prefer a more serious take on the analysis that what is currently being presented

From the pits in Lake Placid today (Pit Bits vid coming in a few hours). What looks like dimples on the stanchion of a Boxxer, I'd assume to reduce friction. Forum expert opinion thoughts?

An extra 1-2#'s of CF reinforcement on a DH bike just makes sense.

Back in 2017ish I dabbled with road tubeless. I found out pretty quickly that even with my progressive for the time 30c tires @ 80psi would not hold tubeless sealant, even on micro slices from glass shards, due to the high pressures. Even as low as 50psi was a struggle. I've seen this issue with MTB tire volumes when you exceed 35psi. I came to the conclusion that tubeless is fine for offroad pressures of 35psi or lower, but anything higher gets a tube.

If you’re not getting paid by your employer (allegedly), then that’s also a breach of contract on their side…

you’ve not lived until you’ve visited a ski area parking lot in the spring and basked in the glow of an entire seasons’ worth of frozen dog shit melting at once!

Masters Worlds...racing to lose to a former World Cup winner. Granted, it's the "experience", but every time I read the winner's I'm like "Awww...come on." 😄

I'll be 43 in 2030 - can all of us washed up dudes do Masters together?
