Spomer, Should I create a different thread dedicated to this? Its just an idea, with no "infrastructure" (lol) but I'd love to hear about people bringing stuff back from the proverbial dead, and maybe we could all learn a thing or three. Like I said, I've never rebuilt pedals, and have tons of them.Hell, when I look around my garage, I'm sure I have a near infinite number of things I could fix! It doesn't have to be esoteric, people can also ask questions on how to fix something - even if its simple, like truing a wheel (even those...

9/24/2019 9:20am .. that is awesome... nothing like re-birthing an old bike.... I have used these springs before. https://www.pushys.com.au/crank-brothers-replacement-pedal-spring-black.html although you prob will find cheaper option in US.. when I did mine I just watched one of those super duper park tools vids.... and viola.. expert in no time.... at least crankbros. seem more forthcoming with parts as you can buy a...

9/20/2019 7:19pm That is so true, and i think many would support bike companies (and others) getting behind this concept more that having unproven science shoved down our throats by brainwashed minions who should be actually learning something constructive , NOT believing everything on the first page of google search as a FACT..... personally, this is something I have always tried to...

I voted Yes! Finally! only because the older I get the more I believe we should be more open with trail access to all forms of fun. Smart local regulations are key, but just because I believe a pedal bike is the bees knees doesn't mean I shouldn't respect hikers, equestrian, moto (okay, I ride moto too) e-bikes etc. What I really want to see is more trials. Demand is higher than ever. What we need is a plethora of trails and we could all quit our bitching and whining. BTW, I'm not sure how this will really effect thinhgs...

Get PRIVATE INTERNET ACCESS (PIA) app, you can use it on 10 devices, it will cloak your IP from another country, so you are not geoblocked from redbull coverage of worlds. NBC paid big money to drive traffic/viewership to it's site-basically for the Olympic build up (XC of course). So, we're lucky Redbull even has it, you just have to get a VPN when viewing from USA. I used PIA to watch and it was awesome, had to use it to watch the BMX world champs as well, that was also geoblocked because NBC paid big money for rights....and we...

9/2/2019 3:46am if you look at what most of the pros are using as an example..(there have been plenty of articles and things done on it).. Most trail riders , racers etc run widths that are way to wide for them to have proper control.... especially kids,,, most would be way faster and have more control on slightly cut down bars than...

9/1/2019 7:25pm Ironic how relaxed Leatt has become sponsoring many riders with gear and helmets etc, but leaving off their best protection device.. their neck brace....../ just an observation. (before all the negative comment trolls arise. , High C fractures usually are a result of axial loading on the neck, which ironically is one thing neck braces help to mitigate)...... oh and...

9/1/2019 5:32pm wow...wonder if they only found out at last minute . as it sounded like the rider before went then they said on the feed 'the next rider has been pulled from the start gate, and won't be starting'

9/1/2019 11:37am Anyone know why red bull would need to cut for their own self promoting ads (when they are a free service).. and still have the live feed running in the smaller window..... seems a bit silly... are they restricted to how much footage they can show or talk about timewise?? what a complete balls up as it isn't even their...

8/29/2019 4:52pm sort of doesnt work like that... the login would be the least of your worries .. your computer needs to handshake with their computers appearing like a bro from the right country.. which is where a vpn comes in..... the vpn sets your country and ip to match that of the computers you are talking with connecting to..... a good...
