Nahh 35mm boxxer. Happy to get into details in some suspension thread,let's leave this one at being content with seeing more Enduro adjacent frames offer that option

Full podcast episode with Rob coming in a couple of weeks!

Because he's a good dude and people like to see nice things happening to good people.

Since you guys are talking about Sam Hill, this is pretty timely - a brand new mini documentary on the man himself!

Don’t know about anybody else, but it’d be worth it to me to spend $5/round ($50), to have Lawlor’s content at every race.
