Any news on that?

Watch the Sleeper.co video of the guys riding the track after the race on their e-bikes (last year, I think?). https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9ffwSXsQq6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link… Still looks like a rowdy track, especially if they get as much moisture as it sounds like they're supposed to get. Tues (1mm), Wed (7mm), Thurs (44mm), Fri (18mm), Sat (5mm). Obviously the forecast can change (especially in the mountains), but it's looking like it's going to be greasy at the very least. On another note, I've been in Morzine since the 16th and only have a few days left, but it's been cool to see the WC stuff...

Perhaps my sarcasm detector is not calibrated properly but this smells like cold-pressed extra virgin snake oil: - The half circle is smaller in area, reducing air resistance. This is the variation the IFR team uses, because in elite racing, every millisecond counts. That said, Rev grips have a bulge at the ends that actually helps with the grip of the pinkie and that makes my hands sit a little in-board, which I believe helped prevent injuries during my numerous tree strikes.

believe he was running something like this from LoamLab. https://www.loamlab.bike/products/counterpunch?variant=34531605741734

I've been riding the forekaster /rekon combo for almost the whole summer on my Epic Evo. It's a pretty fun combo on hardpack trails but it gets squirrely in the wet. I'm pretty keen on trying the new dissector with an Exo+ forekaster in the back, that would be a nice combo for wetter days like we get in the fall and lots of leaves (without going full assegai/minion style of heavier tires). Any word on 2.5 Aspens releasing soon? I've been riding the aspen in the rear also and it's really fun in the dry and hardpack. I've tried...

I've ridden all of the tires you mention extensively and most of the combinations. I'd rule out the Rekon/DHR II combo as I think they are a little too far apart to make a good combo. I'd probably go Forekaster/Forekaster or Forekaster/new Dissector - I'm keen to try that setup soon. Rekons can be super fun in dry/predictable conditions, but the Forekaster feels like it only gives up a little rolling speed for a good bit more grip. Good luck!

I wouldn’t read into it much. Pivot/bernard have plenty of opportunity in plenty of spaces. Masters Walker Masters podium was one of the truly great enduro moments. Race winner. Fan favorite. Not many of those guys left in enduro.

Relevant graph is relevant. Something something diminishing returns.

Back in mech life daze I learned after the 10-100th time the first spot to check for creaks was the chainring bolts. The number of times I had practically torn down a complete bike for naught due to one or more of those buggers being a tad loose was pretty embarrassing. Plus side, later when one of the other mechs was in the process of doing the same I got to be the smug hero who would tighten the damn things and solve their half hour + struggle. That bit of learning drives me to this day, often pulling the...

That’s exactly what I’ve been running on my 130/140 Stumpy and it’s been awesome.
