Went to La Thuile and MSA last year. Both were ticketed for just around the finish line and of course you’ll need to a ticket if you want to take the gondola but you could just walk up and watch trackside. For MSA it was tix below the finish line, from the finish line up was free.

2/24/2026 8:54pm 100% serious: What do you have and do you want to sell them for cheap since you have no intention of trying to use them? I have some Code R brakes with bent levers that I'm tolerating but soon I'll need a bleed and a new set of rotors and a new set of pads. I'm either going to need...

2/24/2026 10:56am I think their Mach 4 XC bike has a Sid Ultimate spec. That seems to be a pretty common thing, offering Rockshox stuff on an XC bike even if most of your line is specced with Fox. I've seen it from a few companies (the one that sticks out in my mind is Yeti - though they offered a Rockshox-specced...

2/23/2026 1:05pm That's exactly why I made a slightly-above-my-comfortable-price-point (even though I they gave me a good deal on it) bike purchase on Nov 1st, 2024. I knew the economic policies of both POTUS candidates and had a very clear understanding of where each policy was going. AND I knew what I was seeing as I was looking out into the electorate...

2/23/2026 12:04pm We'll eventually just get to aerodynamics and I'd bet better electronic suspension. And doping. I KIND OF think 32" wheels is going to usher in a wave of even faster-rolling tires. The larger contact patch will give us more grip so the tread will get even smaller. Why do I think that? Just vibes. I think XC racing and Gravel...

Rock shox enters the chat. All you need is an adaptor (it's cheap) and a shock pump. They say it's perfectly fine to pump it up with ambient air. Fox is complicating things needlessly. But their products are rife with complications and proprietary tooling that changes every generation. About 50 to 100 euros worth of tooling will cover at least 2 generations of RS products service procedures. The Vivid is a bit special, but the super deluxe series and the forks are a joy to work on. You don't need special clamps as parts have flats machined into them so...

Someone just posted in the RAAW thread on PB. I'm guessing this is just going to be a US issue due to a certain level of... uncertainty... these days? They got this email last night. " Hi xxxxx, First of all, we would like to thank you for your order and we're happy you've chosen to ride a RAAW in the future. Unfortunately, we need to inform you about a short-notice change in the shipping process that affects your DHL shipment, which has already been dispatched. DHL has recently changed its customs clearance procedure for shipments to the USA. However...

2/23/2026 8:58am We don't. That's why I'm saying it's not all one answer. The BMX bike was simply a comparative analog that comes from my experience. I'm not doing tailwhips on my trailbike but I can also feel that same ease-of-maneuverability when jumping a hip or nosing into a steep corner. I'm not doing no-footed cancans on my trailbike but I can...

“happy” 😩 I honestly thought he got a flat near the start of the last split, you could hear him make some groan noise on the live feed. Apparently that was just his turbos spooling up

2/22/2026 11:29pm Dammit, I didn't want to write this much but then I got typing and it all happened. Data: Take a 20lb dumbbell and hold it with one arm near your body. Move it up and down, left and right, rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. Now take that same 20lb dumbbell in that same one arm but hold it out all the...

DontWorryImAPilot Added a reply to Vital’s Bikes: Unaffiliated Podcast - Community Conversation
2/21/2026 2:38pm I thought "Bikes Unaffiliated" was a really good name. It immediately and directly says to the listener that they can trust you and that you "don't have anything to sell." 100% adding to credibility. If that's an important part of "the brand" then it's worth considering keeping some of that. Or maybe there's an effort to eventually become "affiliated" and...

Good ideas thanks. That Devinci checks a lot of boxes, not a company I think about much but it looks great.

2/20/2026 1:35pm Similar perspective to some of the others but coming at it from a different angle: I live in a pretty flat area. I'm 5'7" and I have a mullet hardtail because I was concerned about tire-to-ass clearance. I come from bmx where my favorite thing was flowing around skateparks, doing gaps, and tweaking simple tricks. The mtb trails near me...
