Brilliant as always John 🇮🇪👊. I would like to add that not only does John film and edit his "Weekend" series, but he's also doing Pitbits and Raw all at the same time. Freaking legend 🙌.

Thanks! Funny you mention tubes. I’ve met a lot of riders, especially e bikers, who have just said screw it and gone back to thick tubes. A lot of road riders are also moving toward tpu tubes since they’re lighter and easier than tubeless. At events doing installs this year, the biggest issue I saw with tubeless was the rim tape. After a season or two, it loses stick and starts leaking onces the tire being removed smears the tape. You’re supposed to retape when it looks worn, but even that’s a pain. Most rim tape doesn’t stick very well...

Dude, great write up! Love the desire to make something new/better! My first intro to tire inserts was the Schawlbe dual pressure thing. It was great, but only lasted like 4 tire changes. Then procore. It worked great, but it did have a life expectancy. All for enduro racing. Colorado rocks and stuff. Carbon wheels - Rovals Now that I'm not racing (kids and life and stuff) I just run DH casing Maxxis meat. No inserts. And sometimes with tubes. It's just easier.

All this virtue signaling is BS. Feel free to pay more to help yourself feel better but don’t for a second actually believe it has any benefit other than that.

I had one of these. It was terrible 😂. Johnny T used to ride one made by Linn Kastan (Founder of Redline BMX)! Not sure if they sold the Kastan version or not.

from what I understand it was brought in by ESO to soften the change in the cut of 60 riders to 30, I understand they think the sport is more elite with just 30 finalists, and I won't be surprised to see that as the qualifying cut next year. IMO many of these riders now in that top30 have slowly progressed to get there, and them doing so provides great storylines when they do get their first podium and so on, removing 30 riders loses all of that. Here's me hoping some Saudi MTB fan gets involved and creates an...

6/12/2023 9:58am The winner of the race should leave with the most points. I think this format allows for earning the most points at an event and not having won it. On the flip side, rewarding consistency is great. I do hope the title is not decided from a P10 in the semi-final.

Super misleading title. He switched from a 9 deg backsweep to a 10 degree. That would move the ends of his bars about 6mm backwards alone. The stems were only 1mm different. Depending on his bar roll, his hands were roughly 7mm back with the second setup.

I have my doubts that they're really trying to change it into anything other than a porn website. There's so much association of "OnlyFans" with porn that it might be an unshakable reputation. Think of the skepticism you would receive while explaining to your boss that the OF pages in your browser history, or to your spouse that the OF charges on your credit card are just you watching mountain bike vlogs. You would think that if OnlyFans really wanted to appeal outside of porn, they would offer a separate platform free of the baggage. It might sound conspiracy-brained (but...

3/21/2023 8:17pm
Regarding the Transmission... not the AXS-->In the video, he explains that the shift (actual chain push) only happens at a certain point in the cassette. My comment was in response to Team Robot's questioning whether or not they will release a cable version. I suspect Mr. Robot was talking about a cable Transmission version.

So... one can use the Transmission derailleur and T-chain with (pre)existing SRAM chainrings? Trans-Eagle if you will? Or would it be Eaglemission?!?!

I think no cable version will exist unless they modify the cassette design due to the fact that it's designed to move the chain at a certain point on the rotation. If a cable version exists, one would essentially be able to shift at any point on the cassette, thus negating the intended design.... I think 🤔
