7/3/2025 6:30am Oh god, the amount of Ibis Mojos with Xfusion suspension in the wild in 2013-2016 was wild. The amount of people with carbon bikes and non functional forks I saw was a sight to behold.

7/1/2025 2:45pm Richie did ride it at the Squamish enduro for what is worth. https://www.rootsandrain.com/photos/15407325/rider/13629 My guess is that more people than we think were running 180mm options this weekend, which means no podium.

Yup! A huge amount of the x2 problems were the fault of the frame, they just had the unfortunate luck of being species on a ton of bad trunnion bikes. Same things happened to the 1st gen dB inline (specialized....) and 2019 DVO (giant) maybe those products weren't perfect but they got a huge amount of bad press because of the bikes they came in. Maybe I'm in the minority of suspension guys but I go out of my way to not trash too.many products publicly, and I also don't have 1 brand I think is the best and everyone...

LOL I definitely have nothing to protect 😅 and I see new, or close to new forks every week, if not daily. I still do a quick tear down on every fork I sell or if a customer buys a new bike, but that's mostly just a once over so I can guarantee its at 100% of what it should be. It's just much easier/cheaper than waiting to find out somethings not right down the line. I do often see forks in a really bad state because someone wiped too much grease out though!

6/28/2025 6:52pm The X2? You mean the shock that every bike company and their mother spec’ed on their misaligned trunion mount bike that had about as much frame alignment as a couple of soggy noodles. Not saying I didn’t have issues with that shock (I blew up three of them) but as it turns out the bike I had it on ate...

Rulesman Hambini Diaz [I’ve redacted my comment about Dale Stone because I’ve seen two of his videos and that’s not enough to draw an informed conclusion] These are all content creators who seemingly never have anything nice to say about the big companies. According to them, everything’s terrible all the time and they’re the only ones calling it out, the voice crying out in the wilderness. I agree that the big companies do things that suck and that drive me crazy, but if you can’t ever say anything nice about the bigs, even when they notch a win? I have...

6/27/2025 11:15am Like I really don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I'm also hesitant of any content from anyone trying to sell a product/service that has massive jump cuts like this. I think there should be a level of skepticism around all claims being made right now about the new fork. Though for some reason, I just really trust @TEAMROBOT...

6/17/2025 8:08am This is a crap take. Sorry dude, but it just is. Yes, people from out of town are usually not involved in the cleanup and trail rehab, and it does kinda suck. However, gatekeeping public trails is just dumb. We are too small of a community and user group to throw stones at each other. We should be encouraging people...

Affect. Something affects something else and the result is the effect (of it). Effectively.

5/5/2025 9:06am Same issue as HG with the scoring. I've had multiple XTR cassettes fail as well.
DServy Added a reply to Drivetrain Talk
5/5/2025 6:03am I'm sure some folks will break out their pitchforks, but I'll go on record and say that I much prefer my T-Type GX drivetrain to any of the last generation Shimano/Sram drivetrains. I found the 12s XT/XTR hyperglide offerings to be made of cheese, with constantly failing clutches, terrible cassettes that would either creak or just have their rivets fail...
DServy Added a reply to Case Study: Jekyll DH Data Logging Setup
4/21/2025 10:14am So one thing to note about HP bikes (from Steve at Vorsprung when I chatted with him) is that the nature of HP bikes with their reward axle path means that axle velocities tend to be slower. I know a lot of people with HP bikes run fairly light compression tunes because of it (though, ironically, the Telum runs a...
DServy Added a reply to Whistler Bike Park Seasons Passes not being sold to Yanks
4/18/2025 6:48am They are still selling SGC camps for what its worth, which I'd assume they'd nuke as well if this was a policy decision. I am highly doubtful a company like Vail would lose out on making some money because they are worried about the border. The only season pass refunds I've ever seen offered are ones due to medical conditions...

4/15/2025 6:39am As someone who has been on this thread a while I'll say: Leave the banter I feel like this thread does a good job of balancing Tech rumors and general Tech discussion that may seem off topic, of which Crab link is our proudest moment. The banter around the tech is just as important as the tech. If you just...

4/13/2025 6:58am First off, I just want to personally say that I loved your podcast you did with Remy was awesome. Your perspective and optimism around the future of Enduro was heartening to hear. I hope that it does go back to "cool bikes in cool places" and that you continue to have a long career racing your bike as fast as...

4/10/2025 10:58am I'd just run the @CascadeComponents chainguard for forbidden bikes on it. I have one on my Dread v2 and use it instead of a lower roller. It's awesome (also allows me to take out a couple links in the chain) For the people at Forbidden who read this blog. I love you guys. Your bikes are awesome and I can't...
