New here but not new elsewhere necessarily. The reviews from Vital are just so good compared to other review sites. I think it builds trust and I will be back to read/watch more when it comes time to purchase again. Ebike/non-ebike aside, the quality and depth of product review on this site is fantastic- thumbs up from me.

I would bet $100 that GG is working on an e-bike. I would guess it will be pretty rad, too! They make solid products, and their in-house manufacturing will likely lend to refinements that some of the big players haven't gotten right. I'm all in for both e-bikes and bikes. Different flavors of the same rad entertainment.

I went from getting flats or killing rims once a month to no flats and the same wheels for almost three years. Downhill tires and Cushcore are worth the weight to me. I run a Cushcore XC in my front tire and I run the big guy in the back. Priceless. I got used to the increased weight pretty quickly, and I love being able to run over whatever I like without worrying about flats. I've stopped even bringing air or tire levers on some of my smoother local rides. I agree with a lot of the commentary about the...

I get the fear of tire weight. But you either need to be slower on the climbs/flats or ride slower on the downs. Or have the skills/decision making to protect your equipment. There just isn’t getting around it if you aren’t flatting due to a specific piece of bad equipment. I ride dh tires in my hardtail and dd on my spire. Cushcore xc upfront and pro in rear. I ride 30 plus psi in the rear on the hardtail If I’m going anywhere With a lot of rocks. At my budget with my riding style/skill there is no reason...

Baby jesus sure does look after his followers.

Pretty relevant considering his celebrity in the MTB world. That said, appears you cared enough to comment.

I would contend Southern California is the galactic HQ of motobro big truck culture.

I'd sign up for VitalTMZ if we get a vanzacs tour every season

yep reverse the color order and you have the PB Team logo....

You mean a blatant copy of the Vintage Toyota Racing Logo....I can't say I hate it but it is not original by any stretch of the imagination.

JCL get your facts right first before posting. Vaccines reduce transmission, greatly reduce mortality, and Omicron is way way more deadly than the Flu. Fear based? Not fear for me. Trying to keep the elderly and immunocompromised safe and oh and it would be nice if I could get into the hospital if I happened to break my arm you know while mountain biking.

WTF?

It would be nice if there were some mods on this site…to silence the insane

John Campbell isn't a medical doctor. Even if he were, I'd still say he's full of turd. It's a shame how nutjobs have sucked Kyle into the vortex and are using his legitimate story as fuel for their disinformation and conspiracy campaigns.

This thread is a perfect example of a very vocal minority (god I hope he's a minority) can completely shut down any rational discourse on a subject.

I don't have to call an 800 number I can text my 100+ colleagues and personal friends. Just leave buddy, just leave.

I was planning to leave you alone but this is a complete lie, you did not speak to anyone in Ukraine. I work with Ukrainians daily and their attitude is one of defiance, if Russia is going to come just let them do it and let them see the shit storm they are in for. My professional staff and their families are ready to drop everything and join the military. Meanwhile, there is literally no panic or fear, everything in Kyiv is completely normal right now other than meetings about preparations for what may happen. How the hell did we...
