6/1/2024 2:43pm The Sinyard Norco thing was a joke. The Norco North Shore shop posted a photo of Sinyard visiting the shop. Kinda odd that Sinyard would be out visiting local shops here on the Shore, but who knows.

6/1/2024 10:29am Roskopp joins Special Ed. Who had that on their bike industry apocalypse bingo card? Other strange news, Sinyard was spotted at the local Norco factory store here on the Shore. Specialized to buy Norco?

5/26/2024 2:55pm When Pidcock decides to race MTB it's like an NHL pro shows up to Sunday beer league to embarrass all the washed up been.

5/22/2024 12:25pm Ohlins calls theirs DFV, dual flow valve, and use it in their automotive shocks. It's a second set of lightly damped shims that are enabled once the free bleed on the LSC needle start to choke up and before the main HSC compression stack is active. I would think this method allows them to run a needle in the LSC...

5/21/2024 5:09pm Kinda shocked at the number of comments on PB blaming the UCI. If a pro athlete can't stay on top of their wearabouts filing for drug testing they must be hiding something. Like okay they fail twice in a year and then get their crap together, but to fail three times knowing the consequences is crazy.

5/20/2024 11:35am Charlie Murray doesn't seem to have any issues going fast on a Lyrik. I think there are lots of people out there on Zeb's and 38's that are on the placebo training thinking they need the extra beef.

5/13/2024 1:22pm Geometron wasn't happy about people finding a spot to squeeze a bottle in up front of the shock so they stick a brace in there. Any list of what has changed on this one?

5/11/2024 9:44pm How many racers finish something like the Erzberg Hard Enduro? Lots complained that Crankzilla was too hard but those that were trained for it did just fine.

5/10/2024 12:26pm Marin did a raw and black Rift Zone B-17 in 2018 that.was a great looking bike. They would do well to bring that colour back. Looking back for the image of the bike I saw that Nailid suspension thing, Marin should have never gone down that path and just done a Horst version of their Rift Zones, they would have...

5/10/2024 8:04am Listening to the podcast with Page and Foes and Brent mentioned maybe needing to make a suspension piece himself. With Sam being a big SRAM guy you know it won't be a fork or shock. That reminded me of the FFR proto that was I think the last DH bike Goes made. https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/The-Hub,2/Foes-FFR-Dual-Damper-Seen-at-… It had a second shock to control...

5/9/2024 4:25pm Why is there no option about notifying the race commissioner in your poll? Assuming it's a small regional race? Contact the race officials with you info, let them confront the racer.
