I think the story is, Jackson is such an unusually gifted rider, and how does the "field" react to that? When people pick the guy apart, pointing out his smaller size, talking about him being too exuberant at the finish line, to me, that sounds more like the same old story: someone comes along and upsets the order, undeniably, and the crowd isn't happy, and they try to make him an outsider. They try to find a weakness in him personally that obviously is not there in his riding. This may not be where you are coming from, but in...

It can't be good at all. The Irish sleeve was safety pinned on.

X01 Eagle is the bees knees. I ran the same chainring (gx aluminium), cassette (the old 10-50t),shifter and derailleur for 4 and a half seasons on my old bike with only a new X01 chain about every year. The derailleur is still being used on one of the bikes by a friend who bought it off of me. I ran the last chain for 2 seasons (and I started waxing the chain in the same time frame) and just recently gave it to another friend to use it some more as I only measured 0,35 % wear rate on it...

Disagree. I do less maintenance on my electronic stuff than I ever did on mechanical. The stuff that does get maintained is present in both flavors (i.e. jockey wheel bearings). The time I spend annually removing batteries to put them on chargers & replacing them is measured in single digit minutes. I'm not saying that everyone SHOULD go wireless, I'm just saying the anti-battery crowd makes wireless systems out to be some overly complex thing when in reality they're not.

I am the biggest Rampage fan. I attended my first one in person in 2003 and even helped dig Shandro’s second place line a little. I’ve been to multiple others since. I generally even think the judging has been correct every single year. I also don’t care that the lines are highly manicured now or that tricks (if done up high and off a substantial feature) score really well. Overall, I have very very few issues or bones to pick with Rampage. That said, they NEED to find a fresh brand new venue! Recycling old sites that have been used...

We should talk about chainstay length to celebrate

WTF I love Jackson even more now

^ Yeah, I just looked at the Entries list and she's not on it. Well, I'm happy for her if she's going to have a baby. Best wishes to her.

Looking forward to the 22000 dollar lunch ride spec.

Dual crown + water bottle. Sounds trivial but a huge feature for us who just ride park and don't race.

I have unofficial confirmation from a local shop that it's the new Bottle Rocket.

New Transition soon? Spotted in the Woolley Fest highlight video.

No, it does not. There are no 'sensors' measuring any sort of side loads from the chain or anything else. This is how these daft rumours about transmission come to be. You've just made a statement that isn't based on any facts at all. Did you just make up a guess at what you think it 'might' be doing or is that something you read elsewhere? Information on exactly how AXS Transmission works is freely available online from SRAM themselves.

Just a buncha butthurt Yankees in here. Finding it hard to celebrate a young Canuck on top of the game. The irony is that if Jackson were American, those same butt hurt yanks would be being obnoxiously chanting ooo-rah USA! USA! with hand guns blasting in the air

Dear Bike Brands, Employ real humans writing real words and creating real images to paint the picture of what your bikes will give to us. If you don't, we won't buy from you. Period.

You first create a bike profile, then after it's created there should be a button for "add components." I think if your pod/derailleur (plus dropper & it's pod if you have them) are already paired together, it then has you press and hold the button on the derailleur, then it grabs everything in the system (so you don't need to add all the subcomponents individually), but I can't recall exactly.
