Eoin Added a reply to EWS Coverage & the overall ROI for companies sponsoring enduro racers
6/8/2022 1:56am Personal and biased viewpoint here, but I'm also feeling strangely disinterested or at least disconnected from the EWS races. Mostly I think the lack of slideshow and in depth interviews leading up and during the event kinda killed that urge to be fully invested and consume every piece of media to understand the race. In that sense I think EWS...

The Pole Owners group on Facebook has turned into an ebike circle jerk with people humping their Voimas.

5/31/2022 2:56am The bike is tilted slightly left: you can see his crank between the fork and tyre, and saddle next to the forks. Rear wheel is a bit of a mistery although you can kind of see something behind his shoulder.

My scott dealer said both bikes are coming soon, both with integrated shocks, They are just finishing off ruining the suspension and adding their own "performance" bits via a special lever on the handle bar lol.

To make it clear the timing is weird from SC position, I was not implying any foul play from Vital. I guess as a long term review you guys had no embargo, were SC aware of the review publication date? Probably overthinking this to be honest. BTW SCOR's ebike uses the same battery and mounting hardware and is similarly suffering from major issues from multiple owners: they can'ts get the battery cover to close properly and the mechanism is wearing into the frame. Seem Darfon are most at fault here, which is a shame as they currently make the best...

Damn that sucks considering one of the few reasons to buy a SC is to have a sorted bike. Always considered them the expensive but reliable option. That said I'm on some emtb forums and they are not the only brand with batteries falling out or eating through the frame, sad state of affairs.

Eoin Added a reply to Low-maintenance and reliable suspension
4/12/2022 1:09am I personally recommend running a marsh guard even if you live in a dry location: it will protect your fork seals from a ton of dust and grit. I have found reliability in suspension to have gone up a ton even in the last 10 years. My 2010-2014 (mostly fox) stuff would wear out fork stanchions despite regular maintenance and...

4/7/2022 12:31am This has been my pet peeve for the last few years! Finally found an okish compromise for the rear: maxxis HR2 DH in maxxpro compound. Plenty of grip for my mostly dry trails and doesn't wear out the knobs in 3 rides.

And the age old problem of "want a light casing? Hard rubber for you. Want it soft? Heavy casing only"... Doesn't anyone want a hard wearing heavy casing rear tyre or a light casing soft rubber front??

Really appreciate how honestly and objectively Dak discusses his competitors! Such humble admiration for his peers from a guy who himself had a great result on a new bike!
