@sspomer remember those times you jokingly complained that no one comments on the site? Careful what you wish for
On topic: that downtube bottle nook is cool.

I know that Downcountry and short travel slack bikes are all the rage these days but let me add my point of view. I've ridden a few of these bikes and they are indeed a lot of fun and feeling light and spirited on climbs is great. I just ran into problems when pointing them downhill. They give you all the confidence and if you forget that you actually don't have that much travel nor proper burly components, the bike gets hammered really fast. Just a few boosts off of small trailside lips with landing cased into gnar and you...

How is "unbeatable on a pump track or slalom track" not a highlight

1/14/2021 12:52am Also why pay for 3 riders when 2 riders will have just as much success not racing the soon to be cancelled 2021 season? Syndicate always 2steps ahead of the competition.

Agree with the stickman, but you need to take into consideration his "80-90%" use of an ebike, which is not far from my current usage. I will add I got much better at sustained high rpm pedalling though, which is something I was bad at before. Regarding swapping to and from evokes and regular bikes, it isn't that much of a big deal, I have very similar geometry and tyres across my bikes (yt Capra 29, commencal meta power mullet). Main issue is going back to the Capra, the very first bunny hop of the ride often looks like an...

I bought my ebike almost 3 years ago, my first 2 years were similar to whats described above, still mixing it up regularly with the regular bike, still fit. Problem eventually you start ridding with guys who only e-bike, and/or (usually correlated) you buy a second battery, and little by little the regular bike seems like you get so little done. This was all compounded by the lock-down of course, where every hour outside became limited (in my country) ...

After spending some serious time on the DH34 bike park as a rear and a DH34 Race (yellow and blue tire) up front, I can provide a more in depth review. The DH34 provide more braking traction than any tire I've ridden but the DH34 race was the hardest tire I have ever tried to install by far! I can usually change a tire in 10-15 minutes and this tire took an hour!!! Very very stiff sidewalls mixed with a wire bead and low profile with a tire insert made this incredibly tough! I really like the DH34 front and...

1/4/2021 1:50am I feel like there are only a handful of athletes out there that have reached the levels of respect/admiration as Sam Hill. If it is about wanting to spend more time at home, I would love it if some brand reached out to him to ride a partial season rather than a full retirement, e.g. plan out the season to...
Eoin Added a reply to Will lighter riders benefit from an RS Zeb or Fox 38?
12/16/2020 7:35am I was going to get a Zeb, but they are out of stock in the model I wanted, so just went with the same Lyrik I have on my second bike. Don't have hands on time unfortunately with the thicker forks, but a 160mm (29er) Lyrik is plenty stiff in my eyes. I agree that rider weight is probably a...

12/16/2020 7:26am I remember Tahnee got a fair amount of press out of the whole "follow my dream" marketing, and hitting/crashing the biggest gaps in Champery as a pre-teen. I think it is a similar combo of potential and good marketing skills on her behalf that is pushing Vali way up in value. As a reminder for Daprela: not only did he...

12/10/2020 5:26am Well, it obviously isn't the same when an industry insider isn't creating doodles and posting all over the internet to fuel the rumor mill. We also bashed away people contributing "X brand liked Y rider's instagram story so he is definitely going there" posts.

12/8/2020 3:07am https://www.canyon.com/en-hu/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/stoic/ Crazy good value on the entry level one. If they released a 26 inch version of the xxs/xs for kids at 800e it would be a no brainer.
Eoin Added a reply to Ideal WC season?
12/7/2020 1:55am I remember liking the Cairns RAW footage quite a bit, the race a bit less I guess because the pedaling section was too big a factor. Not sure I understand these lists which don't mention Champery and Schladming. Unpopular opinion: Fort Bill isn't that good to watch live, the RAWs are great, but most of the live feed is the...

12/2/2020 2:33am Depends where you live I guess, my experience with the only 2 inline shocks that came stock on my bikes in 2012 and 2016 resulted in completed failure of the shock during enduro racing in the alps. Replaced with piggy back versions and never an issue with those. Wouldn't go near one again.
