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.

12/1/2020 7:02am Yeah, Barel has been spotted using an EP8 equipped canyon e-bike, hopefully a mullet with similar geo to today's spectral which would put it pretty high up on the list of e-bikes to consider. That being said, you would want a decent price which Canyon (and YT/Commencal for the matter) seem to be moving away from. I guess if you...

Eoin Added a reply to Michelin tires thread!
11/12/2020 1:27am I tried out the E-wild tyres recently, great profile and grip. But I consider it too soft for a rear tyre (especially considering it is an e-bike rear specific one), I wore out the thread so fast over a month or two this summer. Punctured it despite running nukeproof foam cores and high-ish pressures.
Eoin Added a reply to Fox Defend Fire Pants vs Flexair Pro Fire Alpha Pants?
11/4/2020 1:35pm I have the flexair pant and they are my favourite riding gear I own. Somehow lighter and more comfortable than shorts. Not really that breathable, I use them in cooler conditions mostly. Only negative is the ankle is very tight and above the knee is baggy. No issues wearing thinner kneepads underneath. I downsized for mine after trying both a...

10/29/2020 1:57pm As a Shimano brake evangelist, I must admit my SRAM codes and guide REs that came on my last 2 bikes have been perfectly functional. Top tip: stay 1 number of gears less than the current maximum. I rode 10speed 11-36 cassettes until 2 years ago, now on 11speed 10-42 (removed a 12speed group that came with my bike, it...
Eoin Added a reply to Ugliest MTB kit?
10/29/2020 10:31am Haha, I came to redirect the thread but seem to have been beaten to the finish. Commencal 2020: it isn't the ugliest kit ever but the main team (daprela, Nicole...) Have these ugly purple chest with black sleeves, not feeling it. For Lousa it seems the commencal 100% team have these neon orange outfits, so bright and obnoxious... And I...
Eoin Added a reply to Are Global DH Bikes Sales Falling?
10/21/2020 12:47am Slightly off topic, but a quick note regarding a few "bike parks are too easy, think of the children" comments: Oisin O'Callaghan who just swept junior WC DH grew up at the bottom of Ireland's (possibly the world's) easiest bike park (his dad was involved in running it). It is pretty much an XC/trail bike park where 140mm is already...

The plastic piece of protection bolted/glued to the bottom of the downtube that goes from the BB up about halfway the DT. It serves to protect your frame from rocks thrown up by the front wheel. It's purpose is exactly the same as a wrap.

Thank you for clarifying exactly which part of your sentence was the insult, and throwing another one in there for good measure. I'm not particularly bothered, just a bit thrown back at how polarized and aggressive people are getting about completely inconsequential things.
