This is team rumors, not complain about boutique brands. Start a new thread.

12/19/2019 10:15am This won't help you much but... I tried it on my YT capra 29er, I was fully convinced it was going to be a game changer... Bike rode well with the 27.5 rear wheel, but when I put the 29er wheel back on I didnt notice any real change to the handling, but the rear end was clearly a lot...

Eoin Added a reply to Why are so many "MTBers" A*holes when new things happen?
11/15/2019 6:26am As i have been on both sides of the fence I think I can chime in. Like many MTBers, I like tech, I'm an engineer. I like when progress is made, i still remember my hapiness when we moved to 12 an 20/15mm axles in hubs. Despite this, I still felt that cycling was going in the wrong direction when...

Cool stuff, it is worth repeating again, the colour coding on those charts is an attack on sanity... Note that the median income is way lower than the average, this means a couple millionaires filled in the form which biased the mean. $87k household median income sounds fairly normal considering the average age of the responder was 37 and thus likely to be married. Only other interesting thing I haven't seen discussed is the 15% filled in "favourite bike park", clearly many people go to the nearest small one rather than plan expensive holidays to known brands (other than whistler)

His top gap, drop and hip look proper big even with the GoPro effect. Kinda gutted he didn't get any award, I assumed he was a shoe-in for best build crew, but he could have taken best trick on the canyon flip for my money, the landing is so short he need to get it perfect!

Eoin Added a reply to Need Info On Knee Pads!!!!
10/7/2019 4:40am I have more or less hated the last 2 pairs I bought (G-form and Specialized), so ended up going back to some older IXS pads that are quite comfortable. From my point of view the main issue is that most kneepads these days are going for over 100$ and many get shredded after a few falls. I personally feel like...

Also it is the worst time of the 3 men teams that count, so basically 2/3 are riding for fun, and one poor dude is putting it it all on the line for his country!

Eoin Added a reply to Tire Compound: What are top enduro guys running?
8/29/2019 2:41am Not exactly in the same spirit, but I have been looking for a heavy/tough tyre for bikepark runs wit harder compounds: it is really hard to find a DH or even DD/SG type tyre with any of the harder compounds. My main motivation here is "not throwing out a tyre after a month of usage", rather than speed. Especially with...
Eoin Added a reply to How many pros CAN'T manual?
8/2/2019 1:19am Depends on the discipline really, my guess is that many XC pros can't manual over a few meters, some top enduro riders have mentioned things along those lines (FBM said he can't manual, Jerome Clementz said he wanted to learn how to whip). For those Disciplines, I get how that isn't something that naturally helps their performance or is part...

Not sure about his settings, but the back to back comparison of him vs the commencal rider at 3.13 is mind blowing, the bulldog seems to hit 5x as many compressions and swerve to hit a few extra ones just in case

7/26/2019 11:56am Nope, in Warsaw right now and the sidewalks are flooded with them, many lying flat on the ground or blocking the way, riders fly by on the sidewalks... People are inconsiderate everywhere...

My commencal came with shaped grips somewhat similar to the ergon, as a purist I scoffed at them, but actually love them now and bought ergons as replacement which I also find very comfortable. Don't knock it until you try it

Remember when all people could complain about was the tracks were too bikeparky and 29ers were boring... Meanwhile we just got the best 2 RAWS of the decade
