Falcon Added a reply to The Ultimate Spectator MTB Race Format?
8/11/2026 3:06pm You, sir, are an eloquent genius. 😁 I often respond similarly over on the MX site when people ask how we can make Supercross better by rule changes. You know, fire rings, alligator pits, oil slicks, etc... those are my suggestions.

Falcon Added a reply to Thought Experiment. You are offered free bikes, but only one per wheel size, what build do you choose per config?
8/6/2026 11:50am I absolutely love my full 29er enduro bike, so I'd definitely want one of those. A big mullet superenduro or DH bike would be ideal for bike park trips, and I could probably use a 26 or 27.5 DJ machine. Finally, I think it would be cool to have a 32/32 hardtail/fixed fork Klunker.

putting MTB grips on with beer really does sound like a punchline keep all flannel and ironic mullet haircuts away, lest ye open up a dude portal

Falcon Added a reply to Washing helmet in dishwasher?
7/21/2026 11:49am I don't do mine very often, but when I do it's just a hand-wash in the sink using laundry detergent.

Yeah I wouldn't recommend that at all. Great way to ruin it. It's bad for it to be subjected to those chemicals and that heat for that period of time. Dishwashers are harsh AF. I take mine into the shower, put it on when I have shampoo in my hair, move it around a bit, get some shampoo into the straps, then rinse it all out immediately. Sounds stupid but shampoo seems to do a better job with odors than anything else, and it's the fastest/easiest way of washing it that I've found.

7/7/2026 8:57am I like it. Full-power enduro e-bikes could easily handle most DH courses and we'd get the benefit of all riders on track at once, with passing, strategy, etc. It would be like motocross, but on bicycles, and more so than BMX is. Build a one-mile course with a climb and a downhill, start everyone from the same starting gate, and...

Sixfinity is the number of zeros in the price tag right?

Falcon Added a reply to Why do you CARE so MUCH about new bikes geo?
7/1/2026 2:45pm Great thread idea; I can't wait to see how it develops. I'm going to throw a wrench into it right away though, and say I DON'T care that much about geometry. Here are my thoughts: I come from a motocross background. For all the years I've been doing it, there has only ever been one size of MX bike, and...

6/26/2026 3:18pm I don't have big legs or a nice jawline, but I have absolutely filleted myself after looping out on hard dirt using clipon pedals and trying to manual. I wasn't getting anywhere with it, so I threw down hard on one occasion and voila! Instant loopout. Dude, that still hurts.

6/25/2026 9:23am Looking forward to seeing if you can tune the bounciness out with a lower tire pressure.

6/22/2026 3:18pm I have an Ogio-branded one that works really well. It has no collar, but the neck is tall; when zipped up, it will cover the back of my neck nicely. It's made from really thin, rip-stop material and it will fold/wad up small enough to fit in a large pocket in my shorts.

6/16/2026 12:01pm X2. Buckets, did you put shorter cranks on that thing? It looks that way, and I would imagine so.
Falcon Added a reply to Assegai no grip zone
6/16/2026 11:58am Haha! Well, I'm certainly an average guy (or below,) but I feel like I can put a little more push into the front wheel with DHFs and they'll push back. The Assegai just feels like it has a limit and that's it. To me, anyway. Keep in mind I ride on dry, hard terrain 99.9% of the time. I think...
Falcon Added a reply to Assegai no grip zone
6/15/2026 11:19am I tried an Assegai on my last bike and felt the same way; the cornering grip was a step down from the Minion DHF that I had on before that. I'm still stuck on the DHFs. I like the 3c MaxxGrip ones the best (softest compound).
Falcon Added a reply to How do you clean your shoes
6/15/2026 11:14am I spray mine out with Lysol to cut down on the odds of a microbial community rising up and declaring independence, and I'll very occasionally wipe the dust off with a wet rag and some Simple Green. I don't live where mud is usually a problem.

Falcon Added a reply to Is Leatt the only game in town for convertible helmets
6/9/2026 1:35pm FWIW, you are 100% right about harder to drink through. It's my only complaint about my TLD Stage helmet. However, I just saw this product that I think I'll check out myself: https://us.leatt.com/products/water-bottle-steadysip-convertible?srslti… https://theloamwolf.com/reviews/gear/review-leatt-steadysip-convertible… As far as hotter to pedal in, I haven't noticed any appreciable difference between the Stage and a standard bike lid. The Stage is very ventilated...

I didnt have a bike rack for my vehicle, so id take the front wheel off and toss it in the back of my SUV. Once day I had a particularly long ride and overexerted myself. Got back to my vehicle and took my front wheel off like usually do. Threw my bike and gear in the back and then sat down for a minute drinking some water and trying to cool off before I drove home. Got up and hopped in my SUV and drove away. This was also a brand new bike by the way, one of my...
