Agreed, he is an announcer. His job is to speak clearly so everyone listening understands what he is saying. Claudio has a pretty thick accent and English is not his first language but we could understand him. I don't know Ric, I bet he's a nice guy. However, he wasn't very good at announcing. AG came in with zero experience and did a better job of preparing (researching the athletes, asking them questions about the track, their season, their health, etc.) and a much better job speaking. Aaron was easy to understand and much more informative, all without stepping on...

I think he got better towards the end of the year. Cedric was the worst of the commenting IMO. Ric did a really good job a few years ago doing the EWS highlight videos. Seems like he is the guy in the booth moving forward so hopefully he keeps improving.

Hosted by Ric McLaughin.....for me that's reason enough not to listen to it, based off the terrible commentary we've had to endure during the world cups in 2023 Next...

Think that might just be VHS Slapper Tape, which can be put on any bike, so it doesn't really narrow it down

I hope you do realise the difference between Fox, the clothing company, and Fox, the suspension company. Mx

God, the Bluetooth speaker Chads are something else. Can't decide if I hate them more than Ebbers poaching trail or NIMBYs sabotaging trail. All of them are selfish twats ruining a nice ride.

I full well know that it is a far better ROI to sponsor “influencers” over actual racers, and I know the industry has been and will continue to throw more money that way, but I’m still allowed to hate it. I get so bummed seeing sponsorship dollars flung at Instagram riders making average, run of the mill, background noise content for 10k plus people, than going to someone pouring their heart and soul into hours of training, riding, and generally busting their ass in search of chasing the dream and putting up results that at best, a few thousand will...

High five for “Joins ways” on that article title. That made me laugh.

Who are you referring to here? Too hard to follow when you don’t quote the last post.

Porn is a destructive thing, and while that’s traditionally been perceived as a traditional Christian view, the truth seems to be emerging in pop culture that it really does warp people’s perceptions of relationships and can cause serious psychological harm and addictions. Not to mention the exploitative nature of the content itself. It can really destroy relationships as well. No wife or girlfriend I’ve ever had was okay with me watching the stuff, and I seriously doubt many are actually ok with it, many probably tolerate it. Pragmatically—exploring porn on the internet is a good way to get yourself into...

I have my doubts that they're really trying to change it into anything other than a porn website. There's so much association of "OnlyFans" with porn that it might be an unshakable reputation. Think of the skepticism you would receive while explaining to your boss that the OF pages in your browser history, or to your spouse that the OF charges on your credit card are just you watching mountain bike vlogs. You would think that if OnlyFans really wanted to appeal outside of porn, they would offer a separate platform free of the baggage. It might sound conspiracy-brained (but...

they are usually in the shop waiting for warranty parts.

Word. I get it’s “super steel” but at this rate you’d have to burn through TEN Race Face rings. I get I’m a cheap bugger though.

Race face has a steel chainring for $20 ya'll. I have one on my trail bike and its held shape with pretty much no wear for a couple years.

Chainring price: 189,95 € | $207.17 USD Spider price: from 119, 95 € to 139,95 € | $130.82 to $152.64 USD So hold up. For more than twice the price of that Ti chainring 5dev just came out with you can have a heavier steel one? I was kinda interested just for my non E-mtb before i saw the price lol. This thing would have to last like 10 years of frequent riding to be remotely worth the price
