This one's a bit ropey but it's fun to speculate when you've been isolating alone for 8 days.

So it’s just a lockout switch?

More like paying two very small men to sit on your fork and shock, constantly turning your lockout switches for you.

Hey Guys, another update. Austin was one of the first people I called after getting hurt. We're buddies and talk/ride together fairly regularly. I let him know what was up and wanted to confirm that he was staying in Europe for the next month like I thought he was. He's racing Maribor this weekend and isn't planning on coming back home until after the WC in Switzerland next month either way. That was good news as he's easily ready to go if I pull out. I also contacted USAC to make sure they get him everything he needs to compete...

the $6,000 gt and the $6,099 pivot are extremely comparable w/ spec. pivot doesn't offer a Yari/SX-level model and GT doesn't offer an AXS/live valve model. just comparing "high end" or "low end" doesn't mean much w/o context.

The hoops some people will jump thru to be pessimistic negative and just generally shitty. How does Ben Shapiro being on Aaron’s tv have anything to do with this and how is that a way to judge a man’s full political beliefs. I voted for Bernie sanders twice and there are some things I’d agree with Shapiro over sanders on. Why does every single tiny controversy turn into some crazy conspiracy that the “ evil greedy gwin” is the center of. When every single interview the guy has ever done points to a modest guy who praises hard work and...

I'm willing to give Gwin a few more tries, it took Peaty 15 years to win his world champs. First worlds in '94 and won it in '09. (i'm not sure if '94 was Peaty's first world champs, but thats what is listed on Roots & Rain)

Hey guys, bummer to see all the hate from a few of you but I guess that’s passionate fans in sporting. Here’s the reality. From my understanding and recent reading of the rules, There is not a rule that says you must petition. A petition just assures that you are considered. The rules basically say that USA cycling will pick, at their discretion, everyone who is not an automatic selection (national champ or top 3 in previous world champs). After that the rules just say that they will basically pick whoever is in the top 50 of the current WC...

I don't know how the power was set up but we did do a long ride. My battery, with the range extender on the SL, went dead as we were finishing up the ride. My pals on their heavyweight Levo's still had power left. I was running turbo mode on the climbs and workin hard to keep with them while they were in trail or eco mode. Either way, this Orbea looks pretty cool. I do think there is a future in the pursuit of lightness in the ebike world. I am a Colin Chapman (Lotus) "Add Lightness" believer in...

When your friends are riding full power bikes, will you be able to hang? I recently demo'd a Levo SL. The rest of my crew was on Levo Turbos. They were having to hold back on the climbs to not leave me in the dust. I liked the lightness of the SL but if all my pals were in the bigger Levo, I'd buy one of those I think. Did you guys experience anything like this when riding with people on full power emtb's?

That's an awesome story. The first time I crashed going really fast I was 14 and I was convinced I had just died.

That was the first piece of literature to ever appear on Vital. Many have tried, a few have come close, you are the first. Thank You.

Try being a small custom home builder right now. I sometimes work with clients for 8-12 months before actually starting construction on their house. I have a house I'm about to start that is over 65k more today than when I wrote the client's contract 8 months ago. And it's not just lumber, I've had 5 price increases on insulation in the last 12 months.
