I don’t think the authors or commenters mentioned the downside of going to a 28 or 26T ring — it affects the antisquat / pedaling kinematics of nearly all FS bikes.

I guess I am going to be that guy but the $550 (for now) Manitou Mezzer Pro is better than my Zeb or factory 36 ever was

So the internetz agreed a while back that Flash should be abandoned, and that trend is well enough established that I rarely encounter it anymore....but on this site there are two stories that are unviewable thx to Flash. Is vital sorta like a retro site now?

Android 4.4.2 tablet. Generates the 'unsupported Flash player' error, rather than loading your mobile version There are only eleventy billion Android tablets out there so not worth you fixing this right? Wink But why use flash at all even for PC users?

Vids don't load on iPhone with current ios , nor on Android tablet with 4.2.2. Adobe doesn't officially support the flash plugin but I downloaded the one that is supposed to help with obsolete site software like vital's but it didn't fix it. Since I can load vids on pretty much all sites I'm interested in except yours I thought...

Richiebankrupt, I think the key here is to outsmart the vitalmtb default to desktop version on tablets (at least the tablets I've looked at, and maybe yours). if you scroll down to the bottom and manually select 'mobile' version of the site on your iPad, then at least the youtube and vimeo hosted vids on vitalmtb should work fine. I...

All vids on red bull.com that I've tried load fine on this tablet. As expected, since i can watch action sports videos on every site on the internetz no problem. Eg.http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_INT/Video/martin-soederstroem-ba… On Vital: Alex Organ gives flash player error. Same with Specialized Leogang, 36 Returns, Suzuki Nine nights (but utube version below main version works), making fast go faster, ....

Add'l update on android tablet: as already stated above, vital defaults to the desktop version on this slate8 pro tablet, so I manually selected the mobile version. Now The Schladming video loads and plays fine since it becomes an embedded YouTube video. But the head to head video with Atherton generates a 'device doesn't support Flash' error.

OK that URL you posted above also works on my tablet. That vid plays fine. But the vids on your main page still give that 'plug in not supported' error message on my tablet.

on my google android 4.2.2 tablet just now, I double checked just now and Yes the forum auto loads as the desktop version (i..e no 'm' in the url), and Yes there is a pulldown video menu, and yes when I clicked on your test link I got the exact same message you have in your screen shot above. and...

btw videos embedded in advertisements on your site view just fine. it's just the content videos on your "Video' pull down menu that don't load on the mobile devices I have access to.

no need to post links to the videos -- there's not a single video on your site that has ever loaded on any mobile device in my house including my girlfriends iphone and tablet (and mine, as described above). all our mobile devices run videos just fine on any site you can think of (pinkbike, comedy central, news sites etc)...
