Dammit, I didn't want to write this much but then I got typing and it all happened. Data: Take a 20lb dumbbell and hold it with one arm near your body. Move it up and down, left and right, rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. Now take that same 20lb dumbbell in that same one arm but hold it out all the way extended from your body. Move it up and down, left and right, rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. Which is easier to do? The length of the lever matters. It doesn't make things impossible but it makes things harder. The same...

Sean is going to need you to describe and define "embarrassing", he's not convinced that it exists.

Norco Sight QT - 580 Wh battery. Using new front triangle but same rear as the analogue Sight. Second result on google when I searched "TQ Norco Sight"

Well, the calendar says "2026" now, a new year is here, looks like just another year of Troy Brosnan still being one of the absolutely fastest riders in the world, business as usual...

All good, a lil friendly ribbing! And that may or may not have been the initial idea behind the project... but it went in a slightly different direction. Stoked you're stoked!

Again, I am happy to answer about the project itself.

The staff will be the "chaperone", we have other women is the crew too. Zoé is feeling safe and she is safe. No question about that.

Its micro marketing and not meant to be a global marketing campaign i would guess. Clearly doesnt move the needle as much as lets say sponsoring an athlete like vali, but will probably also just cost a fraction. I have no clue, but could be that trp doesnt sell as good in germany, hence give a guy from germany a couple of the brakes and he might help sales there. This guy is well known around here, but not only because he does youtube. I have seen him doing comunity stuff like shaping dirtjumps in free acces areas with local...

As someone who was there from the very beginning (okay EWS #2), I think the story arc of EWS/EDR is a bit more complex that people think, and that Chis Ball is not the boogie man some make him out to be. EWS was not just Chis Ball, it was a run by a board, with Chis as the most public facing member of the organization. Keep in mind that in 2013 enduro racing was seen as an exciting new sport (yes I know, it wasn't new in France and Italy) and the timing was perfect with new wheel sizes...

It's working, when was the last time you heard reports of the Germans sinking a Manitou fork?

Figured I'd share my new Levo SL since I got it built up in time for my up coming trips. Longggg back story: I rode an alloy Stumpjumper 15 the past year that weighed between 37.5-40.5 lbs depending on parts. It definitely made me stronger haha but overall I loved how hard I could ride the bike and still pedal it without blowing myself up. This fall, I kept showing up to group rides being the only one not on an e-bike. It was exhausting to keep up, and I realized I really needed an e-bike. But I love the...

I dig this question and am gonna save it for a future pod to chat about! And on that note, we aren't recording this week or next. I'm going to be traveling so unless Lars or Spomer feel extra motivated to chat we will see everyone in Feb.

Retiring from teaching in a public high school for the last 31 years. I’m very excited to ride more and spend more time with the people that I care about.
