Yea, I was speaking towards the casing/sidewall prototype. But I actually raced both of them, I swapped halfway through the day. The Mudslayer(not the actual name) was also super good.

"Maxxis certainly seem to have a much higher failure rate" is that because more riders are on maxxis so it just seems like a higher failure rate (eg there are more of them out there so the discrete # of failures will inherently be higher)? or is it actually a higher defect rate?

since there have been so many racers back-to-back, the normal pit bits get kind of repetitive, plus we had lawlor's pit bits video. we've focused on privateer life w/ jack rice at snowshoe. that feature will land monday or tuesday. i have some audio about this that will go up soon too.

Never said every tree should be padded. And I live a BC rain forest so well aware about trees, Snowshoe looks like a Xmas tree farm in comparison. just saying there’s a couple obvious ones that ended some riders seasons that could have needed some love. Hauser was going down early here but anyone could have washed out on the bridge into the tree.

I'm confused, maybe I'm misreading this, but are you complaining that a mountain biker is getting paid? Remy makes great content, his videos are meticulous, and clearly he works hard at it. I feel like this is a place where we support riders.

As far as off-topic goes, c02 mounts in the team rumors thread is VERY FAR OFF TOPIC. Let me try to reel things back in: Honda to return in 2024 with a new carbon, gearbox, high pivot bike, and full factory support to one rider: #joshyfrothah. There. That's better.

… but why!!! EWS was such a close experience. You could race on the same trails and on the following day cheer for the pros. Yes coverage is difficult, but highlights a couple days later + all the vlogs is fine!

Some unsolicited internet life advice. Either do your own uni work or leave and focus on a real life job. You could also save some coin and learn use the AI software that the paper writing service likely uses. At least that way you’d learn some ‘AI input engineering’.

Why does the warranty have to be transferrable? Why not just... be? What makes the original buyer so much more holy than any other person owning the bike at a later date to deserve a full warranty when others don't deserve it? I've never heard of something like this in the electronics industry (phones, PCs, etc.), we know it's not an issue with cars, Jeff mentioned it's not a thing with snowmobiles and motorbikes and so on, what makes bikes so special?

one thing i think should be added here - how many companies guarantee availability of replacement parts for a certain amount of time after purchasing a bike? the only company i can think is Nicolai, who guarantee supply of spare parts for 10 years.

Great post. I think we can all concede the pace of improvement has vastly slowed. One great reflection of this was Jordan Williams winning on the "old" demo. Heck, I'm still riding a Specialized Enduro that is 3 (??) years old and I don't feel like the frame is at all dated or a step behind anything else out there. What I'd love to see is more focus on durability. The problem with this is it goes against much of the business model and current incentive structure. Plus, its hard to test on the "gear review" side (you need to...

There was an interesting post by @bulletbass man in our 2024 team rumors forum thread about what new bikes and what bike brands are offering lately. Short version - bikes are so good these days that gimmicks and/or tiny performance improvements aren't enough to warrant a new bike purchase. bulletbass' suggestion to get more sales is that brands should improve the mountain bike ownership experience with free service/maintenance plans or parts warranties. this idea is really intriguing, so i wanted to throw out on its own to see what you all think. bullet's original post below I think bike companies...
