Added a comment about product review BIKE TEST: 180mm-travel Pole Stamina 9/26/2019 8:13 AM

I’ve been testing some sticker kits lately too, but I know Leo has spent years perfecting his methodology for doing just this. Everyone sit back and be patient, when his sticker kit testing is complete we can have total faith that Pole will again lead the charge in this regard.

My Deity 35mm bar and stem is noticeably more comfortable and compliant than the 31.8 stuff it replaced

Started racing moto enduro when I was 14...yep, dirt bike tires are a chore, done plenty on the tailgate of the truck in the parking lot. But mtn bike tires aren't motorcycle tires and I still don't see what dirt bikes have to do with anything. Cushcore is probably easier than...more

Gwin broke a crank in a similar fashion a year or two ago at the Bootleg Canyon winter series.

That would be my guess too. A Rhythm with different lowers?

oh? I wonder how much that nice TREK ebike ran him? I guess he paid for that too? Cam's selling bikes and roped the whole fam into it. Mountain bikers are counter culture so slapping a trek logo would look bad... I don't need to buy a damn ebike to go with my mom or my...more

All the McCaul seem like genuinely cool people. It’s awesome they’ve done so well in the industry. Congrats guys.

Problem with e bikes is they are like one of the apocalypse horsemen for mountain biking here in the states. I’ve ridden e bikes, I honestly think they...more

Great. I get it. I'd love to ride with loved one's, too. But, instead, we do things that ALL of us can do--things that are important to them. Like just hanging out, hiking, taking a walk, going to breakfast. Not everybody needs to ride mountain bikes.........This video...more

I want that vent valve technology on the standard Reverb. Too bad i just ordered a new 170 mm version :/

I wouldn’t write off the Kenda tires so quickly. The Polygon team has been racing on them without issue for two seasons, winning one World Cup and coming pretty close to double rainbows in Cairns.

Maybe, but it’s not a M29. Unless that’s a 220mm rotor.

While I understand the engineering behind it I struggle with it. It strikes me as a solution to an invented problem. If linkage driven suspension really is worlds better why aren’t linkage forks being run on works motocross bikes or moto-trials bikes etc. I...more

People are saying it’s over damped but is it or are they just feeling the geometry of it? It sounds like it needs a rearward bump input to move. So in the video when he hits the log the fork absorbs the bump but then rebounds before the wheel hits the ground....more

It would be worth $50 to someone to get a reaction from a handful of strangers on an obscure Internet forum? I’d rather just buy a new tire...

FFS, Instagram is out. It's just a stupid Facebook suburb, filled to the brim with showoffs and pseudo motivational phrases. Plus who the heck wants to watch videos in that crappy resolution anymore?

Easy, I NEED a 100 degree seat tube angle. Anything less is UNRIDEABLE (...or maybe I just struggle climbing so badly that I’ll blame anything.)
