As far I know, I dont see how a new track could be built on Mont Chery. Les Gets town council has recently cancelled it after publishing results from a public survey (farmers have been pretty vocal during it).

8/13/2026 12:18am

I will preface everything I am about to say by mentioning that I work for a wheel company, and as such I have an unusual capability to replace wheels. I am very very lucky to be where I am and as such this can be taken with a grain of salt. With that being said... Inserts for alloy rims are a tough sell for me. I am not an exceptional rider, nor am I particularly heavy rider(165lbs with kit), and I have destroyed an aluminum rim despite running a heavy Cushcore insert. Somewhere on this website there is an excellent...

Mistake by YouTube auto-translation. At the end, Flo said "c'est un piste qui reste très très mono-traj' " meaning that you mainly have only one ("mono") line/trajectory and not so many alternative lines.

I love the DIWhy vibes from the last few pages 😍 I have been working a lot on the App and the Firmware for the mast month or so. I have made a lot of progress into packaging it into end to end usable, both on desktop and mobile. Major changes Live data! Now you can stream the sensor readings from a connected DAQ in more or less real time (20-30ms delay). You can set the time on the DAQ and you can edit and replace the configuration, without dealing with memory cards and text files! You can also change...

My setup is linkage driven with bearings and cheap rotational sensors ($3 each) The kinematics setup in the app then translates the angle of rotation of the sensor into shock/wheel travel. The firmware/app also support linear sensors. I have compiled extensive documentation on both the firmware architecture, hardware build and daq operation. There is another architecture document for the app which explains the telemetry and kinematics calculations.

Added a couple new notches in the idiot belt recently: My Maven brakes started getting air in the levers and fouling bleeds fairly quickly. First the front, then the rear, then the front again. WTF? Wandering bite point and general ranting ensues for a bit... Further investigation reveals that I had not tightened the hose compression nut to the lever anywhere near the proper 8nm torque. I got at lest a turn and a half on each nut with the crow foot torque wrench. Fresh bleed and haven't had an issue yet this season. Ran the loose hoses for at...

I have 4 pairs of decathlon hiking pants that cost €30 each. They are lighter than a fox flexair, have 4 zippered pockets and are extremely stretchy. I can have a phone in one pocket, snacks in another, car keys in another and still have a spare pocket. I do bug rides all year long and haven't worn a backpack in years (tools on bike). Decathlon now do a decent MTB pant that is a racier fit, but with only 2 pockets so I prefer the hiking one most rides. I bring this up every occasion I can: TLD oversenders...

+1 for Decathlon hiking pants. Good Q/P. Good for hiking, mtbing, even for working on field (hydrogeology - anyone from a National Geol Survey here? 😇).

Just a Concussion Hayden Wright and Jaimi Parr Far too often, the phrase “ just a concussion ” is used to downplay the severity of head injuries sustained in crashes. A knock to the head is frequently considered minor—especially when compared to broken bones or torn ligaments. But the reality is far more complex. In early 2025 long-time contributor Hayden Wright experienced a crash, resulting in a concussion that brought with it symptoms which persisted for months. Though invisible to others, the effects were deeply debilitating, with impacts noticed through every part of day-to-day life. In search of answers and...

Here's a rough idea. I'm sure there are some details missing, and despite my best efforts, this rabbit hole has some twists. So you have Mark Hancock, co-founder of PACS Group, owner of 323 skilled nursing facilities in 17 states. Current net worth estimated at $2.4 billion. PACS went public on the NYSE in 2024 at $21/share, currently at ~$36.50, and Hancock reportedly still holds 35%. The chart, since IPO had some wild moments, but seems to be back on track. Obviously, a very successful entrepreneur at this stage. In April of 2024, Hancock's own PV3 Investments (later PV3 Enterprises)...

A bit of (very) good news for enduro racing. It seems that one of the series that was a pillar in the creation of the EWS is coming back. Something tells me this could end up having a big impact on our sport. https://www.instagram.com/superenduromtb/
