5/5/2026 5:56am SRAM is more “innovative” by bringing new shiny things to market much faster than Shimano.

5/4/2026 7:38am I've been to Primoz' neck of the woods and would like to add that: You should absolutely go to that neck of the woods to ride if you get a chance. Primoz raced cross country for years before switching to longer travel bikes, and was fitter than me when we rode together. He's a great host and I cannot recommend Bled Cream Cake enough. However, I would not recommend eating it right before a 87 F/31 C mountain bike ride with Primoz. Primoz, I'm still right about heavier tire casings and softer compound. Fight me. Most power-based training plans emphasize...

4/26/2026 8:27am Quoting measurements to 0.01mm on an aluminium mountain bike frame; they are very very over confident in the manufacturing capability of the factory.

4/23/2026 3:01pm i've seen a bunch of kids in our area out on various forms of emotos (eg things with a throttle) note here: this is on the streets, not the trails. while i have started seeing more and more of them wearing helmets (good!) i've also seen an increasing percentage of them riding like absolute assbags with complete disregard to anything...
