The first time I rode a Z1 and my hands weren't numb 10 minutes into the ride and it felt like my hardtail had full suspension, I fell in love with that coil bath beast.

F you elastomers. F you in the deucer!!!!

Bike of the Day (again!), March 25, 2018!

Scrub, manual to nolly wasn't bad either.

Reference the comment to the Miriam Nicole picture, complaints when its too easy, complaints when its too hard. Its Fort William, its never going to be easy. If you think about it, the more riders going downthe track the more difficult it would be for the next man, so...more

Loic doesn't care about his wheel size because he doesn't need to. That Ohlins kit looks like it's working on a different level than the Fox stuff. His bike is noticeably more calm and stable, but still super responsive when he needs it. I guess I see that as a bigger advantage...more

These Oregon Trail pioneers looking like theyre moving 2 miles an hour.... 29ers suck. #tweeners4lyfe

I still can't get over how the underlying assumption that big wheels are always faster is the case. I still stand by the idea that it depends on the track, the rider, the conditions, other attributes of the bike etc.

Gee won in Cairns in 2014 on borrowed shoes; now Rachel won in Lourdes on wrong-size spare shoes... has anybody tried hiding Dan's shoes from him to see what might happen?

HOLY CRAP!

Holy crap is right. It's like he's floating over it and the footage has been sped up.
Crazy how that big grassy right turn at 1:25 has gotten totally destroyed since Claudio's run.

Shots = fired. I'm pretty sure Pinkbike is imploding as I type this.

Part of the reason I prefer vital for race coverage is because each article title isn't a paragraph long, unlike that other website.

You guys are on point with race coverage this year, god damn. Keep it up!

Holy shit! That is one of the best looking paints jobs I have seen in years. I am not a huge Specialized guy, but dam that bike looks good.

SO sick is right.

Thought about it more, I am starting to believe the wheel size thing is less of a big deal than we think in terms of "changing the sport".

Worth noting, Brycleland had his big season mostly aboard 26" wheels (right?) when nearly every other team was on 27.5" wheels.

My point is,...more

Yeah, these pics are great, but i refresh vital 100 times a day on race weekends for the slideshow with audio!

Might have hit refresh a few dozen times in the last 2 days waiting for this slideshow.
