Dude: maybe that's just not practical? Every video I've seen from Dyfi shows a fuck-ton of shale. Which is great for rain. Maydena looked like all clay. During the early practice, the upper, tree-covered surfaces stayed dry, but by the time Troy came down, even much of that was slippy. After a short period of rain, the berms and jumps at the bottom were already slippery and clogging-up tires. Then there was several hours of rain. How exactly are you going to fix that? Gravel under every single surface? Even if you did that, it takes hours / a day...

I wonder (and I'm just thinking out loud) if there is a chance that two wildly different places in the world might have different soil conditions that are affected by weather differently?

A water bottle *is* a range extender. And it gives you more range than any battery 😜

I hate to be even mentioning the subject again but could all the people making snide comments about a certain relationship stop and think about how the younger party feels about having her private life as a topic of conversation? Most of the people frowning on the relationship probably waffle on about mental health constantly while being oblivious to the effect their own comments have on people. I'm all for free speech but these professionals are entertaining us and putting their lives on the line for peanuts and some readers of these Mtb sites are talking trash about riders private...

Definitely trying to get a slice of that "i need a full power full suspension bike path basher but can't be trusted to brake or shift on my own" pie. Would look sweet on the new Rail.

Considering he's world champ you'd think he'd be on the muc off team, but then again someone said Dan atherton could win a World Cup this year so any thing is possible

It's nice having a boss whose preferred answer is "Go for it. Give it a try and see how it works."

Bought a Countershox/countersycle unit. I haven't ridden it yet so I can't comment on the ride quality, but I have already taken it apart. It appears to have a Brass(?) mass inside which is super tight in the outer tube. I guess this is some sort of friction damping, as the springs are really soft. The marks on the Brass are from when I took it out of the housing. No oil or lubricant inside the unit apart from grease on the springs. Will put it back together and take it for a ride.
