justwan naride Added a comment about video Fox Racing's SpeedSuit RS - It's Not a Skin Suit
5/1/2024 8:37pm
Haha, some people seem to have very strong opinions about this! I like it, it's obviously wetsuit-inspired and I can see the advantages. For racing, every small gain can make a difference, so if an athlete feels more comfortable in this it may allow him to perform better, even if it's a placebo thing. As for the UCI rule, I think this one flies too close to the sun and will get banned.That doesn't mean the rule is reasonable, but it's there and if they intend to be fair they should enforce it.

3/27/2024 9:27pm SDG Circuit Ti is ~44mm from the bottom of the rails to the top of the padding, measured at the middle of the rail's length. Kind of a slim, racy and firm padded saddle (originally a roadie model) but the minimal profile makes the saddle disappear when the dropper is down. 5'3" rider on a small sized frame with 170mm...

3/4/2024 9:22pm You hate flat tyres, but run EXO+ with tube on the rear? As others have mentioned there's plenty of room for experimetation to increase durability. For starters, you can keep you current tyre, convert to tubeless and add an insert. Rimpact Pro is a good compromise between durability, weight and ease of installation. If you are ok with getting a...

2/18/2024 8:33pm Maxxis Assegai is one of the most well mannered and forgiving front tyres I've ever tried, including in the conditions you describe, but it's 2.5. Magic Mary equals it when the ground is damp/soft, gets a bit nervous on loose over hard. All of my mates swear by the Michelin Wild Enduro Front in Magi-X. Currently I have a Conti...

The Mach 6 just isn't the bike I wanted. I don't really like the dead feel of most longer travel bikes and wanted a bombproof slalom type build that can also climb techy trails.

I considered polished cranks, by Hope actually, but then thought it would be too much.

It’s really cool to see a bike review so focused on what riding and maintaining the bike was like, and not using the review as a vehicle to build the reviewer’s brand or launder paragraphs from the press release into seemingly original impressions. I didn’t once have to wonder ‘how could the tester know that, how could they have measured that?’ I want to be sympathetic to media workers who may be feeling pressured to write the mtb tech fan fiction that has become Outside’s (among others) core review style content, but the writing is so much better without it...

justwan naride Added a reply to Why Do High-end Integrated MTB Bar/Stem Combos Exist?
12/17/2023 8:46pm I think it was Unno that started the trend with their first line of bikes and the Gemini bar/stem combo. Then Scott came out with XC and AM versions and Trek followed. Didn't know Giant made one too. On a futuristic design bike like the current Unnos I think it looks good, but personally I wouldn't trade function for fashion...

PM see PM do is my short answer and we can probably just blame Scott and call it a day. While not purely aesthetic I do think the primary driver is how good integrated systems look from concept to final product. It’s hard to deny that the path of continued integration results in cohesive product design that has visual appeal to a wide range of potential customers. From a brand prospective this is a pro that really doesn’t impact the core user who ends up changing out all of the touch points immediately based on hard earned personal preference regardless...

Besides pro riders who get high end bikes for free from sponsors, IMO those kind of products (in this case handlebar) are made for people who have a lot of money and always buying latest and gratest just to show to others what they have. I have those kind of guys on my work (banking business) who have shit load of money and basically buying things just for fun and fuel their ego while talking to others about that, what ever that is. That's why so many bikes are reaching this crazy prices, because there is always someone who are...

No option for: I ride bikes for the non motorized experience. So I will keep pedaling. Why so much anger towards those of us that want to keep mountain biking, cycling?
