Thanks for the props fellas! Reece Wilson just told us that this track is more difficult than any track all year, even Les Gets in the mud because it’s so unpredictable. Rocks coming out all the time, and shadows look like rocks and rocks look like shadows. But the dirt is apparently absolutely mint.

Love that Forbiddens latest email pays true homage to the Crab link: "Still wondering what the f**** we’re on about with all the crab stuff? A theory exists called Carcinisation wherein all non-crab crustaceans evolve a crab-like body plan. A very clever Vital MTB user noticed how many mountain bikes brands had evolved towards the same form and linkage lay out. He declared that this new evolution of bike layouts be named the crab link. And many pages of crab jokes followed. It’s an obscure and very inside joke. But hey, now you’re in on it too." Trend setters we...

kperras Added a reply to Muc-Off Sealant - Is it possible to be so bad?
9/29/2025 9:17am Back in 2017ish I dabbled with road tubeless. I found out pretty quickly that even with my progressive for the time 30c tires @ 80psi would not hold tubeless sealant, even on micro slices from glass shards, due to the high pressures. Even as low as 50psi was a struggle. I've seen this issue with MTB tire volumes when you...

I've got 500km on my RM Instinct SL C90 now and I've been having a blast on this thing. I wasn't sure at first if adding an E bike was the right move for me, but I like having a garage full of bikes anyway. I did put about 200km on a GASGAS Enduro 3.0 before getting this bike, getting my feet wet in the Emtb world. Just did the update from Rocky as well, and I have been having such a blast on this bike, it's incredible to me. I still put more miles on my Analog bike, but...

if you wanna have some internet fun, you could discuss how Arena Group (bikemag parent media company) decided to sell off / shut down ridemonkey and the users ponied up to buy the IP and website, taking it back into private ownership.

It's not uncommon for the summit of Whiteface to be 10-15°F cooler than the base. The race course starts well under half the way up the mountain, so it shouldn't be affected too much, but it means there might be some cool shots with frost or dustings of snow at the top, and fall foliage at the bottom.

I don't know if Laurie Greenland's contract is up but I think people are assuming he might be let go as he's perceived to of been having a bad season which I'm not sure he has , or at least not as bad as the results might suggest. He had an old school podium at Leogang I think and has had a fair bit of bad luck in finals and is coming off the back of health issues . He's a world cup winner and still relatively young and has shown he has pace when everything goes right for him...

Got no figures to back this up but purely from my memory, Bruni has crashed while being: a) last to drop and b) ahead on split time more than any other racer in history. Thats more of a compliment of how often he actually gets himself into that situation (and that he is so close to the edge of whats possible), rather than a critisism. I don't think he's ever blamed the team, the bike, the components, the mechanic or anyone but himself.

The "only shifts at the ramps" thing is a myth that SRAM isn't going out of their way to correct. There is no sensing of position, torque, or anything else going on -- so it's simply not a real thing. It was just rate limited to make sure us hoons didn't blow up chains too quickly. The existence of Transmission mechanical groupsets is evidence enought that you can bang shifts as fast as you want and things are hunky dorry.
