krisrayner Added a reply to What is the stiffest casing, what is the most pinch resistant tire?
3/5/2024 8:45am 250lbs and on a short travel bike here. Currently running WTB Tough casing Trail Boss rear with Cush core 30psi, Vigilante front. No flats and good mid turn support. I’ve torn up plenty of Maxxis tires and don’t think I’ll go back. Also ran Schwalbe Eddy Currents on my ebike with zero problems.

2/19/2024 11:20am More importantly, why can't we buy those water bottles?

In light of the ongoing economic uncertainty and declining purchasing power, what about "the bike you already have" as Bike of the Year. I'll be honest, I don't think anything incredibly revolutionary was released this year. The Arrival 170 is cool (but really its just the 152 anyway) and I'm a big supporting of WAO ethos of Canadian made frames. Some cool niche steel products are popping up, and alloy, but these aren't mass market. A lot of established models got incrementally better, but nothing major happened.

krisrayner Added a reply to Have you ever invested in your riding abilities?
12/5/2022 10:15pm I was fortunate enough to have an ex-pro DH guy in my area who was doing training and took a couple lessons from him. I also did a one-on-one session at Northstar. The biggest take-a-way I had is that you think you doing it right until someone can see you, explain what your doing wrong, and immediately feel the difference...

Lol, I wondered how long it would take...But in all seriousness I have a lot respect for engineers and the guys at SRAM, theres a local office in my town. But my personal experience has me going back to Shimano or Magura, just personal preference. The Avid/SRAM brakes that gave me the best reliability were old BB7's. Juicy's with horrible feel and reliability, Guides with their lever issues, my old Codes were finicky, my friends Levels with inconsistent bite...to each their own.

Good thing SRAM is doing their Level best to Guide us and de-Code the secrets of braking. That’s some Juicy info to gobble up.

krisrayner Added a reply to The best “what could have been” race runs in WC DH history.
1/17/2022 8:51am Nowhere near as dramatic as some of these, but I can’t help but think of Connor Fearon at Leogang. Had the ride of his life and ends up losing out to Gwin with no chain. That’s gotta sting
krisrayner Added a reply to Can we get battery-less electronic components on bikes?
1/16/2022 8:31pm How about a generator/dynamo built into the crank/bottom bracket? Less draw than a high idler bike. Would probably still need a small battery or capacitors to keep some reserve power but no plug in charging required.

Think it’s safe to say this racing move is already getting a lot more interest and feedback than if it read “Bike Company XYZ Welcomes Neko”. It would be nice to Isaak make it to more overseas WC’s as well. One off handmade bikes For The Win and by FTW

Or you could try to understand how something like that could happen by accident. 99% of the between the tape is legit. End of a stage, redlined, muddy goggles? It’s possible it was on purpose, but if your purposely going to cheat your looking for places to do so without a line of participants with waiting phones to capture it.

Genuinely curious, what’s an appropriate time to say anything about who won? Your original post was about 12hrs after I found out who won watching the replay. If I watch the news 12 hours after a football or baseball game I’d expect to see spoilers going to a news site.

Hey Guys, another update. Austin was one of the first people I called after getting hurt. We're buddies and talk/ride together fairly regularly. I let him know what was up and wanted to confirm that he was staying in Europe for the next month like I thought he was. He's racing Maribor this weekend and isn't planning on coming back home until after the WC in Switzerland next month either way. That was good news as he's easily ready to go if I pull out. I also contacted USAC to make sure they get him everything he needs to compete...
