And – lest anybody need a reminder – the rate of conviction in sexual assault cases (if they even make it to trial...) is very low, and it's not because most of the victims are lying.

Can't remember which race, but it was on the WB broadcast for the final when Neko was the color commentary. something to the effect of "wow look at him charge that section, this guy won't take 'no' for an answer!"

It's up to men to call it out, especially in this current society where women require a high standard of evidence in order to be believed. Sure, innocent until proven guilty is good and all, but people don't require the standard of evidence like a court to know someone's unpleasant to be around. We need better standards and to hold other men accountable for shit.

I think this is a problem with communities like mtb - everyone wants to think its a chill sport but because no-one wants to rock the boat and call people out, it creates an environment for predators who know they can get away with awful behaviour.

If Team Robot had a bat signal, this would be it. After a bit of a rocky start (heh), the new thread has a higher class of tangents and derails. I like that.

Not tech rumors, but soil tech history! The difference between Oregon, WA and BC is all about ice. Kilometer+ thick ice sheets created glacial terrain features and exposed more bedrock from Washington State north. Oregon didn't get the sweet, sweet ice sheet remodeling. The maximum extent of the Puget Lobe of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet was Tenino, which is between Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon. In the Seattle area you have a lot of glacial till soils that the ice pushed around. Further north the ice scraped away soils and smoothed the bedrock, making terrain for amazing tech riding. This...

Gap between stumpjumper 15 and enduro? Between more than capable trail bike and an enduro bike? Didn't know there was a gap that needed filling.

Same here, everybody around me prefers to ride an enduro bike even when a trail bike would be faster and more fun. I ride a SB130 that's also overbuilt to piss with DH tires and LR spec stuff and have no problems flying with it to ride parks like Morzine, and never really wished for more travel apart from at the end of the day where arm pump starts to get to you. Everybody thinks I'm crazy for doing it but if you take the time to set it up properly with enough support etc it can hit anything fine...

Nah man. I need that 170mm coil sprung enduro sled with DH casing tires and inserts for my local blue trail.. I've been wondering what the next big move could be for bicycles of the mountain. Like what transition did with "SBG". These days, a 140mm bike is so good it's kind of silly to be pedaling a 170mm bike around the local, unless you're in BC or something similar. EWS is dying a slow death and that's what bred a lot of the 160-170mm category bikes (and components). It's looking like the all mountain category is absorbing the enduro...

FWIW, my Modus operandi is to point the seat towards the bars. Then it's just a question of the relative height of one vs. the other.

Brother, its probably just a simple mistake - sure its a little confusing but its not like there isn't a clear and blindingly obvious pathway for you to purchase a shock if thats what you genuinely are trying to do. It's probably not been a major problem for anyone else, and there might be something in the backend that makes it a little harder to simply turn off - I know that is normally built in to the payment/shopping platform but don't run a webstore so not sure. There are sometimes products that don't have an obvious answer for how...

Alrighty.....so, for starters the Telum is a premium product that anyone who buys it will EXPECT nothing but perfect performance, reliability and support from the manufacturer and supplier. No one is creaming it in the bike industry, especially mechanics and things are normally priced in line with global recommended retails set by the manufacturer. If they tried to mark things up too far it won't last very long for them..... There are certain brands I sell which I invest thousands in tooling, parts and springs for and know every single part inside out, so if a rider has a problem...

Oh ok sweet as, so you have an issue with them following a completely normal distribution model? Were you planning on shipping it back to canada for a service every time as well? I normally wouldn't engage here but needed to clarify - The european distributors are the ones carrying shocks, parts and tools to make sure you're looked after in a reasonable time frame and the pricing is often dictated by certain things outside of their control. If that makes them too expensive for you then thats cool - you're welcome to get something locally produced if saving money...
