id rather not derail the dumb bike problems thread.... or the tech rumors threads.... or another ebike release announcement.... I know that I care when new bikes id like to ride and potentially buy don't have geo that would work for me. im not saying just long stays, or a certain reach. I can see the use case scenario differences and consider a bike for "play" or "jib" or "plow" or "all mountain in the rockies" vs. "enduro race" or even "Washington forests in October specifically" But after seeing comments on new bike releases for decades now, it seems like...

1 day ago Yep, for me notable is that I am 6 foot with seemingly very average proportions BUT... My right elbow is bolted together and effectively can not fully straighten and is quite uncomfortable if it is forced to attempt to straighten repeatedly (aka, ragging a long reach bike down a mountain). So while my effective reach (literally, physically) may be a...

1 day ago I got smoked. There truly is something to be said about picking... Basically overall season points holders and not just picking hot qualifiers. It's tough because conventional wisdom says pick whoever is going fast on the track. But if it's an unusual name, that shi just doesn't matter come finals day. The experienced riders almost always step up to the...

1 day ago So... In terms of triple headers, this has got to be the best venue on the UCI MTB circuit right? The downhill track is sick, the XC track nearly looked like an enduro track I saw dudes gapping rock gardens on 120/120 bikes... And the enduro looked gnarlier than the DH including a night stage (on maybe the hardest section)...

Hello, I'd like to count my eggs before they hatch... Are there any prizes for the overall fantasy league, or is it just on a round by round basis?

7/5/2026 8:54am The very rare case that a thread I wanted to create (more or less) was posted mere days ago... But yeah. My struggle has been the reach numbers in congruence with the top tube number, when a seat tube angle pushes past 76. Mostly because I prefer 'size medium reach' but ultimately while riding saddled I prefer a 'size large...

7/4/2026 5:48pm Same with moto. How old are the Lawrences, Prado, and Deegan. Seems this specific generation is on another level. I wonder if this trend continues or it's just coincidental as of now.

7/4/2026 12:41pm Yep, I think most of us bit into the Angel onion... The money was just too good! I also went with Tyler Waite over Jordan and that was a big muck up. Jus waitin for those numbers cuz this has gotta be my worst. Unless everybody else binned it just as hard as me but probably not because I reckon...

Picking the podium contenders has worked well for me, until Jonty got a flat this weekend. I slept on Jordan (was considering him but really thought Jackson would be back in form this weekend). Angel didn't match his quali performance but he was so cheap that wasn't a huge loss.

7/4/2026 7:06am Baumann may have saved my abysmal fantasy. Otherwise this may be my worst round, damn near picked every last place rider, including a DNF. I am a blight upon this field. A curse upon these lands. I need to learn how to just pick the Valis and Alethas and just be done with it. The last thing these mid pack...

7/3/2026 10:07am This fantasy gonna be a bloodbath. Lotta unusual names up around the top. Total crap shoot. I mean that in the best way possible. Went for a solid spin this morning, came back to clips of absolute savagery and mayhem all over social media. Riders flying through the air, sans bike lol

aw i thought it was gonna be a full on levo evo vs levo R. i guess the same sentiment will still stand. as i, indeed, don't see the point of the levo R.
