Yep - me too. Came here to see the comments about it but apparently bashing bike manufacturers for making expensive top of the range eebs is more interesting.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is where I'm at as well. I mean... it's his team. But if I were to start dating a subordinate at my job (regardless of age difference), one of us would end up having to resign... and most likely, as the person in the position of authority, it would be me. That's pretty prevalent in company policy around the US, espcially if the person is a direct report of the person in authority (which Jenna would be to Bernard). That being said, PFR is Bernard's "company," and he can do with it as he wishes. Of course, his sponsors...

The 13-14 year age difference aside, the really problematic part for me is the fact that he was/is still her boss, and that relationship began when she was a teenager. If he was her teacher or coach at school and they started dating shortly after she graduated people would be up in arms. How is this any different?

I mean it's like a concert right? I, specifically, as a drummer would wear ear plugs. So that I could safely play, and continue to play. While I personally wouldn't be caught dead in that Les Gets crowd, the atmosphere still looks dope and leads to great moments like all those seen in the Sleeper vid. I can appreciate their energy from a distance lol. Def ain't for me, but it's still for some.

Reading between the lines it seems to me like Jessie-May had the idea and approached Fox. It's a great idea for an article, and I wish I'd written it! I'm guessing she tore down her fork for an apples to apples comparison with the "bad alignment" videos floating around on the internet, and when she discovered it was out of alignment she said, "damn, this WOULD make a good story" and reached out for comment. I'm jealous! It's a good story. Someone in this forum even suggested the same thing, asking if I'd be willing to tear down my Podium...

Lol, wtf am i getting dragged into this for. But gives me a better idea of who went to the hassle to make a fake linkedin a few months ago to sh** talk me there of all places. As far as which US races get points, go to the UCI calendar on the uci website and filter down to the mtb races specific to the US (or any country you want). It'll tell you which class it is. Last couple pages of the rule book UCI MTB Regulations will tell you how many points that event is worth. earlier in...

TLDR - You're not qualifying for the world cup. Long version - Satisfy one of the conditions below 1. Top 50 UCI ranked in elite 2. Be in one of the 20 Elite teams (top 15 + 5 season long wildcards) 3. Be in one of the 8 single round wildcard teams 4. Be on the USA federation entry list (capped at 3 riders) 5. Be top 5 at one of the Continental races and get a golden ticket. 6. Be current National/Continental/World champion.

When it was brakes, I was saying "yeah, it's a copy, but there are also improvements". And not gonna lie, they work very well. Then came the cranks. And now this. At least they could have made the bearings less exposed...

Bottom of the new Lyrik

Like a ~2010 Diamondback.

Ari is by far the least cool brand right now.

Can't wait for the astro-turfing 😛

yeah but not for an Ari lol

I think Pedal Bob and sethimus need to hug it out.

You guys should take the arguing to PMs so you can effectively yell into the same echo chamber. In here, we should discuss upside down suspension stuff. You know, "Stranger things, season 4, forks and stuff"

official statement from crankworx about 1199 cancellation https://www.crankworx.com/news/official-statement-rockshox-canadian-ope… Due to unfavourable weather conditions preventing helicopter access for athlete safety, the RockShox Canadian Open Downhill Group A finals on the legendary 1199 track have been cancelled. A helicopter is a critical safety requirement for this event to ensure athlete extraction if needed. After initially moving Group A finals from Friday, August 15, to Saturday, August 16, the difficult decision was made to cancel the race. Group B finals were held earlier this week, and full results are available here: www.crankworx.com/results/ As we wrap up the 20th edition of Crankworx Whistler, the...

Bizutch just likes his downhill rracing men tall, muscular, and masculine.
