The asterisk is for the fact he has won 6 out of 13 races and four in a row only because of a limp dick weather conspiracy right?

It wouldn't surprise me if something like that popped up again..

There’s no such a thing, they make 1.8 and 2mm

I don’t think it’s silly if a rider wants a different character than the frame was designed with. Neko made a video testing different AR configurations and basically said its rider dependent on what they want.

Poor dog in the first race day shot, is like, fuck my life, with the chainsaw guy.

A lot of good thoughts here, but just to play devil's advocate, have we considered the possibility that he's right and we're all stupid and everyone in the bike industry has collectively been doing it wrong for 30-40 years and he alone can tell us the answer and it requires buying this expensive new product from his webstore? I mean at least consider it, is what I'm saying.

No, we haven’t been measuring sag wrong. Any method of measuring sag that is repeatable is an acceptable way to measure sag. As it is something that must be tuned as opposed to setting to a specific percentage, being able to repeatably measure sag is the most important thing. You can do this seated and measuring at the shock just fine. If someone wants to measure it with a whole bunch of kit that’s fine, but telling everyone they are wrong and do it wrong is silly. It is definitely worth noting that on more progressive bikes you shouldn’t be...

I don't understand the hate for e-bikes (pedal assist,) but I can totally get behind a ban on throttle-controlled e-motorcycles on bicycle trails. And this is coming from a motocross dude who also rides MTB. If it will go fast, spin the tire and uses a throttle, it's a motorcycle; It really doesn't matter if there are cranks and pedals attached to it if they don't have to be utilized. I'm also interested in seeing what's going to happen with these. From a legality standpoint, most of the trails around here aren't really policed by any authority, so it's like...

Can we move this to the suspension thread please

As a non MX guy I couldn't relate to Ken at all and was honestly wondering why this guy is commentating on a downhill worldcup. To approach a broader audience, if that was the intention, it would have been totally fine to have him in the pre and post coverage as a guest. But in the booth?

I found it insulting to the racers and the sport. We have a bigger star from a bigger sport than mtb so let's suck up to him and not talk about the action that happening in this minor league sport. Like having Ken Roczen there some how legitimized downhill racing. It certainly doesn't hurt to recognize that legends from other sports are into dh, but a couple of quick discussions between race runs would have sufficed.

Here's how roller wear manifests as elongation. Though it's perhaps inaccurate this elongation is colloquially referred to as 'stretch'.

What do you expect us to do? Lube our $100 chain like some sort of poor person?

I annoyingly just thought of a better meme:

So I kind of like the new format when it comes to Q1 and Q2, but I wish they kept the vestiges of protection, and if top riders qualify in Q2, they still race at the back on raceday. It really sucked to see Jackson, Amaury, and Finn have 30 only seconds of their run broadcast in Poland because they got in in Q2.
