There is a growing scene here. While things were regressing about 12-15 years ago, the last 7+ have seen major growth. We went from zero bike parks to five (two government-funded), loads of trail centers, a few "official," but most not so official, and government-funded pump tracks. The number of riders has been increasing, yet the mountain bike race scene has been dying. But that's more of an issue with event organizers seeing gran fondos as exponentially more profitable. Riders would love to have a proper race series again, rather than just a few events a year, and this is...

My only goal in the overall is to beat Schroeder. That's it and that's all. Man vs man. Ginger vs ginger.

There you have it people, the current pricing trend is Tim's fault for designing the 10k Felt road bike back in the late 00's.

Not sure if that's less ugly than normal or if I'm just getting used to looking at ebikes.

Regardless of what any of our opinions are on the Nine One, I want to say thanks for being so involved in this thread and wanting to communicate clearly and directly. Direct and public communication between customers and the head of a suspension company is nearly unheard of, so it's appreciated! Thanks, Darren.

Long ramble, sorry. Just offering a different perspective from this because my first reading of the podcast episode was completely different. I listened to the whole podcast. I think the answer BK gave seemed accurate and I didn't hear it as complaining (and he even said in the podcast that it's going to sound like sour grapes coming from him). Did you listen to the whole podcast? What was the question Elliot asked again: "How has Hardline changed?" He described a particular way it changed: It used to be everyone being cool and helping each other and racing in an...

Looking good for anyone who forgot their DH bike and has to rip the 135mm trail bike! I know at those high speeds the 200mm of travel is still necessary but where is the bumpy stuff that looks good on slo-mo Sad

Just to give you guys a quick update - I am fully pausing on rolling out further beta testing simply because you guys helped me see there is a much better opportunity here than I maybe thought originally. I want to ship something that is really useful, and that you all really find value in, which means I need to bring in some real software engineers to tighten some of the code and make sure the product meets expectations. Plus, its very clear to me I'll need to be shipping android versions alongside iOS. Feel free to put feature &...

Hey VitalMTBers I wanted to solicit feedback from the community to see what (if anything) you'd want to see in a GPS based racing and navigation app. I've spent the last few months building pnnd, a checkpoint based race app for my dirt biking buddies. I'll be expanding these features to be a little more mountiain bike centric in the coming weeks, and am really focused on allowing users to create races, of all types, to run among friends. Races can be public, invite only, or club based, run on a particular day, a range or in perpetuity. Privacy controls...

Only alloy rim I would buy. Chromag wheels I've built for people get some of the best feedback.

Some of the best, in depth and interesting content coming from the races these days. And it doesn't even require a SuperMaxVitalPremiumPlus+ package, How's that even possible.. Thanks for bringing the unique content @Vital MTB @sspomer !

Based on where that 2mm bolt sits, it looks like they've reworked the SwingLink (26 in first diagram) to be more like the Pushrod (18 in second diagram) in the Base lever. Appears that it's adjustable as well. More/less leverage is my guess. Ultimate / Bronze Base
