You guys came up with Scarfcophagus? Not "Sarcophagus" but a sarcophagus full of things you'd scarf? It was ALMOST too stupid for me to type out. No one would have brought THAT to a meeting!

thank you. I hope in the future (especially for any future e-bike update) you remain open minded to modular dropouts as a means to adjust hub spec, chainstay length etc. Quick thought on this comment "feel a tangible difference between a Boost & a Superboost rear wheel." This is a clarification for Vital MTB readers and not meant as a disagreement: Strength by definition is not something you can "feel" when riding. In theory you can feel compliance/ stiffness (which are the inverse of each other) on a wheel. However, in practice many believe that perceptible compliance on a modern...

Scarfcophagus? Tool Tomb? The Morgue?

"or fell outside respectable social norms..." Would love to see that whiteboard.

Brett Tippie is Bill Brasky. you can't change my mind.

Tippie was in NWA quite a bit over the last couple of years as part of YT events. Everything said on that writeup is true. He's unflagging in his positivity and stoke. He includes everyone and interact with everyone from the kookiest kid to the most seasoned pro. He's almost uncomfortably positive and full of stoke at times, but a brand really couldn't ask for a better ambassador. I hope he lands somewhere. Dude is a legend, and his story of climbing out of the dark depths of addiction is inspirational.

Hot take: we need less elites in finals (for men). I'd vote for 20 Elite Men, 15 (and eventually 20) Elite Women in Finals. Maybe not right this moment, but eventually. The current package is already a long watch, and they still don't capture entire runs of every rider. I think there is lot of potential with less racers to hone in on elevating each racers notoriety; potential to adjust the schedule to minimize track degradation and allow for safer speed increases throughout a weekend; and hopefully more money paid across the entire field. These changes feel very dependent on...

Never say never, there are always exceptions...

Maybe you could pay for it in two separate installments

Might need to break out the debit card...

That's a cracking good deal!

Yes, this reminds me of looking at adds in the back of mountain bike action in 1999 beside a picture of a discount GT lobo. *takes back pills

Oh come on What are you doing swapping wheels every other day? I call bullshit to all this superboost hate I agree 148 for everyone would be the best thing But if you’ve got a superboost bike with a nice set of wheels I really don’t see the point in wanting to swap stuff around constantly Get legos to do that Almost 5 years into owning a superboost bike and I’ve never had once an issue with it Once I sent a wheel for warranty and just borrowed a DH one for the weekend, 0 issues there too
