Best part of the track is always thr racers: we’re gonna be fine!

Judging by some comments here and certainly on the pink site, it seems there's a serious issue with average Joe MTBers being able to judge the gradient, difficulty and length of a track from watching GoPro footage. This Korean track looks like it's gonna be awkward, tech, blown out and quite steep + off camber. Probably not fun to ride, but it will make for a challenging race.

maybe this is more of a question for the suspension functionality thread... but the idea of drilling dimples in the fork stanchions is really odd to me. I would think that a radial brushed pattern in the fork stanchion would be the better solution. I've honestly always found it a bit odd that we rely on a highly polished/anodized fork stanchion (and damper shafts for that matter) instead of a micro finish of cross hatching and then finer polishing (sanding) to reach the appropriate surface finish so it carries oil. I always assumed that there was a vanity/aesthetic reason that...

yep, never ending issues I've had with their forks and the Fox place here is trash that had bad attitude people working there(arrogant) I believe they've been bought by anther group and moved so hopefully its much better I've had maybe 1 good fork from OEM bikes, even the 2 new 36's i bought in the last 5 years So thats a strike rate of about 1/15(yes had lots of bikes)

I had a phone call with the CEO and there were no other options on the table than that to leave. Worst part was that then following that they folded the team but I guess if I had of kept racing they wouldn't have. Anyways I think it happens more often than you think I know personally of some other riders who went through the same thing unfortunately.

In a scenario where 32" wheels turn out to be a clear competitive advantage for racing and become dominant in XCO, the UCI will have no choice but to ban them for race use, or relegate them to their own separate class. Smaller riders don't have access to the full range of advantages of the larger wheelsize and 32" wheels would therefore facilitate a disproportionate and unfair advantage for larger riders.

Nobby nic ultrasoft coming?
