Snfoilhat Liked a forum topic 140 laps A/B test data -- considerations for future mtb data projects for readers and test riders

Why am I sharing this, and why might another rider want to read this? I'm a (modestly) credentialed, (modestly) working scientist with no present affiliation to the any part of the bike industry. Teaching quantitative reasoning and technical communication skills is the lion's share of what I do for work. I'm not a 'sci-comm' professional trying to drive attention toward a podcast about bikes or a bike youtuber trying to grab attention by deploying keywords like data or science. I don't have a vested interest in either bike setup being faster than the other. So let this be my attempt...

8/27/2024 9:39am Mine lasted me a total of 3 weeks riding before it cracked during a not so big crash with me getting concussed and spending a night in hospital. Replaced it with a different helmet. Was a shame thoug because it's the most comfortable helmet I ever had on my head.

12/14/2023 10:34am 2023 races were available for free in France through lequipe.fr/tv. I imagine it will be blocked out of the country, but then you can use a vpn. The races were possible to watch live or at any later time. Only negative was commentary - they have Sabrina Jonier there and she is not made for commentating... Oh and it's obviously...

11/10/2023 3:07am I have ADHD and my guess is that there are many people with ADHD doing gravity/adrenaline sports as for me a DH run is sure to make me fully concentrate easily which is otherwise hard work for me. There are varying views on ADHD and you can find both mainstream and not-so mainstream approaches to treating it. Either way I...

11/4/2023 1:42pm Loris was running Conti tires in practice at Les Gets. My hypothesis is that they are testing various tires to develop the pirelli tires which probably are inferior at the moment.

10/13/2023 1:19pm I raced Les Gets as my first World Cup this year. I did not qualify, I was 7 secs off qualifying, but still in 108th place. I'd say still behind me were some people with reasonable place, while towards the absolute back of the qualy results were those who were siginficantly slower (there were not that many of those). Also...
