Uci really did let eso kill it. And while thats kinda sad, its the world we live in and that world has a lot of space for yhevtrue...

Finally got to watch/listen to this. i gotta say that if racers want more prize money, and more control over the decisions, they are gonna have to unionize or something like that. or go to a better series, which i have to feel like any day someone is gonna put together. Even these feeder series they keep talking about, could potentially have better tv coverage (the organizers hire a bad ass film team that puts eso to shame?) or better tracks ( ixs goes to longer tracks?) this at the least is gonna be fun to watch unfold….. because many...

Are any of you paying for Strava? The net profit for Strava in 2022 was $220 million, 2023 $170 million. Do they give back to mountain bike advocates, trails societies? I don’t see them as a useful tool. Trailforks gives back to the trails in my area. I pay for that subscription, and use it for mapping when needed. not into the dick swinging contest that comes along with ‘Strava rides’. commence the hate

Man, can't believe anyone would ever want to be associated with a mountain biker. Turn it off so you can poach. Turn it on but turn off the Global Heat Map so the "man" won't stop me from destroying the places I want to go selfishly. I can't even relate to half the crap you nit wits justify in the same of your own selfishness. Narcissists. Strava is justification for all you do right or wrong and the bane of existence at the same time. My take on Strava is it turned mountain biking to shit. To find out a...

It was subtle at first, but has shown up more and more as the years go by: I’m simply happier without it. I use a stopwatch feature on my cheap watch sometimes if I really wanna gauge a segment or something, mostly tho? I check my phone right after I turn on the music and then right after I get...

It’s a good idea. they already (almost) killed the independent shops (at least for sales of bikes) and started buying their own dealers back ( spesh and trek) might as well turn the whole thing into dirt bikes: buy a ktm at a ktm shop -and the ktm shop works on the ktm really well -with ktm parts and ktm...

This is all fine and dandy, but they are riding the same length chainstays? I know not everyone needs (or likes or wants) 462mm rear centers, but also many of us are done with 430 too…..and for pivot specifically, I friggin loved my pivots but stopped even considering then once I found a 450 to fit me so well, and then to discover that rear center length was something I was tuned into with my riding

Is it really stealing if no one wants to risk their precious ride time going down the drain waiting for a x2 warranty ??? Repair???? Even the shops have to spend 800 bucks on the special tooling for the x2. while I don’t know if I want to get back ona. Vivid dh shock (had a couple, def needed rebuilds...

Gonna have to chip in here, last season Loic said (according to Finn) that he didn’t want to switch bikes till racing was wrapped. Also, LB is either an evil bikes update or Loic has tagged his new test sled, which is gonna have to be new demo….. Loic and ohlins. Loic and spesh. Loic and Finn. Loic and Red...

I’d ride it. One of the greatest things of mountain bikes is that this stuff is real, it’s really different, and we can just bolt it on and go try it. All different riders getting all kinds of weird and doing things their way for their zones. Bring on the weird forks and shocks! And trails. And people.
