Stiksandstones Liked a comment about product review Tested: Fox Racing Speedframe Pro

As a former brand and product manager for a helmet brand, I had a coworker show me their new Speedframe pro a few weeks ago and what a friggin nice lid. Historically Fox lids did not fit my head perfectly, but this one fit me quite well and the attention to detail was pretty great. Nice work to the Fox crew on this helmet and congrats on the VT test score as well.

Here's a great one from back in the day when we were running 10 speed 11-36 cassettes with those tiny Zee short cage derailleurs. When you're running such a short derailleur cage, it's extra important to nail chain length when installing a new chain, because the cage is too short to pick up any extra slack. It was easy to have a loose and dangling chain in the 11 tooth cog, and easy to have too tight of a chain in the 36. So on the morning of a big ride, I replace an old chain in a hurry on...

Great question. This might be the best thread on Vital. I have so many to share, but a great one is showing up to a shuttle day with all my riding gear, a change of clothes, lunch, electrolyte drink mix, etc, but I forgot my bike. For everyone else that meant they got a designated full-time shuttle driver that day.

My best dumb wrenching move came from being too clever. I run 203mm rotors, and last summer I kept going back and forth between running a Lyrik and Zeb on the front of one of my bikes. The Zeb is 200mm native post mount so it needs just spacers for 203 rotors, and the Lyrik is 180mm native post mount. Well, I started out running an old 20mm adapter on the Lyrik with the spacers. At some point I got a 23mm post mount adapter for it so I wouldn't need to fiddle with the little spacers. I used it...

Can anyone with more info translate this news? Who is Chaos and do we think they’ll do a good job for Rocky as a brand? Vultures or not? I also assume this means Rocky headquarters will stay in the east.

One of my favourite things about this thread is the the mix of people commenting. One one hand people who seem to have behind the scenes knowledge vaguely referring to things they know to be true but can't say, and people with no idea of the actual details confidently stating things they have no direct knowledge of. This is what keeps me coming back. Keep it coming

Rossignol needs to realize they are not a premium bike company. Making it overpriced will not accomplish that neither.

What does it mean to be the drivetrain and electric drive unit components provider for UCI MTB events? Is that like neutral support for athletes? Or does that mean everyone in the E-EWS has to use a Shimano motor and parts? Or does that mean when someone like Josh Carlson does a track preview they're on a Shimano-equiped bike?
