Sorry if I'm now spamming this, but anyone reading this thread should be interested to know Tony Foales book MOTORCYCLE HANDLING AND CHASSIS DESIGN: the art and science is back in print after 20 years, and in that time I don't think I've found a better reference book on the topic! Get it now so you don't need to wait decades like I have to buy a copy! I've got a physical copy of the original 80's book but the second edition added a TON of excellent information that is still highly relevant https://a.co/d/bmfsZFI

Sorry, notifications got turned off for this thread for some reason, so I didn't see it. Rolled diameter doesn't affect the chain pitch. The pitch is the roller axis to roller axis distance. If you can mount it to the old stuff (after some wear), it's the same pitch.

Friendly reminder that pro athletes are psychos. Known for competing with fractures and shit. I'm actually confused why people are so hung up on Loic on skipping podium lol. But I've never been one for professionalism or 'decorum'. In fact, in particular regarding the UCI, I think riders should avoid it as much as they please. Loic has the rest of his life to congratulate Jackson. I think both riders will be fine if it doesn't happen 'at the correct time and place according to authorities and some fans' I dunno

I would depend on the trails. There are plenty of more XC oriented places around here where climbing out of the saddle is frequent.

Best rider to never have won a world cup, hope that title doesn't stick with him for his entire career.

Jackson has just got an undeniable talent for riding mountain bikes and making it look amazing. There’s something special going on there for sure. …So why am I finding him so hard to root for this season? Genuine question. Am I the only one?

can we agree that there are two different ways that chainstay length impacts bike handling and performance? it matters how long the chainstay is from axle to bb as the rear center figure. it also matters for suspension behavior how long the axle to pivot point is. i don't know how much this matters but there does seem to be a distinction that is getting muddied by a singular term to cover both instances...

In all my bike media consuming years, the Amflow release has to be all-timer in saturation. Virtually every YouTuber I follow and don't follow had an Amflow video out today. It's kinda impressive. Do agree with Jeff Kendall-Weed, Amflow should use some of their cash to support trail advocacy, especially since so many people have their panties in a bunch over the power limits of the Avinox system and impacts on trail access.

If destroying the environment wasn't bad enough, there are documented cases of chatbots causing psychosis and delusions of grandeur. I swear off it, the chat bots just give you wrong answers all the time. It's really good for shortening menial tasks that take a lot of man hours and reorganising thoughts, but it's a bad search engine and an even worse friend.
