I've never tried it, so speaking from ignorance, but my friends back in California (who were growers) say that the initial claims about medical cannabis were over stated, to say they least. I'm not saying it has no medical benefits, just people realized it wasn't a cure all for everything so the fad kinda faded.

Honestly looks pretty good. Sometimes 29/27 mullets look a little weird because the jump in sizing. This looks just slightly bigger. The bike looks pretty proportional.

I am just going to say this... Fuck that guy. I wouldn't buy anything from him again. He is doing some cool shit and thats why I bought from him in the first place but until he starts to fulfill orders hes a scammer and people need to stop giving him attention.

Sometimes I feel crazy, in that I dislike the assegai, but everyone seems to love it. I started with dhf's, and always liked the sharp cornering character of them. The assegai felt vague, and more like it smears itself across the top of everything instead of biting in. I much prefer the kryptotals, high roller 3, and most recently the dhx.

The “Soft” wears a lot quicker than the “Super Soft” in my experience. On the Soft - the back edge of the center/ braking knobs will start to crumble and pit after just a couple rides… while the Super Soft seems to just wear down with the knobs shrinking over times and not crumbling. I have enjoyed the 2.5 tacky on the front especially on hardpack and loose over hard compared to the Magic Mary. It has to be driven actively onto the corner knobs, but they lock in like nothing else when leaned and pushed hard. The Magic is...

I preferred the Tacky Chan in most scenarios other than really soft conditions where the MM can really dig in. I trust the TC side knobs more and the center tread is bulked up quite a bit from the standard TC.

They have nothing wrong with their bikes. Like remove the brand from the frame and Im intrigued. But you put ari on it and I just hate it. Astroturfing, diapers and basic bikes to look like theyre apart of the same boat as Canyon or Specialized, then they just have this design… they just infuriate me lol.

I also think that radial tires are the biggest innovation in MTB technology since modern geo.

Idk whats going on in this forum lately. Amaury: I'm using radials. Schwalbe: our riders are all using radials. Us: no one's using radials. My personal experience, riding them in every condition imaginable, including snow: the biggest improvement in mountain bike technology since we figured out 64 degree HTA could apply to non DH bikes.

This whole power war situation sucks. I spent years fighting for MTB trail access and I'm quite worried with the Class 1 eMTB players blatantly flaunting the spirit of the rules. For the first time, the anti-MTB crowd actually have a valid point. DJI and Specialized DGAF. None. Burn it all down.

The "multiplier effect" is an economic fallacy. "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

It’s a vertical shock alignment similar to the old Diamondback Knucklebox design (mentioned above) or a Propain. Nothing to patent. It’s just a Utah County based company thinking it needs overdo marketing as they’re prone to do. Utah is the land of perceived aesthetics.

It's like comparison of digital cameras. Lens quality? Sensor size and DR? Shutter implementation? Who cares, it has 600Mpix!
