Bring back the D2 open face! looks way better

Honestly could not think of much worse in terms of bike prep than having to charge batteries for my suspension and derailleur on my DH bike 😢

Can’t you just use a regular car tire patch?

Mickey this was awesome, and true IMO; And I realize I'm replying to a week old post and have not read the next page but your post inspired me. The amount of people who think all mechanical objects are made by magic wizards has always astounded me. A counter point would be (and I admit I am 1 whole page and 1 whole week behind on the forum) that what you've described as basic skills could really be extended to most professional tasks. I broke out my multimeter to check out what was broken on my heat pump for my...

Analog riders are the new kooky single speeders. If you think motors make riding too easy then please don’t do the math for how much mechanical advantage gears give you. There isn’t a lot of juice to squeeze from frames since we’re mainly hitting human rights issues on how good a frame can be while still being affordable. We’re still probably not paying the true price for bike when you factor in environmental and human effects of the manufacturing process. That’s where I see the biggest need for innovation. It’s amazing to me though that you unironically list electronic shifting...

I'm honestly kind of bummed about all this e-bike tech and innovation and the lack thereof with analog bikes. E-bike tech and GLP-1 tech both seem to be getting popular at the same time, and I wonder why...

I think I know the races you’re talking about… have you tried a Gravity Carolina’s race? Newer promoter out of Charlotte, I’ve done a couple and thought he did a great job. They’re racing at Rattlesnake this weekend, then Kanuga in a couple weeks.

I'm curious about enduro racing, but being in the deep southeast the only organization consistently putting on races is the corniest fucking thing around. I kinda want nothing to do with them.

Back in the Grundig/NORBA days, Mt Snow was a racer favorite. Of course back then the track went from the summit. Plenty of vertical for a WC if they ran that lift still. If I remember right, some rare bird nests at the summit for a couple weeks in the summer? And it’s national forest land, so they had to stop running that lift in the summer. Such a bummer, because Mt Snow has some great terrain from the top. The bike park there has really gone to shit over the years.

Norco’s marketing department has figured out how to reach directly into my soul.
