9/24/2026 9:03am Wow. That is most madness. Major oopsies that went unnoticed and then a fly by night fix? Giving serious credit to UCI’s bad reputation. Thanks Chris at Downtime!

Outland season for us was 1996, we ran outland frames with Mongoose decals, season prior in 1995 when leigh won worlds, we rode handmade Nicolai frames with mongoose decals (And the last 2 seasons on Mongoose, were Intense M1's with mongoose decals....we basically started that whole fad of riding for a bike brand that did not make DH worthy bikes and the moment Leigh and Lopes rode Palmers intense-it was game over "we have to ride that frame")...so that being said, the outland season was insane; we headed to first world cup in panticosa Spain, I brought 2 spare front...

It has a revised butyl insert-not sure if it’s the exact same specs as the new DH-but otherwise the casing is still the 2x60 TPI version.

7/29/2026 7:34pm How far off is the HR3 DH casing? The construction feels unique for Maxxis, but I never heard this confirmed or explained.

Microspine drivers are a blight against humanity and should die in a fire along with the stupid plastic spacer they require to prevent Shimano cassettes from creaking like a haunted house. The only thing that might be worse than the microspine interface and its woefully anemic, made of cheese, lock ring might be the actual cassettes themselves which in the year of our lord 2026 still are half singe piece pinned garbage that falls apart and half stamped metal plates with spacers. Seriously, 12 speed shimano stuff is the most disappointing experience I've ever had with a drivetrain. I hate...

Talk to us about what you had to do to those cranks to make them look so gooood! Also, rumor is you can run the shock trunnion 75mm stroke but need custom lowered bottom shock mounts to get ~190mm…

I dig it. If you want the bike in any color grab a rattle can, tape, and sandpaper from your local hardware store. Paint job should be the last reason to not want a bike.

3/22/2026 8:55am The Trek Fuel MX has been a great trail bike for me. Vanilla Core simple with good numbers, part spec and respectable price. Does everything well and nothing terribly. It seems like a bike that you could be happy with anywhere.
Mint Added a reply to DT Swiss DEG DF
3/16/2026 6:48am I’ve installed the kit into a new hub. The quality and execution is what you’d expect from DT and reflect the price. The only complaint I have is that comparing it to an O-Chain with the soft elastomer stop, the DF thuds rather aggressively.

12/16/2025 2:40pm Last year they did an XC book with one of Durango’s own, Chris “Un-Believable” Blevins, on the cover. Perhaps they knew he would go on to own the 25 season. The name has changed though. https://misspentsummers.com/products/class-of-2024-xc-world-cup-season-…

11/11/2025 7:50am To be fair, I also didn’t finish the JKW video, his stuff isn’t for me. Like you I just watched until I got the information I wanted. In full disclosure I have a podium and find the ride quality amazing. The only issue I’ve had is that I now want more performance out of my rear shock.

11/10/2025 7:36pm JKW appears to be leaking due to the massive scratches he has on the stanchions. I don’t think a RSU fork could hold its oil with that much missing material.
