Added reply in a thread The First AMA-Sanctioned E-Mountain Bike Race with Kyle Warner 3/21/2019 5:18 PM

A little context to this may help. The GNCC series a couple years ago began allowing ebikes to be ridden to pre-ride the race course to scope lines etc. Before that, riders were allowed to ride the course on bicycles, but being a GNCC moto/atv course, ... more »

'Democrats, or Republicans' was not mentioned. I hope you do see the relevance of the cost of cycling goods to a cycling site though. News that will most likely affect everyone should just be seen as that, news, not bias. Plus, this article had good arguments...more

Do you even know what you're mad about? Have you ridden one before?

Added a comment about product review How Much Fun Can the New Santa Cruz Blur XC Bike Be? Vital's First Ride 3/21/2018 8:53 AM

Shoot there is so much to say about this that Vital could probably do a whole article about it. In short, I like to control the bike, not be a passenger, and the Patrol was awesome but on our densely forested trails in North Carolina, it was such a rare occasion that it would get up to enough speed that you get to that point of being at the limit of what the bike wanted to do (AKA where it gets really exciting). I wanted quicker handling and more feedback from the trail to my body, and the Scout did just that without (IMO) giving up anything else. It's a very personal decision and I'm sure there are many people who would want the exact opposite from a bike- one that feels planted, smooth, and always in control. That's why options are good!

Could not agree more about finding the limits of a bike and how much fun that is, that’s why I recently swapped from a Patrol to a Scout and am very happy I did. Great review BT

Most definitely, the entire cleat box is reinforced and not 90 degree transitions from the sole if that makes sense. Huge improvement and night/day difference. Best part is they have the new cleat box in all their clipless shoes.

I may have missed it, but have they addressed the issue from previous models where the shoe cracks around the cleats? I have seen numerous pairs of them broken. We have a lot of steep hike-a-bike sections and thought maybe that had something to do with them breaking so often.

it was a calculated move that took years of planning.

Legends like Brian Lopes and a number of current pros like Aaron Gwin got their start racing at Big Bear, and you couldn’t blame them if they’re a bit jealous of the next generation. Nice claim! hahaha.

are you happy with your drive train, is it quiet and have you dropped your chain? I am running an XTR med cage with upper guide and lower pulley, gonna strip off the pulley to quiet the bike on the climbs but racing enduro I can't risk dropping a chain, any thoughts?

Just checked my 34- no oil over the air piston. Added 15cc and it feels like it should. Thanks for the heads up.

Running a 1x10 with a short cage clutch derailleur and I rarely ever hear my chain slap the stays.
