MPH24 Added a reply to ALL THINGS ANDORRA WORLD CUP
6/30/2017 11:24am Jeff - Agree with you that is nothing wildly new. I am thinking with people going back and forth on the whole 29 thing that some of these teams just got some parts and slapped some new wheels on, while SC and Intense put a lot more thought into the overall geo and package. SC and Intense seemed to have...

6/30/2017 9:58am Slightly off topic and combining two posts, but I couldn't help thinking after the transition article, which was great BTW, that have teams like the Syndicate or Intense been exploring the whole offset piece with their forks (maybe why they seem more comfortable with the 29 than others). While Transitions seems like the first bike brand to really discuss this...

I think the takeaway from the podcast for me was bike setup and the interplay with riding style is that it's too complex to lend itself to simple if/then advice.

6/8/2017 9:28am The EWS is a good example. People on both types and whatever suits their style/preference. Spec and Yeti are good examples - SB6 and SB5.5 and Enduro and Stumpy (Keene v Graves). Are more options a good thing? I find that whatever bike I am more comfortable on the better time have on the bike (both speed and fun). Loic...

6/7/2017 3:36pm Sure, but you're very unlikely to do well if you stall on any wheel size.

6/7/2017 12:56pm Part of my wonders if the 29er is faster simply in that it allows a little bit more room for error rather than a track type. The whole a "29" must be faster on this type of track," I think is more based on the stereotypes around wheelsize than anything tangible. You still have to be super precise at the...

One of the best things about MTB racing (XC and DH) is the lack of regulations on the bikes from the UCI. The lack of regulations is what makes MTB racing what it is, and has allowed this sport to evolve with different types of bikes, suspension used in XC races, have different wheel sizes and suspension and materials raced against each other. I don't remember any XC racers whining about 650b tubulars on a hardtail racing against 29er suspension bikes. The athlete who wins had right equipment, training and luck to take the day. Its part of racing. Whether...

Part of me wonders if all this and that about the tracks and wheels is really just a manifestation of how the riders are just bored racing the same tracks year and year out. Honestly, only 1 or 2 tracks should repeat and there probably shouldn't be any years where a track is used three years in a row... FT. Bill is great, but there aren't any other great tracks that could be used in the UK? I think there would be a lot more excitement about Ft. Bill, MSA, etc. (the classics) if they were every couple years. Val...

I couldn't tell you, but I'm just glad they showed it. If there was one thing I wanted from this episode, it was a Marshy rear wheel slam. They more than delivered!!

Can we get Greg and Marshy to go over the "pick up the back wheel and throw it down suspension test?" How often is it done? What % of the time is Greg unhappy with it?

Hearing Greg saying this is the bike I should've been riding 15years ago is just how I feel seeing these beautiful big wheeled flying machines! And let's get Mr Peat on one maybe for a BDS run or a Masters UCI race there's a lot of win left in that man just give him a good weapon for the job

Yeah. The flat thing is interesting. You'd think these guys would run more on the side of not wanting to flat than push the envelop. More air? I mean I got sick of flatting my rear all the time, so I run 5 more PSI than I ideally want to. Not the best, but better than flatting and denting rims... In DH it's little easier to keep track of the rocks that can cause you a problem becuase its easier to remember the details of the track. I feel like you have more "oh shit" moments over a 9 stage...

5/4/2017 4:01pm ^^ Surprised the UCI isn't all about the commissionaire at the finish to grease an extra 20K in fees for hosting a WC

4/27/2017 10:02am If we are going to say we need different classes, then Spomer are you saying that 29ers so much faster that you can't have a fair race? I fee like the 250 v 450 argument is that a race between the two bikes is that it's simply not a fair race so you need to two classes...
