4/25/2022 8:39am I always defer to this DC Rainmaker site. He has the some of the best info I have found regarding sports watches and comparing features.

4/13/2022 9:37am RS gets my vote for ease of home service/videos/step by steps and they have been completely reliable. Fox depending on the shock can require more specialized tools but no issue reliability for me.

4/8/2022 11:10am Re the big down downtubes I was wondering how long until we see ebike with a removable motor and a bolt in crank area. With a modular design you can sell one bike with an ebike kit. Especially with the low power applications.
mtbman99 Added a reply to Tire casings and poor line choice
3/4/2022 3:36pm When I switched to Stans EX3 I noticed an increase in tire pinch flats because the bead profile is a little sharper and the aluminum a bit stiffer. Need to run DD or equivalent and even a bit more pressure to keep the pinch flats away.

3/4/2022 9:04am Never said anything about VPP being slow or issues with it's performance. I'm suggesting that Intense was struggling with the implementation. It could be money, it could be their engineers, it could be Gwin. Neko left and is making a high pivot bike horst link bike and intense are developing a similar design or so it seems. Simple and easy...

3/3/2022 2:55pm Well if testing other companies bikes has brought them in another direction then maybe there where issues. I assume they would be using timed runs for testing purposes.

2/23/2022 8:42am I think I read somewhere he was trying to get some trails he rides right out of his house protected and not developed so I wonder if that didn't work out so no need for the house at the top of the hill.

2/9/2022 9:03am You mean a blatant copy of the Vintage Toyota Racing Logo....I can't say I hate it but it is not original by any stretch of the imagination.

1/27/2022 8:18am If you are buying a new wheelset and a fork I would suggest going to a boost (15/110) front wheel and fork. You will end up with a significantly better riding bike with more options. For a rear wheel some 142/12 have adapter kits to get them to run in a 9/135 rear wheel. You might have to spend a...

Trail bike, you need. Lots of pedaling I see in your future. More laps lead to progression. Progression leads to speed. Speed leads to.... racing results.

If your goal is to race/go fast get an enduro bike. The current gen is dialed to go fast. If you want to just have a good time but not necessarily push for speed get a trail bike. They are plenty rowdy to progress on and will be a lot more fun at average speeds.

1/20/2022 9:12am It has been covered. Probably part of the sale that just happened. Dump any extra contracts/dead weight to make the sale.

1/13/2022 1:34pm Yeah I can see as a pro doing the what if game to take you to the next level. If you feel stagnated or feel like a change could put you into a spot to challenge for a number one placing. Also don't forget that money talks as well if the Syndicate believe that Minnar will be top spot for...

I’d place a 10 dollar bet every dude complaining about the vanzacs poster has visited a porn site this year and watched someone actually be sexually exploited while throwing zero money down. As long as the women are being paid fairly and want to be photographed who’s business is it to call it distasteful.

12/21/2021 10:09am You also have to remember SC is no longer the SC of old. They are owned by PON which also owns several other bike companies. GT and Cannondale so how much money should one company invest in racing.....
