Thanks for the scrolling format. I love the nerdery, but always give up on having to swipe through.

Question... with all of this weight being added to DH bikes... is there a market for an ISCG mounted chain guide product that has modular weights/ballast to add? Hrm... all of this has me thinking about using the in frame storage on my nomad to have a sock full of lead weight, wrapped in neoprene to slip in there for bike park days. Bonus points for being able to carry what equates to a blackjack with me to fend off bike theives.

Nope. Been like that for a bit. Most Go pro athletes can run them though.

Am I showing my age, or you showing your lack of age?

Is enduro dead? Sure felt like it the last few years. Maybe I just paid better attention to this race but this feels like a return to pre-covid EWS. Decent coverage, good racing on proper stages. Wonder if bolth Rude and Hattie are like "damn, why we leave now?"

Hey I'm back (with Rocky). I might post a bit less here as I navigate current state of the bike industry; I've got a mountain of work to get through after being away from it all for 5 months. Thanks for the well wishes.

Yes in theory - although if your pressures are closer than the normal recommended ratio theres a small chance if you top it back up seal friction would prevent it fully extending and you end up with a softer main chamber (volume is larger). I think this is generally no different to checking pressure in a single chamber fork - you don't really need to check anything unless it feels softer. If you do think its soft then deflate the top, pump up the bottom them pump up the top. As long as you note the pressure going in thats...

Here are my thoughts after 7 months on SRAM’s DB8 brake: https://www.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/hydraulic-disc-brakes/sram/db8-5… Okay brake nerds, tell me why I’m wrong.

That would be a crazy tooling/fixturing setup to machine that from a billet if that's the case. My bet is that its cast then machined to provide the necessary tolerances and surface finish. Either way I would really like to see a video of the machining in action!

@TEAMROBOT Yes, that’s exactly what Chronocult does. It is a simple web-based timing tool. You can have a friend at the start and another at the finish - each on their phone - timing the same racer. The system syncs in real time: when one starts a racer, the other can stop them, and it all updates live to the same leaderboard. - No app required - Works with QR code or link to invite another timer - Add/remove racers on the fly - Works with or without cell service (it should reconcile the data when the phones are back...

Nice to see a business pull the curtain back and lay it out in clear terms.

Okay we will keep the boarder open and let you guys buy Whistler passes but for the love of God can you bozo's stop driving slow in the left lane on the Sea to Sky. Looking at you WA plates. Keep right except to pass, say with me again but slowly this time. Keep right except to pass.

Agree. I think running a chainguide with a lower roller helps a ton, it eliminates a lot of metallic clinking noise of the chain tapping on the chainring as it bounces around.

I hope that tarrifs get presented to us consumers in the "resort fee" or "service charge" itemization fashion for as many products as possible. With that reality staring people glaringly in the face, it will show the remaining sheep that stay aggressively igornant, exactly what the choices of the executive branch are costing them. That will of course be difficult, similarly to the example being discussed above where a dtc brand may pass the tarrif through on a 1/1 basis, but a wholesale/distributorship model has a quadratic price increase as it passes through the line. Maybe if people see the...
