I don't worry about tracking hours and do lowers twice a year. I do them in the fall and then again in the spring. I change damper fluid annually to every 18 months. That's all based on roughly 100-150 miles / month of riding.

Apologies for the pedantry but you should use a micrometer, not a caliper as many worn rotors have a bit of lip above the brake track and caliper arms will rest on that giving an inaccurate reading. You can also use a dental tool called a Boley Gauge which are often cheaper than micrometers

Personally I find Dakotah a heck of a lot easier to relate to than someone like Jackson. Just a hard working dude from a similar part of the same country as me, also with questionable hair styles, that has overcome some adversity and doesn't mind getting his hands dirty at home. Nothing against Jackson, but his story is so far out of my realm that its just... not very interesting.

Dak said on the new pod that he was gonna troll us with a bike in the background that Frida will be riding this year. So Frida will be on AG's setup this year it looks like. Not surprising considering they're friends and she spent a lot of time in the pits with them last season. It will be cool to see what she can do with some more support. She's been on the cusp a lot over the last few years and with less stress of logistics (although maybe a lot of PHD stress still) she might be able...

The podcast plays a big oart in It, at least for me (I'm a spaniard). You get a look behind the scenes and to "live" the WC thru his eyes, so there is a familiarity that others don't have, add to that he is a cool cat , normal dude and you get why he's loved around these parts. In a sense he is a Vital Rider.

His contributions to the B-Practice podcast are probably a big reason that Vital favors him (Just like people here love Jesse M. because he actually posts in the forum periodically). It makes them feel like they're "one of your own." Shocking... do good PR things that expand your audience and let people get to know you... and you increase your fan base and marketability. I think people really appreciate his perspective, combined with Tanner and Jason, on the races and racing in general. It's one of the more interesting podcasts to me. On top of that, his journey over the...

TC is better for hardpack since it's larger lugs don't squirm and the side knobs don't fold in cornering. My perfect tire would be MM with the side knobs from the TC. I can deal with a little squirm from the center tread, but the side knobs folding has bitten me a couple of times when I ran the MM too long into the summer hardpack.

My experience mirrors yours that the Argotal in 2.6 on a 35 internal rim is an absolutely horrible tire for cornering grip on hardpack. The knobs fold over so soon that it makes you unable to corner aggressively when your trails are rock and hardpack. On soft surfaces, the Argotal is really good. My experience with the Kryptotal and Assegai is that they're both worse than DHF/DHR on rock/hardpack, but the Assegai is passable while the Kryptotal still folds the shoulder lugs too easily.

Very sad news, but so great that she can take a year out. So many top woman of recent years have come and gone. Loana Lecomte. Jenny Risveds comeback. It's so tough at the top of the woman's XC. Top level racing it racing so will anything change, I fear not, but let's hope for best.

I wonder if the B practice pod another piece of evidence? Tanner Stephens has connection with Scott? And now Dak??
