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.

Or this is the best trolling since Melameds coffee machine

Gemini Pro thinks the text says Dak will be on Frameworks Racing: Intro What's going on everybody welcome back to another episode of B Practice Podcast that's proudly sponsored by Maxxis Tires, Burgtec, and Jenson USA. I'm Jason Schroeder, joined as always by my good friends Tanner Stephens and Dakotah Norton. I want to give an extra big thanks to Maxxis, Burgtec, and Jenson for supporting B Practice this year and allowing us to keep making shows around the World Cup downhill with a big shoutout to all our listeners for the continued support. Today we are here to talk...

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

I don’t think there have been many solid clues until now. But there was never any doubt that this crew would come through once there was decent material to work with.

This is the kind of sleuthing the thread has been lacking for a while.

God I love you nerds...

Huge favor, but can you all screenshot and hard post instagram stuff instead of linking. Especially if it’s an instagram story? Some of us don’t have any Instagram and can’t view the links. Plus if it’s a story, it’ll be gone in 24hrs even if you can view it. Cheers mates!

HR3 would be ideal for what you’ve described. I still love the MM, but the side knob flex can be sketchy if you’ve got any amount of firmer dirt mixed in with loose over hardpack. The stability of the HR3 side knobs is its biggest strength. I’d stick with the TC in summer though as it def rolls faster and is better on majority hardpack.

I mean that they require more finger power to deliver the same stopping power. To compare it to other brakes, the Advocate has by far the shortest free stroke I have tested, and also the overall stiffest feel to the system (meaning that there is hardly any movement of the lever when you squeeze it past the bite point, the hoses are super stiff and will not allow for any kind of lever sponginess). They have good initial bite and are easy to modulate. When you really need get braking heavily, I would put their power above the Code RSC...

It’s already started happening a bit but I think we’re going to see a big growth in “2 in 1” bikes like the new Orbea DH/Enduro bike. Bike companies can cut down on SKUs and tooling costs while marketing the hell out of the “multiple bikes in one” angle.

And then they can make UDH3, which is the same as UDH1 but uses a slightly different thread pitch for no reason.

Worked on multiple AEs ( which are the only one I rate being so cheap ) and LHT/LHP I believe the quality is a joke for the price, lever anodization disappearing within months, bolts just falling out, masters leaking, master from new full of black particles stopping the fluid, half a caliper discoloring, don’t hold bleed, I’ve seen so much in just like 5 sets alone that is honestly impressive to see people burning real cash for these When you change pads they NEVER align and need the hole to be bigger, what’s the point to use V4 shape if...
