Outlawed Added a reply to Alright, body armor. What is the best chest protector? (Also taking knee pad recommendations.)

7/27/2025 9:30pm

I have and wear a TLD Rockfight CE Flex pretty regularly, it hides decently under a jersey and strikes a reasonable balance of breathability/protection. As for knee pads, the Akta Trail's are easily the best I have owned. The only complaint I could muster is they can be a bit warm but the protection is good and the comfort is...

2025 Rampage already! i've been doing cleaning and maintenance on some stored bikes lately and it struck me that i've had the McGarry Tues for 10 years now. Quite happy to read that Paul Basigotia is doing well these days, since his healthcare fund was the reason for the YT auction at the time.

When cleaning contaminated rotors I boil a pan of water and dish soap on the hob (use an old pan, or feel the wrath of your partner) and leave the rotor in there a few mins bubbling away. Got the tip from the yeti race team mechanic years ago.

Didn't PE buy majority share? Or no? And Markus was brought back in as CEO? Unless I'm missing other sources for his personal income, of course, I don't see how this dude's ENTIRE persona is double fisted red flags on fire waving around. Unless it's one of those deals where every single thing is fake/rented/staged to give off that perception. Which is STILL two red flags waving just they are not on fire this time... I feel like finding a CEO who did nothing could somehow be better than what this guy is doing to this company. How much benefit...

I'm sure I'll get hate for this, but I'm not sure a dh race is the place to bring your dog. I've had enough issues with trail dogs (I feel pretty strongly that most dogs shouldn't come along for the ride and aren't as great on the trail as their owners say they are) and not sure massive crowds full of yelling, screaming people is the place to bring your dog.

I'll just patiently wait for Fox to release a rebranded, cheaper, Marzocchi version so I can perform coil debauchery like god intended.

I have been running a Eddie Current Fr (trail/ultra soft) for a couple of months now, replacing Kryptotal Fr (enduro/soft). My go to tire has been Magic Mary (trail/ultra soft) for a while but so far in the loose over hardpack that is the summer riding here, I have been really liking it. The cornering grip feels a bit less...

I am a really big fan of MTX pads, I gave the reds a shot about a year ago. Compared to Shimano resin/metallic and TRP resin/semi metallic: -Bedded in so quickly and easily it was comical. -Never seemed to fade or falter regardless of heat/moisture -Bike sat for over 3 months during the winter, first ride out they felt like...

Correct, previous gen code caliper and were touted as a E-bike brake option. They were okay, not bad but not great either.

If I didn't have to deal with predatory exchange rates/fees, paypal fees, overseas shipping costs, customs fees, tariffs and other random fees du jour, and shitty shipping services w/ high risk of goods damage on top, I wouldn't worry about scratching the lowers much either. 🤷‍♂️ I am a fan but there's limit for what I want to waste the $$$ on.
