but e13 cassettes don‘t even come close in shifting performance compared to higher end sram stuff.

There are literally hundreds of bike and component brands but probably less than 10 mainstream fullface helmet manufacturers and I bet every single person on this forum owns one of those 10. Add to that the fact that they don't get updated very often - the Bell Full 9 was released in 2012! I think it's pretty understandable that people get more excited about this than a new seat post collar that got released. Saying that I think the vital forum members are shit hot at catching new bike and component developments that are actually interesting. I doubt more than...

So we're concerned about a potential partial ownership by Specialized of PB having an influence on bike reviews, but we also think that some network news sources are clearly carrying water for only one political party while the other network news sources are objective unbiased news sources? I'm not concerned about Specialized owning part of PB (directly or indirectly), but it probably should be disclosed. I think most of us know that Specialized spends a lot of advertising dollars and some influence may come with that over the reviewers. That said, I think most reviewers try to be objective and...

...that all start at once, have to say it's apples and oranges with downhill. All too often someone that qualified outside the top 30 lays down a heater and throws the top 10 for a loop, and I would hate to see that window close.

While I got certain aspects of your point (we can all agree that people lack decency when talking on the internet), I have to disagree for the rest. For sure it's a shitty situation and having money or not does not erase the trauma caused by an assault or a theft. But we need to stop this fucking trend of asking money from the average joe because you are well known and will trigger their sensitivity. Let's be honest, if tomorrow I am mugged and my belongings are stolen, I doubt you will take me seriously if I come to...

PLEASE take this aero-discussion to another thread!!! is it really so hard to not derail this thread every 2 pages?

Can you please take your aerobatic hydrodynamic discussion over to the roadie forums?

I am not an engineer nor do I work in the bike industry. But I’d be annoyed enough to respond to a post if someone claimed my job didn’t exist.

Shout out to PHcross for the rendering. Not bad at all given what you had to work with.

I just love how no matter what INTENSE does you all have some negative comments!!! How about this? How about we wait and see what happens?? What a novel idea!! If INTENSE did nothing you we say "great, another season same bike". If INTENSE creates something new "that thing is hideous and will be shit". How about we at the very least applaud the brand for trying something new? It takes a bold person to step out with a different approach AND this is DH racing, not like DH racing sells bikes? Unless AG, Seth or DAK do really well...

Looks like this was pretty spot on! Nice work

those photoshops for the intense proto were not far off it looks like…

I've sat here, with crinkled brow, trying to figure out why you would be disheartened by someone taking a publicly shared image and painstakingly converting it into this image.

I usually watch these videos...🤷‍♀️ Don't get angry and calm your tits.

noah, this will have to work until lourdes - 12 years ago before whoops and slowmo were a thing (whoops and slowmo) https://vimeo.com/5370280

I'll dive into this pile of BS thread head first for 1 post. I get to see people die at work from covid everyday, I haven't seen one vaccinated person die in the last 2 months If you want to control covid in order prevent the most deaths you have 2 options, vax and masking or super strict lockdowns and masking. In the US, the only way to get people to vax at a much higher rate will be for health insurance companies to refuse to pay covid related treatment costs for those that choose not to be vaccinated.

Get help. It has been long since I have seen a more racist, oblivious to scientific facts, opinionated and downright dumb (hereby referring to your apalling “shot for shot” stupidity, you are the perfect example as to why guns should not be for everybody) in this site. Get help, and leave your shit at the door when you come on here.

Started typing a response but after a couple years of seeing your posts decided it wasn’t worth the time. Where’s the block feature vital? I don’t need a safe space but this site could be more enjoyable if I could select to not see what one or two people has to say.
