Pam sprayed on the downtube works for a while. I have used it a few times.

I hope they release a mechanical version of Transmission. Not on the recharge my battery boat.

What is the name of the podcast about Foes and Hill? That link brought up Neko.

Agree on the tools and the personal aspect, that is brutal. Hopefully the tools are insured also and even if so, it will take time to get the $. Hopefully the tool community is helping out and if a GFM is needed in the interim, I am in.

That is such a bummer, I really hope they can get backups. Frameworks is by far the coolest thing that has happened in mountain biking in a long time and I dont want it to lose any momentum.

Anybody know anything about the e*Thirteen Sidekick hub? Sounds like some interesting tech.

Pit Bits Video, minute 7, it is a speedsuit. Some punk rock Palmer will eventually come back, hopefully. Cant wait for the racing this weekend!

Exactly the point, "it's like standard road kit". I like what Norco and NS are doing and materials have gotten a little better since 2012. Not the end of the world, its just not a good direction IMO.

My 2 cents. I don't care how many pieces it is, if the whole get up is skin tight lets not split hairs, its a skinsuit. Nuke it and bring back the Palmer days, its not a good look or a representation of mountain biking.

I am pretty sure NF will custom tailor for a fee. They mentioned $30 for custom 6 Day pant lengths. Great company.

I am in the same boat and I got the NF (ridenf) DP4 - 1/2 Team pants in medium/long recently. They are the most comfortable pants and they actually fit me (32" waist and 6-2). They don't ride up, I cannot tell I am riding in pants vs shorts and I cannot over recommend these pants. Yes they are expensive...

Random tire question. Are the white patch Maxxis tires any different (compound, weight, etc...) from the yellow patch tires or is the white patch just a way for Maxxis to track the OEM tires?

That is one of the best looking frames I have ever seen. Neko & Frameworks are hands down the coolest thing happening in MTBing right now. More vids!

Required parts on a higher end complete bike. Today they don't come with pedals, which is a good start. In addition to no pedals I wish there was a build option to also exclude the saddle, seatpost, grips, bar and stem. If I bought a new complete bike today they would all be changed to what I like/fits me. Then...
