It looks great but $381 for a chain tensioner is crazy. It's more that the Madrone Jab

I have a few rides on the Specialized tires, Butcher Front / Eliminator rear on my 170mm bike from blown out dry to hero dirt in the backcountry (not purpose built or bike park). I also have a tacky chan + roamy in trail casing on my 130mm bike so have experience with radial. Main takeaways so far Improved grip over Conti DH (SS front, S rear) - Better braking right away was noticable, its like I added 15% braking power. It does not feel noticeably slower climbing on dirt than conti, although I haven't gone back to do a...

Another Transmission compatible solution is the Ratio Technology Mech. I've got one on long-term test for Vital with a review dropping later this year.

7/14/2026 2:12pm To give them their due, Vail don't seem to give a shit about anything to do with the guest experience, not just Crankworx. I could go full old man yelling at the clouds about all of the cost cutting, nickel and diming nonsense (WATER FOUNTAINS COST NOTHING!!!) that irks me these days.

I would agree. Vail taking over the resort didn’t help things either. They clearly didn’t give a shit about the event and made it harder and more expensive to do just about anything. I have a lot of respect for the small CWX team but they had zero pull with the Vail team. Not great conditions for a successful event.

7/13/2026 10:22am My own feeling about Crankworx is that their drive to expand with multiple events all over the world and the 'Summer Series' events at smaller resorts has diluted their brand to the point where their flagship event in Whistler is no longer special or a draw for both international and local guests like it once was. Why travel all the...

7/13/2026 10:12am If you believe the CEO of Madison, Jordan walked out on the last year of a signed contract with Madison/Saracen to link up with Specialized. You would speculate that a bigger salary, more professional setup and Specialized lawyers saying "LOL, try us" all played a part. You can read the comments from 'Dominiclangan' in this thread on the other site...

7/6/2026 12:13pm I still have a set of Kaiju's in rotation, spent years trying to find replacement boots from "real" snowboard brands that fit and feel like they do. They also bought and sold Bauer to get into then out of hockey, sponsored the Indian cricket team and produced some awesome cricket equipment, had a whole golf hardware division that they ended...
