+1 to everyone recommending $4 or less cheap ass photo-chromatic knockoffs from sketchy sites. I buy 2 pairs (latest were some POC knockoffs from Ali Express @ $1.92 each), pretend like they're $200 glasses and treat them nice, have the same experience as buying $200 glasses because most of the time they're literally the same thing, and get to spend my $198 savings on things that can't be knocked off on Ali/Temu

I aired it up to 190 and back in business!

Rumors flying on Reddit that Knolly is no more, or at least bankruptcy upcoming. If true… sad day that Reddit beats Vital to a big rumor. https://www.reddit.com/r/mountainbiking/s/X7ho0Uxg8t

The bike industry as a whole could have sold more than they did in 2020 and most likely throughout the whole 2021. However, the supply chains simply were not able to cope with the demand. And I completely understand that, for some companies (those that essentially everyone needed parts from) it was impossible to give exact lead times. Their systerm could not scale for that demand and that's why you suddenly heard about lead times of 700-800 days. In reality it could have been 300 or 1000. Simply because no one could accurately scale it up just like that, because...

Same thing hotels and Tim Hortons does in BC. Charge people a fee to get a job. Charge them a fee to get a visa. Charge them a fee above and beyond the PR costs and have them work off that amount. Fire them unannounced and stop their PR application so they can’t come back. Really a shame to see it get so much attention in Taiwan and yet it goes on daily here at home.

This will forever be associated with Pivot.

North shore bike park has moved into the old Air Rec site and is planning to reopen this fall.

I think the chassis was unchanged, that the differences were in the piston/shim/cone-valve parts and the knobs were anodized red. You could view it as a very custom tune. Those damper parts are CNC machined whether you follow the existing DVO design or make the cone-valve parts. Making new CNC parts just means you start with a different program on the CNC. Designing and tuning those parts might've been little more than a fun distraction for WP's damper design/tuning guy if he was tinkering with his own ebike prototype.

Well just wanted to share some results on some tire durometer measurements that I have collected of some of the more popular tires in my collection. Method: All tires were measured while sitting on a flat plate of steel to provide equal and consistent backing support. Nothing was measured mounted. I measured the Maxxis brand new out of the box and again after this weekend's Boondocks race at NorthStar, no change was detectable in the results, so I just added the miles that I was at after measuring yesterday. All measurements were an average of 3. The hysteresis of the...
