Back at it again with my horrendous image measurements, this time something actually bicycle related. I took the shock eye to eye of 225mm and zoomed in super close to align it to the centre of the shock bolts and scaled the image until the measurement was exactly 225. I drew a line to the middle of the shimano crank spindle and the middle of the rear thru-axle (also zoomed in until my eyes were bleeding to estimate the centre as best as possible). I then measured the horizontal distance between the two points (used construction lines to make this...

I'm also either going...

Battery degradation is my main eeb concern in 2025. Eebs are the purest form of mountain biking ever: bomb smash repeat. The rippin and the tearin. Philosophical tenderberries that think there’s some sort of karmic reward for earning your...

A masshole. Wait, that's taken already.

It's working, when was the last time you heard reports of the Germans sinking a Manitou fork?

Manitou has selected this particular paint scheme to make it so German U-boats will be unable to accurately estimate Manitou riders' speed and heading.
