8/3/2024 6:35am I've been rocking specialized tires lately. Purgatory t9 grid trail, ground control grid t7 on the hardtail; butcher t9 grid trail, eliminator t7/t9 grid gravity on the trail bike, and cannibal t9 grid gravity front and rear on the enduro/park bike. Things I would like: 1. I wish they offered the ground control in grid trail casing. It's a great...

6/1/2024 6:28am Don't forget about the Cannibal. Tread pattern wise it's their closest to an Assegai but thrives more at higher speeds than the Assegai IMO. Unfortunately only available right now in the grid gravity casing. I really loved the Conti stuff but am fully on the Spesh train until they expand their casings/compounds offerings.

5/31/2024 1:30pm What Maxxis compound/casing would you be looking to replace?

5/31/2024 12:45pm You should seriously check out the Specialized tires. I've been really pleased with them and the prices are very affordable.

5/30/2024 8:52am I would advise against it. Trail casing is only available (for now) in the hard endurance casing. I ran that briefly on the front of a mid travel bike and did not like it, grip was very poor. Soft is fine on the front for dry trail speed riding but for wetter trails or higher speeds you gotta go with...

Love the Dreadnought! I'm interested in running the same chainstay tape/silencer on my druid. Any issues with excess chain rub when in the smallest cassette cogs?

Maybe you got a bad batch? All three sets of mine have been fantastic for over a year

11/23/2018 7:47am Ah yes, the classic "plastic courage" argument. While I can certainly understand a newer rider getting psyched out from "having to" wear the full Ninja turtle suit to ride park, I personally feel more confident riding gnarly stuff with kneepads, elbow pads, full face on. For the record, I'm not trying to launch a discussion on when it's appropriate to...

11/22/2018 12:38pm I've had/have the following helmets in this category over the past few years: MET Parachute Bell Super 2R Bell Super 3R Giro Switchblade Bell Super DH Fox Proframe Also a Giro disciple (regular DH full face). Thoughts on each: MET Parachute: very comfortable, light weight, very goofy looking. Poor chin/jaw coverage, still got face rash when crashing with it twice...

7/16/2017 10:18am I'm all over the place. Usually North County if I want to keep it more local, also PQ and Cowles. Can't beat Noble though

7/15/2017 11:54am I'm in San Diego, would be happy to go enduro bro with you for a day or two. I'm also a total gear nerd so I may be able to answer questions about bikes, tires, helmets, pads, whatever

The push shock in this frame contacts the brake and rear der. line when compressed, this is one of the workarounds people have come up with

Agreed that it looks like he's beat it half to death, though if I had to guess the tape on the handlebar is to cover up non-sponsors' logos.
