I have both currently and I prefer the Oak levers. The freedom coast levers have a tighter (sharper) radius where they transition from the face of the lever up and over to the top/bottom and back. It can and does creat hotspots when I'm doing trails that are 1-2 miles and very steep and you're constantly on the brakes. Other then those extreme braking situations, the hot spot issue does not show up. The oak levers however have no such issues, have a more comfortable and eased hook to them and do add some leverage. Basically, the oak levers are...

My wife and I were there From the 10th to the 18th for the first time in about 4 years. It was our first trip back since having kids. My hot take was that it's actually a really fun place to take the whole family. Family Stuff: Axis bike camps are sick, they have drop in and weekly options. We took our Toddler who just turned 3 in June and when we picked him up he was riding his pedal bike on his own. He could pedal prior to our trip but needed help starting. He was fully independent on...

Ebikes erase hills, headwinds, and polls. DH bike and an eeb. Dealer’s choice on the eeb, they’re all better than every pedal bike. Easy peasy!

Propain Introduces New Color and Spec for the Rage CF With the latest update, PROPAIN unveils a fresh, distinctive look – while the bike's uncompromising DNA remains untouched. For over 18 years, the Rage has stood for uncompromising downhill performance, developed in close collaboration with our athletes and through countless races on the toughest tracks in the world. NEW LOOK A look that catches the eye: the new Strawberry Lipgloss frame color gives the Rage a distinctive, vibrant character. But be quick: only a small number of frames are available in this color. NEW SPEC EXT VAIA The EXT Vaia...

I think I could count the number of times I have washed any of my helmets ever on two hands...

Has the team been running Specialized tires for all the rounds and have the wins come on a certain tread pattern?

I know there’s a difference because it’s harder to control with bikes, but why is it such a big deal here when people unlock their hardware? I can drive a car faster than the speed limit, too. It’s the driver’s responsibility to follow the rules. If they don’t, there are penalties—or they lose their insurance coverage. It’s true, though, that we as humanity are apparently generally unable to exercise restraint at the moment. I think it’s illusory to believe that anyone will regulate themselves. As a personal experience: I still think my Unno with M1 is great. I don’t need...

Cheers for making this thread. I think it’s going to get quite old man shouts at clouds, but there we go. I come at this from a slightly different angle, I’m an elected local councillor. As a result I’ve managed to have meetings with a few of the land owners and managers at my local. It’s a complicated picture, 3 public owners, a few private and 2 main land managers who have different goals and incentives. It’s an intensively used bit of land, 2 million people live within 30km of it in a very nature deprived part of a very...

If Avinox were just delivering on power it would be much easier to snub, but their approach to integration and customization is seamless and their motor outright outperforms everything else. The new Kona with the Bosch CX is really close in weight to the 600Wh Avinox bikes so despite not pursuing a lightweight system they’re not meaningfully behind either.

Thanks for listening! Vital user pamtbr shared a rumor on the first page of the DJI forum thread similar to the same origin story you mentioned above, but Jeff and I have never heard anything to corroborate it and I don't know what pamtbr's source is, so as far as we're concerned it's apocryphal at best: "'I'm curious if anyone knows whether the DJI motor origin story rumor has any merit. As the rumor goes, at some point in time, Mike Sinyard was looking to develop something along the lines of a Surron. They were starting to pop up in...

How many of us would have instantly paid $350 to have this when we were balls deep on the first CC install 🤣

Phil Atwill is an AWESOME addition to hard league

haven't read all the replies but I'll put my input in. having broken a total of 6 reserve rims using CC pro i knew there was something up. turns out the pressure from "rim strikes" was transferred directly to the center bead; the thinnest spot of the rim and causing it to break over and over again, i had to buy another wheelset just to use the rims while the broken ones were in warranty process. ditched the rims and the inserts and changed my setup to Zipp/CB rims with newly released (at the time) Conti tires per recommendation of...

That's cool, but why are you using pictures of an Orange bike ? 😁

Seeding results are in! Storming time by Asa, stoked to see Gwin up in fifth, and one has to wonder if Jackson is sandbagging or if he's not feeling it. Remember that unlike the World Cup, seeding carries no points and everybody who completes a top-to-bottom run and takes the start in qualifying gets to race finals at Hardline, so people could well be playing their cards close to the chest. Tune in tomorrow to see how it all plays out!
