saskskier Added a reply to 2024 Red Bull Hardline
5/28/2024 1:55pm Part of me is skeptical, not having heard anything from any other sources. Part of me is disappointed if it's true (especially if they were re-working the take off). Part of me is relieved because I don't want to see anyone hurt and weather/wind always plays such a big factor in whether or not the event actually takes place. If...

5/27/2024 10:27am I'd buy property in places I want to ride (Squamish, Revelstoke, somewhere in Europe, etc) and host friends whenever they want to come out. Donate tons to different trail organizations and non-profits that promote cycling and make access easier to low-income and marginalized communities. Ride when/where I want. Maybe push the limits of N+1, but give so many bikes away...

5/25/2024 7:35pm Absolutely they were/are. Cam and I had a good chat about them last night and figured it would be a good chance to test them out. I'm not sure I'd be willing to order them and try them out that way, but having a shop in on the experiment helps a whole bunch. Ha ha

5/25/2024 11:24am Change of plans. Went into the shop to get Domain's, but they had a set of Lewis (yes, the sort of Trickstuff knockoffs) brakes, so I'm going to give them a try. My shop brought them in because they were curious, but wanted someone who can put them through their paces. I'm 6'4 and 120kg and a half decent rider...

5/24/2024 6:58am Hayes is having a 20% off sale, so I'm getting Dominions. Was going to order from their site, but my LBS price matched, so stoked about that (don't have to deal with shipping, duty, etc). Once I have a bit of time on them, I'll make sure to do a good review for all the clydes out there. Ha ha

5/21/2024 7:20am So far, I haven't been super upset with things, but I'm also not paying for it (watching with friends who have). My thoughts are: 1. Scrap semi's. What's the point if it's not being broadcast or streamed? 2. I'm mostly okay with top 30 men, but would be alright with bumping it up a bit. I don't think we need...

5/17/2024 7:49am I don't want to derail this into a "what brake should I get" thread, but also, what brake should I get? My past three bikes I went from Avid something (pre-SRAM) and they were not great. Then Shimano Zee's and now Shimano SLX 4-pots with Galfer wave rotors (220/200) and (usually) Galfer pads on a RM Slayer 29. They've been...

A very attractive bicycle, with a sensible Min-Max build, plus a little treat on the fork for us olds. Chapeau!

I ordered them almost as soon as I ordered the Zeb and swapped them out before the fork was on the bike! Ha ha

3/28/2024 2:13pm Why would that be awkward? That's exactly what many of us are saying these guys should be doing. No one's saying it's an easy path. Lots of riders and privateers have to juggle their work life with their riding life. They have to use vacation time to travel for races and comps. Lots of guys have to figure out sick...

Sorry, maybe I should have made it clearer. "Sunday league" football is amateur players, your typical enthusiast footballer who's a plumber, van driver, teacher or whatever by day. Some decent players but in no way a commercial proposition. So I'd say a fair comparison, if not more favourable to the rider. As an additional aside, as a midpack journeyman enduro racer pre-EWS, racing around my day job, I managed to sell enough sponsorship to get the cash to race in Europe, on top of the bike and gear deals I did for myself. So yeah, I know first hand it...

3/27/2024 1:27pm Long story short: "There's a lot more going on that Crankworx isn't sharing on social media or press releases, but I'm not going to go into it" This video hasn't done anything to make me feel more sympathetic towards the athletes. Absolutely make sure the athletes have a voice when it comes to course safety and impact of weather/etc on...
