saskskier Added a reply to Valentin Anouilh Jumps the Tour de France Peloton - AGAIN
7/12/2024 7:30am I'm sure the UCI will try and find a way to fine and relegate Anouih for antics like this. Lol

7/10/2024 4:58pm Has anyone heard anything about Chromag coming out with an aluminum dj? Allegedly one of our local slope guys has been on one, but it feels like a pretty big departure for Chromag to go that way. That said, maybe their riders have been asking for something more slope oriented than the Monk?

7/9/2024 6:56am Just spent a week riding Kamloops (Sun Peaks), Revelstoke, Squamish and Fromme in North Vancouver. The Lewis LH4's are holding up great and felt like I had a ton of control and confidence going into some big slabs and some steep dh loamers. Tons of modulation and all kinds of power to work with. So far I've just had one...

6/20/2024 2:29pm I'm not sure how long my rear hose was on my Lewis LH4's, but the shop had to trim it and I'm on an XL Rocky Mountain Slayer 29", which is...lengthy. There's no way it was only 160cm.

6/6/2024 2:00pm I have a Slayer 29 and the shop said they had to trim a bit for the rear, so perhaps they're sending out inconsistent hose lengths? I wouldn't be super surprised, but who knows.

6/6/2024 11:59am I'll double check with the shop that installed them. They didn't say anything about having to trim or swap out, though.

6/6/2024 6:55am So I've got a few rides on the Lewis LH4 brakes and they've been pretty great thus far. A few things about me: - I'm 6'4 and about 280lbs kitted up. - Bike is a 2020 Rocky Mountain Slayer A50 29". Was previously using SLX 4pot brakes with Galfer 220/200 rotors. - I live in Calgary and my home trails...

Her line at the womens rampage event was insane. Felt like she was the only one to say give me a natural fucked up chute in my run. She's def the most 'free ride' of the women. Wonder if she just grew up riding natural stuff at home.

5/31/2024 10:13am Don't forget Cami! I think she was the one who unlocked the road gap for the ladies and she hit the on/off before the 90's. Really curious to see if any of them will check those off. I have no doubts they're keen, but not sure if they can get the speed.

5/28/2024 6:12pm Ha ha. All fair points. I don't think Gee cares, but the higher ups might. If they pull it from the race (and can make it work a bit better), it'd be cool to have a session with athletes that want to hit it. After some reflection though, I also think that the weather is such a crapshoot at the...

5/28/2024 5:41pm I honestly have no idea, but in all my years of riding and following races/events/etc, I've never seen this kind of pushback from fans to shut down a feature. I've never seen petitions for Gee (or other riders) to calm down. Like I said, if the riders are calling it, great. If they (or the organizers) are bowing to the...

5/28/2024 5:28pm I have no interest in blood, guts and gore. I have an interest in riders having the autonomy to make their own decisions about what they want to ride and/or how far they want to progress. It shouldn't be up to the viewers that thinks that new blue flow trail was a rowdy good time to decide what the very...

5/28/2024 3:40pm Seems like it'll just be lots of speculation until there's an official announcement.

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
