Scatterbrained Added a reply to Michelin tires thread!
1/5/2021 4:16am It's nice to see so many other people struggling to find Michelin tires. I ran Wild Enduros front and rear (the previous version before the new rubber compounds were released) and I loved them. Unfortunately the rough trail surfaces in SoCal eat tires fast. I ran the rear down to threads in about two-ish months and had the side knobs...

10/8/2020 4:59am I still have a soft spot in my memories for BIKE mag from the mid 90s, when I was a teen shop grom and the images in BIKE were like Nat Geo for cyclists. Sad indeed to see them go.

Bike withstanding, the other publications haven't offered a whole lot of really solid content in years. Just head to Powder's homepage. Follow their editor on Twitter. Look at what they are pushing. Its kind of a mess. I think this could be a good thing. The mags could get bought (for pennies on the dollar) by a company that wants to do something with those names. If they all adopted a bit more of a Vital model (as far as quality of content online goes), dropping the "what fleece is best for fall" stuff, putting more resources into killer storytelling...

4/15/2020 2:28pm I have mixed feelings about that list; Kashima: marginal gains. of the small percentage of people who may be able to tell the difference, I'd imagine keeping your kit cleaned and lubed would eliminate the difference. . Carbon-ti: Sure, not really worth if for the small parts if you're not racing XC . Carbon Frame: Absolutely worth it, if you...

If your ruining derailleur's and rims regularly I'd probably be looking at line choice not parts, I have been running XT drivetrain for 5 years in anywhere from squamish and whistler trails to bike park bashing and never replaced parts for anything apart from incorrect installation (forgot to tighten cranks) and general wear. Im not a slow rider but if you choose poor lines it will cost you $$$
