Mmm, al dente tubes for crab links

This seems like a solution that creates new problems.

Shity bikes shittily assembled? Sign me up!

Once upon a time, I worked at a shop, as a wrench from around 14yo till I was 21 or so, I then went on to about 12 years on the USA and World Cup circuit as a pro wrench and team manager. When I retired from that in 2004, my wife had a successful business and we had a kid so I became stay at home dad. In our town, I was told constantly by cycling friends "you need to start a mobile or garage based wrench biz, there are no good mechanics in town"...so I did, did pretty...

Yep! Issue 43, Jan/Feb 2004. You want pics of it?

You know, before "enduro" we used have these things called "freeride" bikes, so it's not a new concept.

The man of the weekend! And with dry tires....

Junior women Winner was faster than Elite woman winner

And Asa would have been 6th in Elite… #thekidsarealright

4. Odds that YouTube users - especially mtb video watchers - click on an attractive lady: 95% 5. Odds that YouTube's algorithm prefers/promotes videos with thumbnails of people's faces more than products thumbnails: 100% Just wanted to also add those in there.

This comment is so asinine. What ‘type’ of man is Aaron? What type of man would he be if the thumbnail was riding? Would he not love his wife? Not to mention the thumbnail was probably chosen by an editor and Aaron may not have even given input.

That's good to know. I think I saw that bit about float and degrees in an Ochain press release or marketing materials somewhere. It basically said more travel typically needs more float because more degrees of kickback, and I remember seeing 6-10 degrees. But it seems like you know what you're talking about, and seems like I'm way off, so I'll take your word for it. 21 degrees is a lot more than 6! Wondering if maybe that was degrees of pedal kickback at the sag point? Don't know. Thanks for dropping the knowledge.

Neko (junior) and Logan Bingelli (elite) at Beech Mountain in 2012. Lots of drama. Lots of intrigue. Lots of USAC bungling. Seems USAC did a much better job of knowing the rules this time around, which is nice. Shoutout to Matilda Melton, Aletha Ostgaard, and Lucas Dedora who also had incredible runs in juniors, with times that would put them on an elite podium. The future is looking bright! Wearing my Vital "USDH" shirt with pride today. And sadness, too

Those Be One bikes were rad but man were they fragile

Those helmets are some of my most prized possessions, got em on display in my garage. Thanks again for being so supportive!

Thanks for the props, much appreciated!

Damn, that bike looks better with the black fork! Glad your bro got a couple years out of the bike. I still have a set of those I9 wheels with the custom white powdercoated hubs.
