Was sweatin’ a bit after I posted that screenshot and thought for sure there was no way it could be read. I should have known better 😂 Dak and Jess are officially on Scott DH Factory. We recorded a pod with Dak last week, you can listen to it wherever you listen to podcasts, and read the team press release here - https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/dakotah-norton-jess-blewitt-join-scot…

Hoping Maxwell all the best in her reset / recharge. Women’s XC has been so sick the past few years and she’s a huge part of it. Glad she’s being as honest with herself as she seems in her interviews.

The Hardline lineup is an absolute banger. Any reason why Oli Clark is omitted? He put down a heater in Wales and put out some of the best clips of the weekend. Squamish definitely has the terrain to put together a Hardline, and I would be beyond stoked for it. I'd imagine making a track that can be televised as...

Another rim tape suggestion: I find that when I can't get rim tape to stick (which is often, even with cleaning well, using a heat gun, etc) is to Gorilla tape the rim after it's fully cleaned, press it down to have it adhere, remove it, and then install rim tape. I've found that whatever residue is left behind by...

I never noticed that until you just pointed it out, even though I've seen this bike so many times. It's at the top of the list of bikes I actually want to ride, alongside the Rallon (in both DH and enduro capacity).

Likely just an easy number to move towards. It's not too big (36) but enough of a jump in size to make people think its better. Pure marketing. 29" kind of made sense, it was already the same rim and tire diameter as road bikes, so making that jump for manufactures of wheels and tires, well all they really needed to do was make there 26" wheels and tires on machines they kind of already had. Remember, this was when MTB rims were huge if they were 25mm wide. And when that kind of stalled, they introduced 27.5 as an...

Probably missed this discussion, but is there a reason we went from 29 to 32? What about 30 or 31? Or 30.5 (just like 27.5 is between 26 and 29). Curious: Was 32 just an arbitrary choice, or is there some reasoning?
