He's Canadian, that's a hockey puck.

Vital forum detective level just hit a new high...

Unfortunately I'm an idiot, so I'll answer your question even if it is sarcastic. I found a known value that's easy to measure, the rear brake rotor. I set it to 203mm (as mentioned in a bike check from my memory) 16.2cm = 6.377 inch, rounded up however the app used rounds things and also not a perfect angle. Closest match for phone size would be a Iphone 16/17 pro max at 16.3 cm or a google pixel 9/10 at 6.3 inches. I'm going to go with the iphone 16/17 pro max. I should touch grass. I'm also either going...

Thumbs up for the magazine. I miss print.

200mm post mount makes sense because then you can accommodate 200mm or 203 rotors with just a couple of washers.

I used to have a fairly close relationship with the guys at DVO. San and DVO are two completely separate companies. DVO at least years back, used to rent space at the Sun factory for assembly in a little bit of R&D. The only thing that they share would be parts of chassis itself. The internals are completely different. When DVO first released some of their stuff, it was absolutely on par with fox and rock, shock and better in some ways as well too. I’m not sure what happened around Covid but their quality control took such a big...

Norco and spesh in a silent competition to see who can take the longest to release their DH bike to the public

Sounds like you've got DVO confused with Marzocchi.

Lol. I guess all the Devinci jerseys (and rumours of an upcoming new Wilson) had my hopes up and I jumped the gun. Ha ha

lol it's a pivot

My understanding is that manufacturers mostly build carbon frames from the ground up (as opposed to being assembled from pre-manufactured tubes, a la Atherton Bikes), and that layup patterns don't vary much or at all between sizes ( with a few notable exceptions). But that might be old wisdom on my part, and perhaps the industry is more sophisticated in the way it designs layup patternds now. Maybe everyone is tuning thickness and layup pattern between sizes, but only a few brands are explicitly advertising it. Here's an example of Unno's layup for the Dash 130:

Show us on the doll where the X2 touched you.

dude, go outside and ride your bike!

Correct, though as of last year Float X2 is no longer twin tube and has moved to a mono-tube design. We kept the X2 designations to help the majority of riders understand what product relates to what category and what adjustments they can expect on the product.

It depends on why you're so salty. Bad nutrition? You're probably fine but your hydration will be lacking. Bad attitude? You'll be pissing everyone off enough that they'll be dried out, too.

I'm here to defend (good) trail associations. I was the first Executive Director of Evergreen MTB Alliance in WA State in the early 00's and then on the exec committee of the board for another 10 years. We (both paid crews and volunteers) built tons of tech trails, and yeah a lot of flow trails and jump lines for the masses. I think a good balance between the styles. Behind the scenes we fought HARD to keep open the unsanctioned areas - areas I rode and may or may not have spent countless hours digging at That fight wasn't...

Re: IMBA (and other trail associations) besides them building almost exclusively flow trails, I find the biggest drawback is the mob mentality of people that take part. -Come in and gaslight local government into letting them be the judge jury and executioner regarding how the entire trail system will be built and managed moving forward. -Build exclusively flow. (Requires excavators) -Gaslight local government into requiring parking permits to support excavator trails people didn’t ask for. Parking used to free. -Extended and unnecessary trail closures whenever it even slightly rains. “It’ll ruin the flow berms bro, be a good trail steward...
