Given the lack of non-cycling sponsors in MTB, how is this not the biggest story of the weekend?

Serious thanks to Vital MTB and SRAM for their outrageous prize package. Totally blew my mind. Really enjoyed the Fantasy competition and do hope that this continues for 2025. Thanks again.

I've not been in mtb that long but I've been on bikes for 2/3rds of my life. These are maybe...things I wished I'd have known before I rode mtb that would have put me on an mtb sooner and made me a lot happier. 1. Stop riding bmx sooner. There is no need to punish yourself that hard trying to learn tricks and have fast flow while riding street. You'll end up so injured you'll have to be off the bike for a long time and further damage a lifelong ankle injury sustained because of a moron football coach. You'll...

Hey all, just heard back from Rockshox tech support and here's what they had to say. Interestingly, they approved reusing cursh washers between 200-hour services: "The 200-hour service kit includes crush washers, which only need to be replaced during the 200-hour service. They can be reused during 50-hour services. The crush washers for each side of the fork are unique.

"...the really interesting aspect is how America's truly believe their economy is in bad shape, when in reality is the envy of the [world] and by far the most successful over the last few years." I've been yelling this at the top of my lungs to people around me. No one in my corner of the US would believe it or acknowledge it. I THINK it's a short memory and a lack of A-to-C (and beyond) critical thinking. "It was really good and now it's worse?" They can understand that. But they can't understand "It was really good and now...

I think it'll reinvigorate the used market a bit, for sure. TPC is probably drooling about it as we type/read.

That 9-45t cassette from shimano is neat. I've wanted a tighter 12 speed option for a while other than stuff like e13 and garbaruk. I ran e13's 9t stuff for a while and on most bikes it worked well, some bike shapes didn't play nice with the 9t for the most part it worked out well. Shimano had that XTR 10-45t cassette but as far as I could tell it was vapourware; I've never managed to see one in real life. But 9-45t allegedly coming on a bike? XTR LINKGLIDE being 11 speed? This is crazy. it's like they listened...
