Chainstay basically aligned with top tube, round looking cable entry on the down tube. Closest I could find is a Trek Sesh

Chainstay talk again... This is why we can't have nice things

Probably cause you’re supposed to bin them straight away

The funny thing is that Aaron mentioned that riding with Asa is going to help him, too...

I finally wrapped up my XT vs. XT brake test, here for your viewing pleasure - https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/comparing-shimano-xt-brake-performanc… The TLDR: - New brakes worked much more consistently. Never had any wandering bite point issues and the lever feel stayed solid in varying conditions. When I tested the new XTR brakes last year, I had a similar experience. I think the new oil/seals play a huge part in this, and the 'stiffer caliper' probably has some effect too. Don't @ me about - New reach adjust dial is a pain to turn IMO. I like the grip of the old one and...

Scott is now a full team of people's champs. I'm rooting for every single one of their riders to get a great result.

Dak liked a picture of my dog on IG, so he's good in my book.

Anyone see the Crestline in the background of Daks story?

@DontWorryImAPilot thanks for the idea. We found Daks new kit and teammates.

Honestly, who knows at this point. The new ski lift installation, which was the reason for the bike park being closed last summer, did not happen. The timber harvest that was supposed to fund the lift installation, that closed the bike park last summer, did not happen The permit for the lift installation, that was supposed to be paid for by the timber harvest, that closed the bike park last summer, was denied due to zoning issues. And lastly; the lift that was already purchased and has sat on the ground for many months, which had it's permit denied, which...

yes, there was a specialized university video up shortly, the lower spec one gets the bigger power update than the sworks, but there will still be a difference between them "Thanks to automatic updates via the Specialized app, your bike keeps improving over time — right from home. Specialized isn’t sticking with the old formula; they’re redefining what a top-tier e-MTB can do. With more peak power, more natural power delivery, quicker responsiveness, and new customisation options, the S-Works motor now gains 18% more peak output, reaching 850W , while still delivering 111Nm of torque . The standard model gains...

A guy I know was on his first solo mountain bike ride when he started cramping up. Had that first bike / new hobby stoke and was trying out the route we’d shown him the week prior. He hadn’t done a ton of long cardio activities in a while, and ended up getting roasted on a hot day. Mega cramps had him walking the final trail back, with some sit downs and some groaning. Those really gnarly leg cramps that just debilitate you. Not particularly funny. Until a rider came by and helped by offering water and an energy packet...
