3/4/2026 3:24pm Or is it smaller as they aren't setting fire to excess stock that has been imported? They made larger losses in 23 than 24 as inventory was shed and imports dropped to account for excess inventory.

2/24/2026 3:45pm For both brands, you should always buy the most expensive chain they sell, so XX and XTR as the harder coatings on them often double to triple the usage you can get out of them, more than offsetting the cost increase. Zero friction cycling has the data, but XX flat top chains in particular are the cheapest chain per mile...

2/17/2026 4:44pm Iirc they use the product as shipped, as it's much more relevant than people mix and matching which doesn't happen on stock bikes. It's one of the better brake tests done, sorry it's not to your standards. I'll kindly wait your entirely free review of 14 brake systems in and out of the lab, until then, maybe be a touch...

2/13/2026 9:55pm Id go the cattle trough. Its better that its off the floor, less bending down for the staff, easier to clean the mud out of it, just fix it to the wall and run some sheeting over the edge into it from the wall and done

2/12/2026 2:09pm Cheapest option, if you have outside access any bike stand (or wall mount) with a hose and good drainage = bike wash station. Maybe set up some branded boarding to deal with over spray. Internally, go find a kitchen supply store/stainless manufacturer. They will be a lot cheaper than off the shelf options. If you can wall mount, it will...

2/10/2026 4:22pm Pretty much, there are shots of the riders in full alpine stars gear during pre season. So they're definitely not wearing specialized apparel this season.

2/7/2026 7:27pm Knowing the hill, from wombat gap down it would be properly slick and very dangerous. The lower jumps wouldn't be possible. Once the rain has time to soak a bit it rides fine, but initially you get slick clay on rock hard clay and it's just death.

2/7/2026 7:18pm Surprised they didn't go live and just go around chatting and do some interviews? Rain has cleared up, think they're just assessing the track, it's only a bit of wind currently.

2/7/2026 12:40pm The women didn't hit the final jump due to the headwind. Some of the men weren't clearing it, so it wasn't worth the risk.
SteveClimber Added a reply to Tire debate: Cannibal, HR3, or Radial
2/6/2026 2:21pm Conti do the opposite of what most tyre manufacturers do when it comes to rubber stacking. The super soft have the softest rubber underneath, then a harder rubber on the outside for wear performance. So the knobs are pliable and soft but don't get chewed up too quickly. You notice that once your through that outer rubber they fall off...
SteveClimber Added a reply to Modern Geo Talk: Chainstays, Stack, Reach, and Bitching About It
2/5/2026 2:04pm RAD is really just the concept of spread, with extra steps. Spread (somewhat used before rad) is just the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by reach and stack. Its important as it determines "fit" and overall body position, but without FC/RC head angles, BB drop etc, it is useless by itself.

2/5/2026 1:57pm Why is the highlight of vital Raw hearing Moir yapping at everyone in the background haha. Awesome clips! Also its all good everyone, BK found the inside lines, so we don't have a spirit of cricket controversy (if you understand this reference)

2/4/2026 2:27pm Also movie to Genio yields real benefits other than scale. They now have access to better tubing (butted tubes) and can hydroform the seat-tube, meaning a better product overall. I wonder how many different triangles they are producing now? Are they all unique for each size and frame?
