stringbean Added a reply to Where to go for a two week summer MTB vacation?
1/9/2020 11:36am Whistler/squam/pemby, I would limit the time staying in whistler unless you like bleeding money, accommodation in pemby and squamish will be cheaper. Pemby doesn't have a lot going on once you finish riding but its a cool place, and your going to drive right through Bellingham so may as well check that out caus they have some decent trails.

stringbean Added a reply to Kerr Denied License, won’t race A1 - Tweets; anyone confirm?
1/3/2020 8:39am Lame for sure but not super surprised, it did seem all to easy for him to just rock up and race A1 without any previous racing experience. It would be awesome if he kept at it and got everything lined up to race later in the season or at A1 next year.

stringbean Added a reply to Dropper Post recommendation (or warning)
12/19/2019 10:26pm My giant dropper has been going strong for 2 seasons without an issue,but i'll be getting a oneup for my next dropper, good price, there products work well and a 200mm drop for my 6'4" body sounds pretty good. PNW seem like another good option that wont break the bank
stringbean Added a reply to Is there some formula to determine stem length to handlebar width when upgrading handlebar?
10/31/2019 12:04pm Thats called marketing If its an older bike just get the bars, if it feels like crap look at changing the stem.

9/13/2019 3:48pm Unfortunatley there would be something in his contract saying he cant talk about it, and would probably be penalized by the company in some way if he did.

Very solid pads, but a little on the heavy side

8/23/2019 11:53am Check out the YT Young Talent camps videos, pretty much explained in those. Took a year away from world cups, spent that money finding some new junior riders from various parts of the world.

Contract talk is interesting. I feel manufacturers don't want the public and other riders to know how much they are getting paid, as Troy says the top 5 are on some proper money, well into the 6 figures. A rider just outside the top 10 is on a lot less, but without knowing what other riders are on, they have no leverage, no one to compare to and are more than likely being under compensated. The winners of that are whoever they are riding for because its more money in the back pocket for the boss dogg's.

7/30/2019 9:54am Whats your bar height at? Im at 6'4 and ride an XL, I have struggled with lower back pain while riding and tried a few different things, putting a 40mm rise bar and getting the bar height up has helped a lot.

7/28/2019 6:35pm Sticker the hell out of it and slap some 3M protection over the top, or 3M protection and draw on it. Gets rid of the grey a bit and get the bike you want.
