bowling ball visual flair ain't cheap

A $20,000 electric bowling ball. Don’t ever change Specialized…

I have the alloy frame built up with xo transmission ext era fork 150mm and Storia coil, king hubs carbon rims, codes with 200mm rotors, dd/dh casing tires no inserts S3 and it’s a touch over 36lbs. With a tool and water bottle be about 38lbs riding. I don’t notice the weight. It’s a well balanced bike. The weight debate for trail/enduro bikes is bs, everybody wants more, gears, travel, beefier fork, tires, massive rotors and 4 piston brakes, inserts, super long dropper post, but they want it light. Lights doesn’t last or ride well on rough chunky trails.

See, that's the beauty: it can be all of those things. And the case is closed for me, I'd rather do long pedal rides on a too-heavy bike than ride a bike park or shuttle DH laps on a too-light bike.

Financially speaking, if Orbea wanted a truck at North American events, they would buy a truck that is already in North America. Shipping a vehicle like that overseas is not cheap.. Plus, all the other legalities with registration and such.. I can't see that making any sense, even if they did a full blown team here..

That made my day, thanks for posting. 🤣👍

Over under on Neko and Logan getting into a fight in the pits?

he's still not as excited as that time he won and was gifted a chainsaw.

Best podium of the new 3-step era. Imagine how far you would’ve been tossed by that hole APierron hit. Dude folded like some regular guy. more Goldstone vs Bruni, I love it!

This Stumpjumper video you posted came at a funny time, because I just got a real deal digital scale for weighing bikes (shoutout to Feedback Sports, who's a Vital sponsor) and weighed my bike recently, and it was almost exact same weight as yours. My bike weighed in at 40.9 pounds, which surprised me, but at the same time it's my favorite bike and probably the best riding trail bike I've ever had. Carbon frame, but alloy everything else, Sidekick rear hub, Podium fork, coil shock, Maven brakes, DH tires, rear Cushcore, and a 29" spare tube in the downtube...

What's going on in the heads of spectators turning up with chainsaws AND ear defenders? I'll put you through this whether you like it or not, but I myself don't want to hear it? They were fun at first, but it's getting a bit old (or maybe it's just me getting a bit old). Lovely to hear a bit of The Prodigy, I kinda knew Liam and Keith back in my raving days and it brought back some great memories.

That was nuts, so close to numerous trees and course markers! At least he knows he's got a career ahead of him as a motivational speaker when he's done riding. 🤣

Animal. Races some Enduro, focuses on DH, shows up at Worlds and takes it.

A picture is worth a thousand words!

I don't think you and I see eye to eye on everything, but damn if my heart didn't warm a little bit when I read that you also hate "What I Got."

Thats not even sublimes worst song 🤣
