taldfind Added a reply to Used Market Opinions and Experience (entire bikes)
2/20/2025 6:16am The used market is really painful for selling, but great for buying right now. Back in 2014, I had a 2009 Commencal Furious VIP frame for sell. It had scratches and dings, but nothing that would hurt its performance. I sold it pretty quickly for $1,000. In 2023, I had a 2021 Commencal Meta AM 29 frame for sale. It...

2/20/2025 5:59am My opinion... Used ebikes have the re-sale value of a pringles can left out in the rain for 4 weeks and full of water. Any real mileage on them (over 300-500) and there will be practically no interest, even at 50% under msrp. Not a shocker, but it's a turn in the market where your ownership decisions are now impacted by that. Previously, the move was either get a new ebike every year before the depreciation got gnarly, or just hold onto it and run it into the ground. Now the answer is clear, run it into the ground and...

8/29/2024 4:16pm Congrats Asa! Another WORLD CHAMPION from Durango. Two Americans on the podium. A great day for American DH racing. DH is where America puts together some global results. Time for USUCK, I mean USAC to start putting their attention where the W's happen

8/21/2024 10:44am Did USAC change the way DH riders are selected? Last I knew, top five at National Champs go on to Worlds, but I don't see Aaron Gwin on the list above despite getting on the Elite Men's podium.

If you are bottoming out, add air. The primary job of a spring is to support the rider and bike, therefore bottom out events are an indicator of too little support from the spring. When fine tuning... And you want to use less travel while increasing the "playfulness/pop" from the rear shock, add air. Or, if you want to use less travel while "deadening" the shock, increase compression dampening.

11/17/2023 4:09pm The thing is you're not making it fun. As mentioned above....in the past reamtumors and this thread had drawings, cliffhangers, jokes, puzzles and falsehoods. You're in fact adding nothing intellectual, insightful or entertaining. Child's play. But again, you know and we don't. You must sleep so good at night.

10/25/2023 5:45pm Buddy, lots of people on here have done lots of cool stuff, are doing lots of cool stuff, know many amazing people and are also very involved in the bike industry at many different levels or are those people that are racing. They just don't use it to try to boost and make it seems like their comments or opinions matter more than others. If you want to be taken seriously I'd chill and show some respect to all the people you name dropped enough not to use them to try and elevate yourself above someone else.

TEAMROBOT Liked a reply to forum topic DH's Potential for Mass Viewership Outside of MTB Participants
10/12/2023 6:15am DH will never achieve mainstream viewership. It's more boring than baseball if you're not a dedicated fan. Anyone who tells you DH is about to "break through" is selling you a bridge. The Rampage broadcast could achieve mainstream viewership in theory, but the way they broadcast it live is SOOOOOO long and boring, and it's a just once-a-year event which makes it hard for people to attach to. As it sits, watching a live Rampage broadcast is a mix of boredom, white hot panic, and frustration.

Headshot Liked a comment about Feature A Year Later, Is World Cup Downhill Racing Better?
10/12/2023 5:24am The season as a whole was very good but the coverage and overall package just lacked the lovely feel that the RBTV show used to have. For me the worst part by far was the commentary. The repetitive reference to speed and heart rate of the riders is irritating. CG is no Rob Warner and Rick is not much better. I watched some races with the sound turned down and music on the hifi. Gwin saved the last two races but still had to battle the inane interruptions of Rick and CG. Camera work was dismal at times. At MSA...

10/11/2023 3:19am If I'm paying money for something that used to be free, I better get something more for paying than I used to get when it was free. Being smart with money has nothing to do with being a fan of the sport.
