E-xc just wrapped up. Wyn was 11th, good for him.

Yeah, well, my kids were in the front line opposite side of the main stampede, just told them, let the crazy guys run first and the you walk down, you can be buried in the grass in a second.. so, I think the crowd rushing to the finish area, in a way is done OK-ish respecting the race and if you want to gamble it rushing down, you know what you are gettin in ...its common sense.. and this does not need to be policed too much... lots of people doing stupid things and getting carried out by paramedics while...

The Crocs are in sport mode, he will be fine.

(Cross-post from the Bike Economics thread; if people don't think it's relevant to this thread, I'll delete it) My friend (- owner of a small chain of bike shops) just told me that, a couple of days ago, Trek informed their dealerships that there's going to be a lot of change in their product line-up in the near future. Apparenly Trek is discontinuing a bunch of models, including the Session, Slash, Remedy and Top Fuel.

Pure conjecture, but I get the impression that VPP works best on long travel bikes. The Tallboy is kinda marketed as a “downhiller’s trail bike” so I wonder if they’re taking what they learned from the e-bikes for suspension design and prioritizing dropper insertion because at that travel bracket geometry matters more than suspension performance.

There are some people (including me) who do not want full power tho. I just bought my first e-bike, and after trying the CX5 motor, it was clear to me that full power isn't remotely interesting to me. Where I tried the bike, after 1h of riding I had completed all the trails (6 laps), I wasn't motivated to keep on riding and didn't feel tired (except upper body hehe), and the bike felt like a tank while descending. Not super fun. I'm on the TQ60 (edit: Sight VLT TQ, for those wondering) now and it seems like it the...

Fuel imo has better geo for taller folks- I’d be an xl. MTE is sweet and the suspension supposed to be awesome. Bummer it comes with a 36 vs a 38. Vala sl could be a good option but would prefer the tq or similar motor.
