I heard its best to run the Fox 38s and Zebs with full dampening. Also important to add an s to the end of every forks name too (cause why not). Find me at your local blue flow trail this weekend blasting Nickelback from my bluetooth speaker.

"Dampener" is the equivalent of putting your fork on backwards. We owe these people a heads up. Whether they choose to listen is their choice. And yes, this is a real image from an issue of Men's Health.

DAMPER

What a dampener may look like

Replay show from TN National is live!

Tennessee National race results - Dak and Frida PowerCouple victories. Dane Jewett in 17-18 would have been 2nd in Elite. Have a video clip of Asa going down right after a bridge crossing. Word is he went to hospital just to make sure he wasn't concussed but should be ok. UPDATE - we now have a report that Asa is out for 8-12 weeks with a broken iliac crest on his hip (thanks @hogfly for this). From Jack, "as soon as the announcer said pros were starting, an icy, cold wind started blowing up the mountain." Cat 1 Under 18...

DAMPER

It's Streisand effect. 99% of people wouldn't notice the difference in the bike passing by on the trail. Wrap the same bike in a cover to keep it "secret" and now everyone notices.

I'm gonna cover all of our Sea Otter booth display bikes in black canvas with "DO NOT POST TO VITAL" graphics.

I think it’s time to change water bottle boss spacing. shits been the same for at least 40 years now with no competition. This is the final frontier of MTB innovation.

We had to introduce a "piss charge" of $100 for hosing the tri bikes down before the techs worked on them. IYKYK.

even back when i was a shop mechanic in the mid 00s, dealing with triathletes was the absolute worst. i can't imagine how insufferable they are today.

Not a personal attack but the fact that sram has us using the term “ecosystem” makes me wanna barf all over.

I've had that conversation with someone (triathlete) about a year after they launched the new RED. "My gears are slipping" 'Your inner chainring is really badly worn and chain wear is waaay past 1%' "oh ....I've only done 8k on it" (seemingly without ever cleaning it) 'and it's one piece with the outer ring and power meter.....but SRAM do a trade in service at 50% discount' "oh that is a relief I thought it was going to be expensive!!" 'Well the original price is £800, so it's still £400 plus a chain and a cassette at £350 and labour' It...

its like the red powermeter reloaded, obsolete when the chainring is worn

Someone wants attention
