Rimpact feels slightly weird to start with . After a couple of rides i totally forgot about it and it feels amazing descending . Would highly recommend

pinkbike (did the vital break yet?)

Are you running the rimpact? Could make sense for the noise, it’s either not perfectly lined up in steering tube and hitting the side or bottoming out. Could try a stiffer spring but then it’s going to change the frequency. The countershox is self contained and doesn’t bottom out.

The "weeping" from the windows of the crown is not very common, and mostly traced to customers who pressure wash their bikes. They stopped pressure washing, and we stopped seeing a problem. As for this specific fork, it could be residue from assembly, or it could be other factors. In each case, it's a temporary factor that, if cleaned, goes away. This is something we didn't experience in testing over the years, but it is something that we have seen in a handful of customer forks. We were able to recreate it here in our test lab via several experiments...

Conspiracy Theory Hot Take - Now that SRAM owns O-chain will Non-SRAM sponsored athletes be asked by their drivetrain sponsors not to run them? Or will mechanics just get out the Sharpie?

Fine if you feel that way, but I try to ask for riders opinions on the current state of the sport and also anything happening inside so people from the outside can learn more, Finns response was great and a lot people enjoyed his opinions. I interview riders who are doing well in the race, on race day my video is to tell the story of the race. I can't make a judgement on a case where no one actually knows the full story, and we never will it seems, so until then I will interview the riders who performed...

vital raw from lawlor (i downvoted anna newkirk out...that sucks!)

Mutual respect? This is just the soft power that brands exercise over media outlets that rely on freebies/free rentals for testing and review. If Fox had any respect for Vital, they would let the photos stay. I'm sure Fox wouldn't retaliate over a few leaked photos weeks before release, but if Vital consistently disobeyed such a large brand, you would start to see more Pinkbike exclusives. The idea this is out of respect is very naive... It's just about maintaining the relationship between boss and employee. That said, remember to support creators reviewing gear they pay for themselves.

nope, surrounded by metal, bad idea

There is zero room to hide an airtag in the TMD

Its a Mass Damper

Anyone know what this plug is in Jesse's steerer? TMD?

+1 for the old graphics

Anyone have any riding feedback comparing one of these to an ochain, especially with the trail springs?

Appears to be some sort of belted purse.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.
