The French teams are fun now, and Gwin's American team is the bummer squad. What a reversal.

"The NICA racer who uses organized high school spandex competition as the loophole to trick mom or dad into buying them a trail or enduro bike that’s actually fun to ride." Don't hate the player, hate the game.

I did this once and its something you never recover from. I cannot inflate any tire of any kind anymore without just a little hint of doubt creeping into my mind as its filling up.

The article says "Compared to the previous generation, the Slayer’s suspension curve has been flattened." Are you sure? The graph right below the quote shows a steeper and more progressive leverage rate curve on the 2020 bikes than the 2017-19.

I did this once at a Walmart Tire Center at 7 am on the morning of a race. Their compressor was so powerful it tacoed my front wheel as the tire exploded off the rim, and my hand swelled up a ton from the impact. About a dozen people heard the sound and came from the store to see me covered in sealant. It was a great start to my race day.

Raceface ARC rims are made of butter and I could dent them by sitting on my bike too hard. If you're 215 pounds and you're running 22 psi and you haven't destroyed those wheels yet, your bike riding looks very different than mine. I'm not sure you should spend too much time worrying about what other people are doing because it sounds like you could run road bike wheels.

Cushcore are dope and do everything I would hope and more. Stops tire roll, saves me big $$$ on rims, and lets me ride like an idiot through rocks. I'll never ride a long-ish travel bike without at least an insert in the rear.

Just curious, what tire pressure are you running? Wheel death typically starts with a rim dent. By permanently deforming the rim, it puts uneven tension on the spokes. With uneven spoke tension, the whole wheel rapidly de-tensions. Subsequent dents make things worse. If you're running very high tire pressure, that might be how you're able to avoid denting wheels.

TEAMROBOT Added a reply to best clipless pedal
12/17/2019 1:10pm Have ridden lots of pedals and I always come back to SPD's. I love the XT Trail pedal for value and durability. I think Mallet's are the best feeling pedals, but they break all the time or just fall apart. If you ride a lot, you've either gotta be a rich man or sponsored to run Mallets. The downside with...
TEAMROBOT Added a reply to Question(ing) - Strava Segment Leaderboards
12/11/2019 3:52pm When you create a new segment in Strava, it recommends that you not create segments shorter than a minute. The GPS data is accurate enough to give a good time estimate for longer times and distances, but below a minute and it's not accurate. I notice that almost all the complaints in this thread are for segments under a minute...

Thank you for your super scientific test. The lesson here is tread pattern doesn't have a significant effect on rolling resistance. It's all casing and compound. Sweet.
