Butch for sure lives in a fantasy land, mostly his head.

So theres a few other things that compound here - The thing about damper tunes that gets overlooked is that each damper really only has a limited window that it can be revalved to. The piston design, shaft side, damper bore and base valve dimensions all add up to work in a certain range of speeds and forces. It's not that straightforward to revalve a shock as soft or firm as you like. Once you are outside that window the pressures and forces inside the shock will no longer be balanced properly and it won't perform anywhere near what it...

I'd like to disagree with you on that.

Odd that such a flat, boring "Enduro stage of a track" a) delivers one of the most exciting and unpredictable races every year, b) takes more of a toll on both riders and bikes than pretty much any other venue, and c) based on comments on WynTV has the best, most knowledgeable fans. Definitely seems like you'd want to avoid that place

He gave props to GT's new Fury for carrying speed on flatter/faster parts of the track in addition to the Specialized/Maxxis chatter. Don't think there's anything at play, he's just a solid dude on commentary and to me doesn't put any bias into it even when his teammates are on track.

I had a guy at work tell me, ironically mere moments after I had read ferrintino’s piece on NSmB https://nsmb.com/articles/the-thief-of-joy/ anyways this coworker drops: what’s wrong with Strava? It’s just like racing whenever you want? as a former racer who worked really hard to achieve my goals and develop a race craft (I still suck) I found this comment sickening. Like it made me sick. Sickening. Like racing is actually lining up. Strava is not racing, and for those that think it could be, goactaully race. Xc, enduro, dh —Fucking race dh people. That’s racing. Strava is masturbation. and now...

Nico, ACC, Cedric, Pascal, ALL of the Aussies, Greg.....the 90's had F*CK tons of jrs that went on to be senior assassins. Another cool chart would be to see of the Jrs that crush it as Jrs, and where they go as seniors, because, time has shown very few go on to huge elite success. Are they getting "faster" perhaps, is the amount of them more than ever? perhaps. As for Asa, I sure wish people would just let him be himself and do what he's gonna do. So many people with the rap of "just you wait, he's gonna...

If my vest had sleeves, it would be a jacket…. you’re comparing a coil in-line shock designed for a Spur, with an air shock (with piggyback) designed for a Spire or TR-11, and are surprised that they are in fact close on weight?

do you have a link? i don't see any mtb world champs stuff on gcn+ (edit, i'm in via vpn and gcn+ (which i pay for)). so lame US can't watch anywhere. flo stuff doesn't start until tomorrow.

Neko got the sickest Bike !

So with that last sentence from Rider Mike, I'm curious to hear... Do folks actually think USAC "Pays" venues to put on national champs? It could not be more the opposite. It costs venues 10's of thousands of dollars, (maybe in the 6 figures when it was combined XC and DH) to meet USAC requirements, pay USAC officials, house all of the staff, and put on a national championships race. On the same vein of polling the group... Does anyone know of even ONE other legit bid that was put in to USAC to host national champs in 23/24? I'm...
