6/20/2017 8:33am If you're on base, you have Fantasy Island to the east, and Tucson Mountain Park to the West. For something more technical you can go to Burro Pass in Marana, or 50 Year Trail in Oro Valley (This is my go to ride. There's a section called the Chutes which I hate, but a lot of people love. You can...

6/17/2017 10:42pm I would agree with the shop that 140 is pretty much perfect here. You could check with your friends on how frequently they ride Mount Lemmon, but there's so many trails in town that I have only been up there a couple times. I don't know anything about the Yari fork, but otherwise I'd say the spec on the Remedy...

6/6/2017 3:18pm Kind of a stupid argument, which really actually hurts the point you're trying to make. The fact that DH travel has been set for a while supports the idea that there might be an optimal value. But even if the extra travel isn't an advantage for Greg, 12" is still just a shitty straw man. Anyway, I agree that this...

12/15/2016 11:41am One by one everything predicted by Team Rumors come true, year after year. Yet some people still need to feel like sages and say "They're only rumors".

10/31/2016 11:38am I think Claudio has really good insights on line choices and is able to make observations about nuances in the run with regard to who was faster over a section, and who had mistakes. Rob is a great commentator, and always interesting to listen to, but mainly reacts to split times and more obvious aspects of the run. I'd have...

thedeathstar Added a reply to UCI 2017 Event Schedule - Only 6 DH Races?
6/10/2016 6:40am Can we force the riders to petition against the UCI based on what we as spectators want, not necessarily what they want? I don't think many riders are comfortable shit talking the UCI (eg. Minnaar and the "not a trade team" stuff). You can criticize all you want, but just admit it's for selfish reasons, and may even be contrary...

6/7/2016 11:41am I can only speak for the m530 and xt (m8000 or something is what I think I have), and they're both great options. I'd also agree with what you said about xt only if they're a great deal.
thedeathstar Added a reply to Is Social Media Putting Too Much Pressure on Athletes?
6/3/2016 7:06pm You don't get it. Where in the original intent of the thread do your platitudes about the evils of social media fit? Since that seems to be your reason for screaming at the sky, I would like to point out that the most narcissistic thing going on here is you thinking you are the only one to think many people...
thedeathstar Added a reply to Is Social Media Putting Too Much Pressure on Athletes?
6/3/2016 7:07pm You are both writing on a social media forum, which while certainly vapid depending on what's being said, is neither narcissistic nor self absorbed. What you must have missed in my post, is that I didn't defend social media at all, other than its usefulness as a marketing tool.

6/3/2016 12:05pm You're a clown. You are a dinosaur and your shop is probably a dinosaur too if you don't use social media as a marketing tool. If they're not rhetorical, I can help answer your questions in the same condescending, dichotomous way you asked them. Is it really that pervasive (??? - persuasive?) for the average Joe/Jane? Clearly it is. Leave...

Travel reducer spacers. They are actually offered in 2.5mm steps instead of the 5mm increments shown. So you can have a 230x65, 230x62.5, 230x60, 230x57.5, then step down to 210 chassis options- 210x55, 210x52.5 etc.

How is it that 2.5mm increments can be adjusted on the stroke? I'm not seeing where that's coming from.

You're a clown. There are three US teams up there that have only young US riders.
