I'd hardly say the hardline thing was the nail in the coffin. If anything that was more so 'cringe' and just tasty troll bait for poking fun at him, for both fans and fellow riders alike. And it would be easy enough for him to roll with the punches. The nail in the coffin for me came a while ago, and I'm still blown away how it all worked out and is overlooked by this point 🤦‍♂️

Spotted over on Pinkbike -- Ronan Dunne running his tuned mass damper in a novel location. (More like a tuned ass damper, am I right? Sorry, I'll see myself out.)

I think you have over thought it and the bk sport thing. I'm pretty sure it was just a merch opportunity off the back of his YouTube channel success and popularity. From the conversations going on in other threads on this site and others it seems like that may be on the decline so I doubt he could count on that. I know for one I wouldn't walk about with a t-shirt with his name on it.

Did you also complain when Sam Hill was taking every inside line imaginable that he wasn't riding the course as intended? Such a killjoy. Your making out like watching Skiers tackle The Streif isn't one of the coolest things ever, which it most certainly is.

Or the fact that he's less out of breath, despite riding one of the gnarliest dh tracks while talking the entire time, than most people are walking to the end of the driveway and back.

The rules for DH are almost as simple as saying that whoever rides a bike from the top to the bottom fastest while staying in the track limits wins, and I love it. Any type of hyper specific equipment rules like those in road racing or ski racing just limits the innovation that's required to be the fastest. If somebody wants to wear ankle weights or put oobleck in their tires because they think it's better, then they should let them. Let the fastest rider win. Shake weight in the steerer tube? Sure. Hamster bottle for the rear brake? Have...

The question is why is the fuel now a freeride bike? (Almost) Started out as an XC bike right? Not complaining but it is weird.

Big fan of the Osprey Raptor 14 here.

It's really nice to be in a place where newer bikes aren't necessarily better, and we're not sure of the obvious path to take to make a bike better. Not good for brands, but certainly good for us.

I just torque my headset cap to 50Nm.

It fits in the headtube of your fork, so it increases the stiffness 🙏

This is so funny to read if you haven’t been paying attention to headset routing the last couple years. Imagine reading “Ford updated the F150 to include power windows”

king crab link?

Watching Tahnee pull the little diaper off as if anyone cared was pretty funny

Now you can have two shocks setup completely wrongly.

While the name is kinda on point, it could be worse, like "Ransom."

BK will be devastated he can't tow anyone into it. How will he survive?
