I run Revgrips and bought a pair of the Wolftooths a couple of days ago. You could run them stock with Revs but there will be a big gap where the collar is so not at all ideal. I think you could clearance the round seat that is supposed to lock onto the bar to make room for the Rev collar but that will require removing quite a bit of material. Definitely a bit disappointing as the Rev and bar end combo could be really good. I have a set of new Oneup Goldstone grips on my workbench and that...

Entire drivetrain industry scared that they already made the best mechanical components years ago and there is little room for improvement. Sandbagging the weight and material preserves the tier structure.

Mavens take massive shit on Saints, in terms of braking power.

First, when you install make sure they're properly secure and can take a lot of force w/out coming out- one of two didn't tighten until I bashed out all of the plastic end of my old ODIs. I'd try out both and see what works for you depending on the issues you have. I do a bit of both but was more actively pressing against them when fatigued towards the bottom of laps and end of the day to compensate reduced grip strength. Dakota mentioned in the last inside line episode that you can use them for more leverage on...

Code haters are just exhausting people. Codes are fine, always will be. Just because a maven exists. Remember, at one point WC downhillers had guides on their bikes. And guides suddenly became the worst brakes of all time the same day codes got released… time is a flat circle

Power of thiccness is a wild marketing line

Downtime mentioned how widespread the breeden bar ends are becoming, with people like Bruni, Pierron and many many others using them. Owning a pair, having recovered from 2 broken hands (left then right) in 3 years, I've found they definitely live up to the hype and really helped with arm pump and security of my weak hands on the bars. The bar ends are a much more interesting innovation than I originally expected, because they significantly change the biomechanics of the upper-body while riding. Stopped by the Orbea pits this weekend and they've cut grips down (pretty sure it was...

cleaning? shoes? dirt dries out, dirt falls off. why make your life difficult?

i'll email you tomorrow at the address associated w/ your account. congrats!!

I’ve gone and won Leogang!! Wondering if any other round winners can tell me how getting the prize works. Does Vital reach out or do I have to reach out to them? I’m bloody stoked!!

btw, first day back at work and had an old geezer already that was interested in the levo 4 rack, but for his gen3 levo. those things will sell…

Tech Rumors and innovation

They aren't stupid, but many top execs in the industries I worked in just don't care about long term. The "let's crush this quarter's numbers and land a massive bonus today because tomorrow, we may not be here" is the name of their game.

Fair point

"emtb can't give me suffering" Spoken like a man that has never run out of battery halfway into a group ride 😁

It's so frustrating that they aren't interested in opening the bike park again. Lots of new trail networks are popping up in upstate NY so the interest in mtb is there, seems like re-establishing the bike park would be a no brainer

This is why European venues have the upper hand through local government subsidising tourism projects. Nobody knew about Loudenvielle 15 years ago, then they put the gondola linking the pretty village by the lake to the ski resort up above and developed a trail network mainly below the snow line. This takes years and a sustained effort to make destinations tourist honeypots.
