All

Can I be honest, if I can't just click on one thread and read the entire conversation, I probably won't read the forum at all. I find this thread pulls me in and then when I have more time or I'm curious, I check out other threads. But without this main one, I wouldn't bother visiting vital. Wish it were different but I hope I'm at least helping by giving voice to some other people out there. I enjoy catching up on 6 pages of inane comments to find a nugget of cool rumors. Others might be different.

People lose jobs, investors taking a bath, people ordering bikes that never arrive, riders without a team etc the audacity to call people keyboard warriors is wild lmao. YT literally FUCKED OVER countless people but sure, call us keyboard warriors.

It relates to 6-bar and 7-bar link suspensions, sixfinity and sevenfinity for example.

He does, but he also talks a lot of shit, and is famously a massive nit-picker at race venues and complains a lot. So what goes around comes around really. People in scene aren't vindictive, but you can only tolerate a whinging pom so much, ya know? Still waiting for the Hardline BC announcement to come, wonder when that will be and what teams will be going

I miss when people used to draw silly little drawings of things. They were fun and whimsical and now its like "oh, a computer made that with no effort" and it takes the fun out of the photos.

I love it and hate it. Always good for a laugh. Love it when people act like it’s going to destroy the planet, as though the capitalist system it grew out of was doing great things…

AI is gay

I think it might be the use of AI. A lot of people hate it, me included.

They don’t need a donation pool because the players already demanded one be created… NBA players receive between 49% and 51% of the league's "basketball-related income" (BRI). This percentage is guaranteed by the collective bargaining agreement and covers revenues from sources like TV deals, ticket sales, and merchandise. They also get comprehensive medical insurance funded by the league and players association for themselves and their families, both while they’re active in the league and after they retire. None of this was given freely to the athletes. These were demanded and fought for by the athletes through the players association and...

Well that math doesn't instill much confidence. 37mm must round up to 40mm...

Every shop rents DH wheels these days!

I'm tired of Cathros childish schtick at this stage. He has always done great analysis but all those stupid cutaway segments just seem foolish and boring. The dude is 37 now. It's a bit pathetic but I guess he does whatever Pinkbike tells him to do He'd be great commentating on races as the current crew seem to have difficulty spotting which riders are on different lines

I don't see a need for rear suspension on a gravel bike. At that point just get a mtn bike. I like my gravel bike for quick rides on mellow terrain or mixed terrain. It a different kind of work out more like road bike as far as cadence than a mtn bike.

No issues with waterproofing in mechanical systems. Odd how mechanical is still more precise, faster, and cheaper than electric but everyone needs “new tech.”

That’s all fake and not worth re posting here.
