Nice work out there, lads. Hats off.

Dude you’re not kidding. every garage in my neighborhood has a couple bikes in it and ZERO people give a shit about how I finally found a Doubledown Aggressor. I’ve even caught a couple of them look at me weird when I’m checking my wife’s e-scooter tires with a digital gauge. Retired Coast Guard neighbor looked me straight in the eyes and said he’d never heard of the Denim Destroyer. Come ON dude now you’re playing games

Rumor has it this also works on a MTB 😂

I still have this site bookmarked “Littermag.”

I am in the process of selling my eeb and back to riding actual bikes exclusively, so decided to share a rant without any goal or much reason. Context: young dad, mid 30s, 25 years riding (first and bigger part of them on BMX street/dirt). Moved closer to Alps last year, got jealous of people passing me on the ups and doing triple of my downs. I patiently test-rode on trails literally dozen of eebs, decided on a mid-power option because it still provided a rather slow climbing speed, so the brain could switch off, get bored and enjoy nature...

Bruni did not race the final at msa

Thicker and they will move away from 203… Mentioned that a couple of pages ago, where the whole 203 vs 200 discussion was going on. Some didn’t believe it back then some still won’t. Will probably trickle down to XTR, XT,… and solve the ridiculous lever throw. Some might even say they brought the new brakes out, knowing that there’s going to be thicker rotors but still have a shit load of the 1.8 ones. But people who talk nonsense like that definitely have never worked in the cycling industry & wear foil hats. And before you‘ll go and buy...

Fresh podcast went up yesterday! We chatted with Jason Richardson, ex-pro BMX racer who has been a sports p sychologists the past 10+ years working with a lot of top cycling athletes. We actually recorded this a month ago, so I'm excited to listen to it again as we covered so many interesting topics about how to change your mindset and set yourself up to produce the outcome you're looking for—whether that is in a racing environment or just life in general. Enjoy!

More deets on new Ochain B1 - https://www.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/chainrings/ochain/r-chainring-sp… TLDR: SRAM has taken over manufacturing and has improved the tolerances and sealing of the system to keep stuff from getting in, increasing service intervals. They’ve also introduced an external travel adjust upgrade kit to convert internally adjustable models. And the new B1 models are only available for SRAM 3/8-bolt cranks and Bosch’s CX5 motor. No more Shimano/Race Face models. I’ve ridden one for almost three months and it has faired way better than any Ochain I’ve had in the past. No creaking, no need to clean it out yet. The elastomers...

Live timing link now includes 2026 season - https://prod.chronorace.be/angular/results.html#/uci/mtb?ll=177739406765

2 possible reasons for this: the longer i2i allows the rate curve for that suspension design to be more linear, or they made room for a 210 shock for the EVO version. My guess is the first given that both the SIDLuxe and Float SL shocks have very progressive air cans.

Really cool video, unclear if it’s Pinkbike or Charlie doing it by himself but It’s awesome to see the impact a World Cup can have on the local scene.

@notthatbryan - crazy story! and yeah, i forgot "syncopy" in the term. the human body is fascinating. re: fantasy, i think we'll keep normal timing after Q2 like last year and will discuss rider values. thanks for the input, everyone.

it was mentioned on a youtube comment that a stage of the cape epic was won on a 32" wheeled bike, so that rules out neko being the first-ever 32 winner.

add me to the list again, I always thought I had just a noisy EP8 motor. turns out it was my fidlock bottle just rattling this whole time after replacing it with a traditional bottle cage. 4 years it took me to figure this out lol what a dumbass.
