    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    The fallacy lies in the assumption an AI is somehow better than humans at picking stuff, when in reality it's heavily dependent on the data it was fed on (usually, too little because preselection takes time and model refining means moar money), the selection criteria (and therefore, the bias)...

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    I had to completely dismantle the rear suspension and BB/cranks of my Polygon Siskiu to chase an annoying clicking sound. After replacing ALL the bearings in the rear triangle/link/BB/pedals*, the clicking didn't stop. The funny thing is it eventually disappeared, about two weeks after the...

    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    Road and gravel groupsets need the central battery because of the two derailleurs. the MTB version won't have it. The shifter and rear derailleur will have separate batteries. EDIT: obviously the ebike version of XTR/XT/Deore rear derailleur will be wired, to the main battery.

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    Last Saturday we ran into a group of runners in our local trails. Out of maybe 8 people, 5 had a Bluetooth speaker in their fanny pack. All blasting different music. Talk about noise pollution.

    Bielsko Biała/Szczyrk WC 2024 Race for the golden pierogi.

    Tell me about it. We have an idiot who thinks he is "the ultimate example of freedom" in the presidential chair, and has cut all welfare programs, sunk half the population into poverty, and closed a lot of small town government offices, effectively cutting a lot of the population from basic...

    You kidding me? I already have a Max subscription, I could have perfectly watched the races via the app.

    Bielsko Biała/Szczyrk WC 2024 Race for the golden pierogi.

    Re: PPV schemas and if they're worth paying. I don't get why the UCI/Discovery decided to hand the viewing rights/means to an obscure app here in Argentina and so many other countries while including them in Max in the US and many other markets. The logical move would have been going the...

    Why can't you just leave the screw holes empty? Genuine question, I'm not doubting on your statement, I'm just puzzled on how could Fox do something so stupid...

    Nah, the Hotrock was a 16" wheel bike, the Voltage Jr was a 20" one. Now he's on a 24" Zenith (local brand) and next week he'll jump to a 26" Voltage with StrongWheels™ as @jackalope likes to call them :rockout:.

    Bielsko Biała/Szczyrk WC 2024 Race for the golden pierogi.

    I just watched a little bit of the race since I was at my son's basketball game, and all I have to say is the Spanish commentary made as much sense as a couple of street sweepers describing a curling game.

    Why do most brands make chainstays in kids bikes longer than their adult 29ers? My son wanted to learn to manual his Specialized Hotrock and it was a royal PITA. He only mastered it after we switched that bike for a Scott Voltage Jr.

    Bielsko Biała/Szczyrk WC 2024 Race for the golden pierogi.

    I just the first view of that track, I have to say it's a pretty good one! Steep, loose, and not overly rocky.

    What trail bike tire casings don't suck?

    Same same, but sticking with Minion DHFs. And for trail riding, maybe Specialized Butchers in Grid Trail T9 front, T7 rear. I'll stick with directional tire patterns and pass on the knob vomit bandwagon.
