    Y U NO LOUSA?!?!

    I'm basing my expectations on previous instances, I'm used to those young Frenchies being more of a IDGAF than all-in-for-the-win.

    Y U NO LOUSA?!?!

    Is it just me or Loris going straight to the pits after the finish was awkward...yeah it's a huge bummer for him no doubt, but he and Loic were always chill, humble and especially sportsmen when losing....this move was not, it was a huge moment for his team mate and friend, I kinda expected him...

    https://www.marinobike.com/ I've seen them around the forum and AFAIR some of the resident monkeys have experience with the company. @HardtailHack if I'm not mistaken?

    Dual tune for CC Double Barrels??

    I might be wrong here, but read somewhere that CS ON chokes both compression and rebound LS circuits, so the oil is forced through the HS circuits only. If you replace the HS adjusters on CS model with the "old" HS/LS adjusters when the CS is ON the oil is forced through the "old" adjusters...

    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    Marketing's wrong with the industry....so you put 6900 ball bearings, call them ROLLER bearings (balls roll, right?!), then give it to Mr. RC: "Technically, roller bearings are the best option for highly loaded, slowly rotating applications - and they take up very little real estate compared...

    Just how long is your....

    5’ 8”, 475mm. on paper, size ML, this frame. I must say initially (end of last season, beginning of current) I felt the difference from previous frame (425mm.) mainly on the climbs, i.e. felt more stretched. Then again the extreme parts of the season are not the best to jump ship and usually...

    Is Trump trying to ban EU as well?

    @binary visions totally forgot about the GDPR, it's been a while since it was the "so hot right now" topic around here, makes sense now. Thanks for the heads-up!

    Is Trump trying to ban EU as well?

    Well, no actually, but that's not an issue in its essence - there's a myriad of proxy/VPN browser extensions, it worked with the first one I tried (Stealthy for Chrome). The interesting part is that this looks like an explicit restriction on the web hosting side for non-US providers, or as is...

    Is Trump trying to ban EU as well?

    Shout out from Bulgaria - for the last few days I get "Error 403 Forbidden" trying to open the forums, only US proxy does the job....what gives? Anyone else EU located having the same issue?

    Moderately interesting stuff for suspension guys

    @Jm_ You really need to test drive the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Not that I have, but if there's one common feature every review points out, it's the handling.

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    I have no idea why I spent my money on this thing. I mean it's got wagon wheels, not a single piece of carbon, just above 32 lbs and a freaking bottle mount! Probably gonna implode under me very soon :D On the plus side half of the rubber has the knobs in the right order and direction, geo is...

    https://www.bird.bike/aeris-am9/ Frames are made in Taiwan (hence the competitive price), very good geo, very little lizard influence, not bad AS and LR....will see how it performs soon, got an ML in blue waiting for some parts to complete.

    Charger damper in RS Yari?

    @Happymtb.fr How was your ordering experience with Novyparts? I ordered a Splug last Thursday and still haven't received any feedback (apart from the auto message generated by the system).

    Frankenbrakes and brake improvement discussion

    Probably your issue was low temperature related as air will cause exactly the opposite. Supposedly Bionol is even thinner than Shimano, so that'd explain the remedy. Still, it's twice as expensive as Shimano (per liter).

    Frankenbrakes and brake improvement discussion

    So I'll jump here from the DOT vs DOT thread since my question is more frankenbrake oil oriented - has anyone replaced their Magura fluid with Shimano oil? Anyone with Formula Cura probably? Any issues? I've got a pair of Shimanos and future upgrade would be either Magura or Formula Cura, so...

    Frankenbrakes and brake improvement discussion

    Found several discussions online that allegedly Magura royal blood is based on Castrol Vitamol V 10, if true it might give some more data for the Mix 'n' Match sheet.
