    If I recall correctly Gwin said that Worlds was his target this year.

    Videos (and pics) that don't suck

    https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5qgqQMJke-/?igsh=bnd4aHluem1tZW4y Friend of mine has a small team I help out with (WCNB on insta). National DH series is back for 2024 and for our 11 year old it was her first plane ride, first trip to the national capital region and she did pretty well. The...

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    Philippines. My office is beside the sea so at least I get a nice breeze when I step outside. When classes were cancelled around midday (wth!) last week some kids made their way to the beach. We're a bit more fortunate here, can't imagine what it would be like in highly urbanized places like...

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    We are scorching here. Heat index in the 39 to 42 Celcius in my province. Humid too. Authorities were cancelling classes last week as public schools don't have air conditioning.

    I think that they're a couple. Remember seeing it somewhere, on Insta maybe. They're both consenting adults so they can do as they please but I don't think it's proper for so many reasons.

    Hope the Ridenow TPU tubes are good . I put Ridenow and ZTTO TPU mtb tubes in my Lazada cart (likely same sellers as Aliexpress) after seeing this thread. About $5 and $6 respectively. Plus 1 something to 2 something dollars for shipping.

    Haha. ZTTO sell affordable headsets and dropper post levers as I recall (and a lot of other stuff). Gets more people out on the road or trails. Saw whole families or groups of women riding during the pandemic. Not so much nowadays.

    Cheers for the replies. Yeah, personal choice. Had some Sunlines years ago probably were a bit too thick. Hoarded a few sets of Shimano single-clamp ones that cost about 15 in US dollars if I recall and still have a set on my bike. Back on topic, friend of mine liked the Brendog deathgrip...

    What's the Best Mineral Oil?

    Fastest serious reply too by @englertracing! I've only been here since 2018 but usually questions are met with snark, more snark, reference to an abundance of shims, root beer, Makita branded tools, lizard memes, then finally some semblance of a proper response.

    I remember an interview somewhere re: world cup 2024 where Wyn says get rid of the semifinals and replace the commentary team.

    This is what's right with The Industry®

    Well, to this day you read comments from people who claim that inconsistent bite point isn't real and just user error.

    DNM Burner, the cheap shock odyssey

    @Leafy has your Rux exploded yet? I thought of sending your video to Darren Salsbury (co-owner of USUL Corp who carry SR Suntour in NA, he's sprockets on pinkbike) as I have been communicating with him for years regarding my awesome unrideable forks to see what he thought of your video and if...

    That Vinny T is a mad man. Not really into the whole thing though. I'm just hoping everyone makes it through safely.

    Didn't bother to check but is that female elite rider Jess Blewitt racing Hardline?

    hardline time

    I know it may be unpopular here, except perhaps with Avy, but I like Gwin's race vlogs. He does course previews and Dak is featured too. Neko's youtube channel is pretty good. I think I've watched all or almost all episodes of the Frameworks project.

    UCI / Discovery channel

    I don't know on what stuff, but being human and given that things change he could certainly be wrong again. On another note he also said he represents around 18 XCO teams and is some sort of liaison for them to the ESO. What did Bernard say re: small finals? I don't know if I'd have time to...
