    Want to quickly check if your suspension will be active under braking? In stationary position, jump on your bike and bounce up and down on your rear end without touching the brakes. Take note on how plush and active your rear end is. Now lock both front and rear brakes and bounce up and down...

    Diablo Negligence WTF????

    If Anthem is not a listed trail and OP assumed it was open because Tempest was, then OP was negligent. Assumptions doesn't only make an ass of U and me, assumptions kill a lot of people too.

    Diablo Negligence WTF????

    OP says it's listed OPEN, Diablo says it's marked closed. So who's telling the truth here? Is Anthem listed separately? Or did the OP assume it's open because tempest was?

    Diablo Negligence WTF????

    A responsible ski/mtn resort operator must do sweeps before every opening each day they are open, just like what they do at Whistler. Trails or runs must not be declared OPEN unless it's been properly swept and cleared of any unexpected and potential dangers (relatively speaking). Unless...

    Knee/Shin Protection

    I crashed hard last year on a rock quarry trail and my knee hit the sharp end of a jagged rock pretty hard. I was wearing the 661 D3O pad and I know I hit a sharp edge cause I felt it and had a narrow bruising. If I was wearing a knee pad with hard plastic shell I'm pretty sure I would not have...

    Repair stands

    I've owned my Parktool PCS-1 now for nearly a decade. I've tried wrench force before and other tripod styles, but I keep tripping on the legs that's why I didn't like em.

    M9 ride reports?

    I'm 5'7", 140 lbs, ride a small M9. Fits perfect, actually feels more like a medium tbh. I tried a buddy's medium Kona Operator and the Kona felt small for whatever reason.

    RaceFace closing?

    Careful what you boys believe. These may be coming from disgruntled ex-employees. Mr. Pollack needs to tell his side of story, which he's probably trying to figure out that's why he declined to comment.

    Ghetto tubeless conversion DIY: tips and tricks

    I used to do this about 8 years ago. I used slime tire sealant before. The hardest part was getting the beads to seal. Once working in my patio I was trying to get the bead to seal so I was using my floor pump and pumping fast and hard without looking at the pressure, then BOOM, a loud bang and...

    Goggles with glasses

    They don't slide off unless you are getting the old hard contact lenses. I use daily disposables soft contact lenses and never had a problem wearing contacts while riding. I only wear contacts when going for a ride though.
