A couple of friends of mine were on a night ride and came across a deer that was down in the middle of the trail, bit on the neck and bleeding out but not dead yet. They didn't see the mountain lion but it had to have been right there. I'm glad I missed that one.
To be clear, that's me.
That one was a few years ago, but I only really remember Jordi saying he doesn't like trail bikes as slack as the Nicolai that I was riding at the time. I don't think we even talked about my approach to suspension setup at all, I just asked questions about his.
I think I ended up with elbows extra tucked on that bike in part because of the mid-corner rearward weight shifts I had to do as the suspension loaded up - they were easier to time right that way somehow. I don't go full condor like Lee but I don't normally look like that photo you grabbed either.

Yep. It's not that Marys don't work — there are a lot of worse tires out there. And Schwalbe's rubber compounds and casings are pretty good. But those side knobs would...
Yeah, I've broken plenty of wheels in other ways, but I haven't tacoed one in forever.
Carbon wheels have gotten a lot better, and I've overall had a better track record with them durability-wise than aluminum ones in recent years, but everything still breaks if you hit it hard enough.
