    Who out there is still making 27.5 enduro bikes

    I broke my repaired Giant again and I'm looking for something new. I experimented with 29" wheels like a girl in college, and now I'm looking to have actual fun by going back to smaller wheels. Who's still making 160-180mm travel range enduro bikes with 27.5 wheels? So far the pickings seem...

    Bashguard condoms for OneUp

    Does anybody make any bashguard condoms for oneup bashguards? I like to keep things pretty and I don't want to mess up the plastic.

    Roost Protectors

    Do they work well as chest protection on MTB's? As I get older I find recovery time takes me longer, and a full face and knee pads isn't as great a combo as it used to be. I'd thought that they were mainly for moto and protecting from the rocks that get kicked up, but I see a lot of people...

    Boxxer Coil Hydraulic lockout

    I just picked up a used (advertised 2013, no idea if accurate) DHR for my wife to try her hand at downhill bikes and I'm giving it a once over to get it up and running for her. I'm having some issues with the fork though, and since I have the memory of a goldfish and it's been awhile since I...

    Formula Cura + Shifter Mount options for small hands

    I've gotten my wife hooked on mountain biking and we're starting to ride some rowdier trails now that we've gone through a job change and she has less time on call and we've moved back out west to Seattle. She's also starting to notice the finer details of cockpit ergonomics, and the current...

    Bontrager Rally MIPS Blendr Mount

    Has anybody used this thing? My wife and I are going to be doing some night riding and I seem to have lost one of them, and Trek is out of them. Is it worth waiting and putting one on backorder, or should I just go the traditional route and use some sticky adhesive type helmet gopro mount?

    Asheville and Pisgah

    In a week I'm moving away from Texas, so I'm looking at mountain bikes again. I haven't had one in 4 years, and am pretty sure I'm a pretty solid candidate for "washed up downhiller" Fortunately my wife and I are moving somewhere with cool biking apparently, and I'm going to be about 40...

    Trek's new Helmet tech

    Any thoughts on it? Seems like a solid way of taking the main point of mips and improving on it, anybody planning on getting one?

    British DH world champs team

    Looks like Brendog missed the cut again, but even bigger, is this the first year Gee hasn't been sent since he started? Crazy to think a multiple DH world champ didn't make the cut. 2018 British World Champs DH Team Elite Men Phil Atwill Adam Brayton Laurie Greenland Danny Hart Mike Jones...

    Geometry question for the people who ride multiple types of bikes

    With a lot of bike geo nerds here, I was thinking about the spillover effect that downhill bikes are having on mountain bikes, and wondering if that's going to eventually transfer over to road bikes. Figured I'd post this in the DH forum in part because everybody who's given this some thought...

    Pedal weight question

    I'm looking for a thin light weight platform pedal. Strength and durability aren't as much of a concern as weight. I haven't been keeping up with pedals for awhile, and it seems like there are 80 million options out there these days. Anybody have any recommendations?

    Anybody else pumped about Losinj WC

    The videos are starting to pop up, or maybe I'm missing the earlier ones. Looks like an epic trail for a world cup downhill. Straight lining rock gardens, lots of stupid rock walls to catch a handlebar on, generally flat terrain, and an awesome uphill finish on paved roads. I bet its going...

    Another Strava thread

    Thanks boys. I appreciate your hard work in posting KOMS and ensuring semi legal and illegal trails get shut down. http://www.tetongravity.com/story/gear-tech/strava-speeds-help-mountain-bikers-get-banned-from-california-park

    Sea Otter

    Not that anybody cares that much about sea otter these days, but Ern Gwern just won it. I think this year is going to be an awesome year for gwin fans and a boring year for everybody else.

    Looking for ride advice

    I just moved out to the PacNorthwest in Langley, British Columbia, and I'm wondering if anybody on these boards has any advice for good places to go ride. I'm going to be here for a year, so I'm hoping to get a nice sampling of some fun trails, but sadly I don't know anybody in the area for a...

    Freeride Dirtbikes

    I know its not strictly DH, in fact its a hucker video of people on MX bikes, but its still rad and I still recommend watching it. http://www.vitalmtb.com/videos/member/If-the-Collective-had-Motors-Freeride-MOTO-Blasting-Near-Kamloops,24253/sspomer,2
