    Not only are all those things far too accurate, I now have no rain stuck in my head.

    Water bottle cages

    The problem is the way the bottle cage mounts. Trek and fox are working on a new enduro specific bottle cage mount standard, with 127.5mm cage mounts it will allow enough room to run a suspension bottle cage that will solve all the problems.

    hey . . . look over there . . . it's LEOGANG, mutha fuggers!

    I'm just insanely impressed that 1st go he turned the dials the right way. Brake lever throw out is mtb' version of the USB port to me. Turn it one way and it's wrong, turn it the other way and it's wrong, turn it the way you turned it the first time and get it right.

    finally fort bill

    Whining about the woods really gets to me. So they fucked up. They tried to make a techy wood section and they over stepped the mark. They didn't actually over do it too much - maybe if 20-30 people could have got through there clean instead of maybe 5? It's a hell of a lot better than...

    Lourdes--18d : 22h : 34m

    Loic is being whiney and entitled. The logic that it was easy to know it would rain at 4pm and the race could have started an hour early is suspect. There is a massive difference in being that guy who says "I bet it will rain half way through finals" and actually changing a race schedule. This...

    Lourdes--18d : 22h : 34m

    Are "track factors" a prank? Is this some weird joke that red bull are playing on us? The only other explanation is that it's serious and that just doesn't make sense.

    Pedal assist bike-new trend?

    You put salt and water in a garbage bag, a salt that is only active when it's wet, then blow it up. Sounds brilliant.

    Pedal assist bike-new trend?

    Different continent, common names for plants, about zero chance of me commenting. Back to e-bikes - are we all agreed that Motos are awesome, mountain bikes are awesome, e-bikes are a weird middle ground that has an application for a few people and are mostly stupid?

    Real quick version - Mother Nature doesn't do empty spaces. Roundup is non selective, it takes out what you want to keep as well as what you want to remove. The following season that empty space will grow something (99% of the time), usually that is a fast growing, invasive species. You end up...

    Roundup makes weeds. I wouldn't have half my work if someone didn't choose roundup in the wrong place, at the wrong time and apply it poorly.

    Pedal assist bike-new trend?

    I see how you read it that way. Enduro setup and weed control are two different things. I have been involved in the local club and running races for a long time, my work is mostly environmental weed control. I doubt this is the place to discuss the ways herbicide can be used correctly and how...

    Pedal assist bike-new trend?

    I'm going to buy an e bike. None of the uses I have for it are fun. I would use a moto if I could, petrol or electric. I want to set up a miniature spray rig on a bob trailer and spray the sides of singletrack where my current atv setup won't fit. I want to use it for event set up, mostly for...

    Giant Glory 27,5" - What's not to like?

    Interesting reading on people's thoughts on highly progressive bikes. Something not mentioned, that I have noticed, is the need for really good high speed rebound control/adjustment. I jump like a squid, but if a bike ramps up deep in the travel I struggle with getting kicked on lips if I can't...

    Rim Widths, 2016

    What am I missing? 729's didn't give as nice a tyre profile as a 23mm internal rim, and a 2.35 most brands or 2.5 maxxis is about as big a tyre as I want to run. Same as the last 10+ years. Didn't we do this all before? Sun double wide anyone?
