    I just bought a 2016 Banshee Spitfire, any suggestions or recommendations?

    '13 size L Spitty with 160mm Lyrik and CC DB Air CS with XV can. 26" wheels, lowest BB chip setting w/ 175mm cranks (pedal strikes yes, on occasion). This took the place of a first gen Rune. Don't miss the lost travel of the Rune, but it's heavier. Float CTD on the bike when I got it was turd...

    Not Schladming WC thread

    Thanks hadn't seen those photos yet. Very cool tribute to all winners but esp Stevie. Of course, it's all fine until someone Matti's the section and ends up impaled by some Atherton wood.

    Not Schladming WC thread

    Stoked for the new lines, challenging! Was the "stump art" meant as a Stevie tribute? Couldn't catch what was on them. Cheering for Brayton to have a good result here. Somewhat biased, picked him up for my fantasy DH team to replace Stevie and talk about a wildcard finish... pretty awesome...

    Steve Smith???

    One of my favorite videos of him @ Whistler. Stevie was on fire this year (2012?) at Crankworx. So many good parts of this vid, from the nonchalance of him destroying Schleyer, to the no-hander on the Duane Johnson drop, to entrance to lower A-Line... to the sending of the the last A-line...

    Children of the Cairns 2016

    Checkers or wreckers Brannigan qualified 6th, but his splits are horrible except for 7th at the last split. Musta made up time at the bottom? Strange.

    Children of the Cairns 2016

    The only maths harder than shuttle maths for me is timezones maths. Luckily, I've got a guy to do that for me. Looking at the RedBull site, Saturday's 230pm Aussie time means... Friday night WC DH party. 930pm left coast time.

    Who (the 5uc4 ) is Jeffsy?....

    Anyway, after clicking on that first link, I'm still trying to figure out what Shaun White has to do with this bike. And, for the record, some of my best friends are snowboarders.

    Ridemonkey & Bikemag: Together at Last

    As long as they will be closely following Lapierre's ebike competition development, I see this as a huge win!

    The best bad component you've ever purchased

    Sette Ryde dropper seatpost, circa 2009. + Inexpensive, available in 27.2mm - Cheap, heavy as ****, sloppy, hand lever operation, died after one year. One first in my riding group to have a dropper post. Ironically, after it died, I didn't get another dropper post, but that was primarily as...

    New Lyrik

    Considering that tapered steerer SoloAir Lyriks are dirt cheap right now, this upgrade option is not insignificant, IMO, if you're still in the 26" boat.

    Funn Mamba pedals??

    Another option.... I've been riding the VP VX pedals (VX Adventure Race) on my trail bike with solid results. They make three models with varying platform sizes (the Adventure being the largest), and then a lower end and higher end (Race) model, with weight (minimal) and bearing/etc...
