    Complete Guide to Downhill Rubber

    Where do Euromonkies get their favourite Maxxis offerings nowadays? Seems like the DHR2 29" x 2,4" Double Down Maxxterra is vaporware. All my usual onlineshops and local bikeshops don't have them in stock. Not really interested in any other model as it's my prefered rear tire since forever.

    I sure hope so. Always liked him and his approach. As far as I am concerned, he definitely deserves an overall at this point.

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    What a time to be alive. Never thought that the original Felt-6bar ends in different iterations at Scott and Commencal. :nerd: How is working on the damper having to dismount the protection? How's compatibility with other dampers?

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    We didn't. They murdered all of them in the 19th and 20th century. Until the early '00 years that was. Some stupid a$$ politicians thought it would be a good idea to repopulate wolves and bears in an area where almost every square metre is used for tourism or agriculture. Yay government...

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    Well, in our area things got a little moar serious in the last years. Once we didn't have any bears anymore, then they started to repopulate brown bears. Result: Overpopulation and already some human fatalities and some wild stories from joggers, hikers etc. Bears + humans + not enough space =...

    Forbidden Dreadnought...what y'all think?

    There was a certain german suspension tuner that didn't get along with exactly the rebound of his bike. Way too slow, even when wide open. There's a rather long thread in a german forum: https://www.mtb-news.de/forum/t/forbidden-dreadnought-2021.936169/

    Complete Guide to Downhill Rubber

    Actually you are right. Anyhow, not a fan of Schwalbe's offerings. I have ridden the magic Marys for a little bit and had sersious trouble especially with the rear wheel losing grip in corners. At first it was fun to ride a relatively lose rear end until I had to ride in wet conditions. The rear...

    New smartphone: Which one is the least annoying

    I dropped my phone. Again. Although I had a screen cover + a case on it, it broke. Again. Which means it's the second screen I need to install in like four weeks on a approx. 5 year old Huawei. Which is old and slow and... well, you get the idea. So I need a new phone and I have no idea what to...

    Europe Folks...Need advice

    Fassa is awesome. The zone has a lot of steep tech riding and also a few bikeparky trails. People are really enthusiastic in that area, so there are also a lot of non official trails out there. You can get about 45km of trail and 3.500m of descending in one day easily. We're trying to ride the...
