Somehow lost the conical washer from my rear axle to my GG. New one inbound from MRP for a few dollaroos instead of being forced to buy a whole new axle.
This is what's right with The Industry®
- Thread starter Jm_
- Start date
CK announced that they're going back to making 6 bolt disc hubs again. They must have realized that nobody is buying their shit.
I'm not sure if "this is what's right" or "this is what nobody cares about".

MRP conical washer arrived and installed. My Smashed Rid Egg is whole again.
Hayes customer service is what’s right. I could not find a source for their olive and pin for the Dominions so contacted them. In 3 day I received a bag of small goods FOC. Hats off to them!
I read on one of the announcements it was because of COVID supply chain issues they had to temporarily consolidate.
Yea some companies make them down to like 120
I'm sure there is fine print and whatever, but thisnis good.
I bought a Ripmo used, gouged a rear triangle in a crash (did not break) and cracked a carbon rim when a stick took out a bunch of spokes and pulled one nipple through the rim. As a second user they had no obligation to support me at all but replaced the rear triangle for free and replaced the rim for the cost of an aluminum one. Good people, great support.
Good article and Trotter's tip about using a door frame to bead a stubborn tyre is definitely something I'm gonna try. I have PTSD and hearing loss from trying to force a tyre to bead by over-inflating it.
Adam is such a good dude, aka Dr. Smooth back in our downhill race days 20+ years ago! we old now
speaking of old (you whippersnapper), found my old race results (dot matrix printout); my first race was the can-am dh on blackcomb - in 1989 (!). course was from the roundhouse to the base, and to get up there i raced the hillclimb. so yeah - full rigid, cantis, spinning out a 48t ring down the access road in lycra... but i digress (from my rocking chair)
you've got me beat, old man. I think mine was 94/95 some barely a hill in southern ontario....but also fully rigid with canti's!
damn. i was an early adopter & had the rockshox RS-1's soon after release (1990, i think). but yeah, thems were the days. cool to have witnessed the growth of the sport from it's (near) infancy. being at ground zero for the birth of the phenomenon that was the north shore was rad as well.
Fully rigid is mental. I had a Quadra 21R in 94/95 and got a first release Z1 bomber in 1996 which I did my first DH race on. The bike was a joke but damn I wish I still had that fork for a wall piece.
Enduro-packing is what's right with the industry! 
Helping lonely people to get together and fine tunning the numbers of possible categories within mountain biking.

Matthew Fairbrother is such a badass!.
Palmdale Grips
Our Palmdale grips were inspired by Afroman’s hit single - Palmdale. Afroman is currently being sued by the Ohio police after he used security camera footage at his home of their armed raid of his home to make a music video (Lemon Pound Cake), so from April 1st through 4/20 we will donate $4.20...

That right there is the meaning of Grit.
He might not get on the podium, but he will be one of the winners.
Well despite overpriced stuff and subscription plans, Garmin is replacing my Inreach Mini that turns off after a few minutes or seconds, regardless of charge. So that's nice. I have to wonder if it's the use in cold weather that kills the battery/device...but then again, it's an outdoor piece that should be intended for that environment (meaning that Li Ion is dumb). Makes me feel better about the Garmin Catalyst I just bought for auto racing tho.
Matt Beer's articles on PB are awesome. Not clickbaity or some contrived controversial shite. Just good info. He's a mint addition to their team
Doesn't hurt that he's by far the best rider on the PB staff and maybe the best in this kind of journalism.
2015 National Champ. He's no slouch on the bike.

4. Kirk McDowell (BC) Dunbar Cycles 3:47.15
5. Philippe Ricard (QC) Equipe du Quebec/Lama Cycles 3:47.34
He's also a newfie, so he must be pretty genuine, eh?
I remember watching a video of Trespasser and everyone on the ride was going around this gnarly rock roll. Then here comes buddy and sends it down the optional line on the already sketch section. At the bottom the camera pans over and you realize it's Matt, ah yup makes sense. He wasn't even phased, made it look super easy.

Did stevie flat or what? Stevie was definitely on a different level despite that podium.

The comments here say he crashed:
I like him though I'd like to see him also review deep mud tires.
Also some people in the comments mentioned WTB something. Anyone has any experience with their mud tire?
Not industry but a user submission to PB they put on the front page
Cool article, hope the writer does some more.

seems like the cat's out of the bag on that conspiracy theorie: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/frameworks-racing-and-cotic-collaborate-on-a-steel-dh-frame.html
that's a pretty hawt looking bike. would have loved to see Neko riding it at the first WC. maybe one of his protegés will?
Not a steel frame. Only 1/2 steel. Other half is the devil CF.
CamelBak just agreed to replace my 2+ year old Chase vest after the zipper broke. Pretty happy with that
That's pretty sweet, it's still weird to see Cotic make decent geo bikes. They clung to old school geo almost like Salsa and Lynskey.
