Sadly, my top tube once in a while reminds me that this should not be a sport a man should engage in.The biking as proof of masculinity fetish escapes me.

Not the reason. I only wear the tightest fitting Rapha lycra when riding....gotta look good, ya know!

You were not supposed to share the pics I DM'd you!
My wife is more core about riding then anyone in this group.The biking as proof of masculinity fetish escapes me.
I always buy a few extra, small items that get dropped in my basement enter a portal to another dimension and it is nice to have a few spares on hand.Seriously, just buy 40 and have a few extras. Of all the things to complain about this seems pretty minor.

Welcome to 2022.So I was looking at a new frame. Just cuz.
It was $3900 just for the frame? Jeebus
Then I found a complete bike with what I assume is the same frame for $3800
WTF?!?!?!
It's not really anything newWelcome to 2022.
There's a good chance that complete bike uses a lower level carbon frame.So I was looking at a new frame. Just cuz.

And just like that, every pressure washing he's done plays through his head... I'll report back when I kill an upper headset bearing in mine. That usually takes me 4+ years (many bikes, avoid mud & rain, frequently wash but with low pressure). It does look like the design could allow water in easier but I tried to seal it with silicone.
There is really no defense of that design.And just like that, every pressure washing he's done plays through his head... I'll report back when I kill an upper headset bearing in mine.

So whats this, the 2nd or 3rd time they've had a major incident with the gondola?Anyone wanna go to MSA? Lol! J/K!
I wonder if the WC will still be there.
And this
Le Massif tries to acquire Mont-Sainte-Anne
Groupe Le Massif is trying to acquire Mont-Sainte-Anne in order to increase its activities and offer an improved four-season Quebec productskitheworld.com
So whats this, the 2nd or 3rd time they've had a major incident with the gondola?
MSA being acquired by someone else might not be a bad thing. I've only been a few times, but it seems like the type of place that, at least for biking, gets by with as little maintenance and money put into the operations as possible.
Le Massif on the other hand has probably invested millions or some big number to summer activities over the last few.
Yes, there has been a very serious incident in February 2020 and a couple of other (minor) failures in the past 2 years or so. People here have been angry for a while at the owner (Resort of the Canadian Rockies - RCR) for neglecting MSA. People feel they are basically milking the cow, sending the $$$ in the west, while doing the bare minimum to keep the resort going. At the same time, millions are being invested by the Club Med at Le Massif.So whats this, the 2nd or 3rd time they've had a major incident with the gondola?

I'd imagine the Venn diagram of people who pressure wash their bikes after every ride to keep them looking pristine and who like Scott bullshit (lockouts, hidden shocks, headset routing) looks pretty close to a single circle.And just like that, every pressure washing he's done plays through his head...

I thought that was a design feature to easily check your headset bearings?
Scott quick-release headtube for integrated cables.I thought that was a design feature to easily check your headset bearings?
I was looking for this video a few months ago. Thank you!I thought that was a design feature to easily check your headset bearings?
I bet if dangerholm comes out with a Scott/Syncros branded line of jorts he will have enough money to finance both his nonsense projects and Paul Aston's ones as well.I'd imagine the Venn diagram of people who pressure wash their bikes after every ride to keep them looking pristine and who like Scott bullshit (lockouts, hidden shocks, headset routing) looks pretty close to a single circle.
I'd agree if this was Santa Cruz. (CC vs C) It's not.There's a good chance that complete bike uses a lower level carbon frame.
Litteraly everybody around here thinks that RCR can just fuck off and go screw up mountain resorts somewhere else...ideally as far away from here as possible.
Well, trunion for one. Giant pivot bolts I assume are made of alu with TINY torx fittings relative to the friction/surface of the bolt:For the technical experts here. What’s wrong with the Gambler? DH forum and all?
It actually does seem pretty well sorted though, I remember riding the old scissor WTF design at Trestle and it was nothing to write home about. The bolt/pivot thing is a pet peeve with many designs. Would bang if it wasn't from Scott.INTEGRATION
Integration is becoming a more important topic at SCOTT as time goes by. We spent a lot of time here looking at previous concepts and asking ourselves if we really wanted to grandfather into the new bike performance compromises due to old standards – we didn’t. Enter our proprietary chain guide / bash guard solution.
I'd love a Gambler. What are you referring to?For the technical experts here. What’s wrong with the Gambler? DH forum and all?
Was just in Breckenridge for 4 days. It's been a while due to covid and whatnot. But since 2 years ago they added a new lift and updated an old one. Both much needed and a good investment. The new one may be a six pack. Not sure, didn't ride it. The other was a slow school fixed double. Now detachable quad. I was impressed.Vail Resorts says hold my beer
You can't have a lift failure if you don't have anyone to turn on the lift
They bought one of our local mountains. Things are different here, land is leased by the NFS so there is no resort or town at the bottom of the hill so it is a haul to get there from anywhere people live. They cut employee access to on site housing, RV parking and other perks. No one wanted to work for shit wages with a sketchy hour commute up a mountain pass for less money than they could make at their local Starbucks. So they didn't have people to plow lots or run lifts. Last few winters they were typically only running 1/3rd of the lifts and people often arrive to find few open parking lots.Was just in Breckenridge for 4 days.

At least here in CO, I have no beef with VR.

On the plus side, they haven't totally fucked it up yet like the Spark and it has a somewhat clean design, but you can tell they are just itching to fuck it all up:
