I tried one of their rings early on. Didn't hold the chain for shit. Wolftooth and SRAM stock for me!

this probably belongs here, what an ugly pile...best comment was 'looks like concrete'
There is a company in town the 3D prints rocket engine parts from Ti, they are highly detailed jewels.
That stem is an unnecessarily expensive turd.....

Is it pagani who 3d prints ti exhaust systems? Those are jewelry as well. That stem is NOT.
Shimano and their fucking number system.
"I'm eager to ride CUES (U4000 & U6000), and even more eager to ride Deore M5130, but at this time my only LinkGlide experience is with XT M8130"
"CUES U6000 replaces Deore 10/11-speed HG and Deore 11-speed LG is going to murder the sale of Shimano's M5100 12-speed HG+ group."
What the FUCK did he just say?

Going to throw this in here tbh.
Riders want safer venues, better prize money etc, e.g. track walk they'll point out trees which should have padding on them.
Then they're willing to race the urban DH courses. Video title is clickbait, but there's not much safe about these courses.

to be fair, the crossover between urban dh racers and wc dh racers is pretty minimal...
Golf gloves better than dedicated mtb gloves?
I couldn't believe it. The feel, the traction, the second skin fit. No snot cloth tho. Guess I have my shirt for that
I saw a pic of racer on a pump track competition. And noticed his gloves said FJ. Which is golf. And white. Another giveaway. I play golf, I could use some "rain gloves" Totally happy with this investment.
Sweet Ass Gloves

golf...
Actually, depending on which gloves you put them against, the golf gloves are cheaper. Some TLD gloves are more expensive, some are cheaper, for example.
HAHA! I know right? I have to laugh at myself for that. But the wife loves it, so happy wife, happy life. Plus the daughter is really good at it and she's only 8.
I didn't start the trend. The kid at the super fancy pump track race on Redbull TV started it.
I see what you did there, and you really should be given a back-hand slap.
He made a typo, or brainz just give up with shimano nomeclature.
Right now there are 3 tier of deore level groups for sale, m4100 and m5100 (10 and 11 speed) will be replaced with cues U6000. And then he thougts that m6100 is about to get killed by the 11 speed deore lynkglide? Wich doesnt even exists per se (m5130 is 10s, m8130 is eleven, of course you can mix and match between them and with CUES so... But still, that rear derailleur is short cage, limited to 43t cog as per shimano)
But it was a good read anyway.
Hey man whatever you are into, one of the biggest shredders I know loves golf, we make fun of him for it all the time!HAHA! I know right? I have to laugh at myself for that. But the wife loves it, so happy wife, happy life. Plus the daughter is really good at it and she's only 8.

at least the proprietary stem will be aligned?
Surely that's the price of a whole Maxxis tyre in Garyland?
Just checked, the last Endura glove I bought was in 2018 and they were on special at 18AUD(50% off) from CRC.
The new ones would convert to around 98AUD, which is beyond TLD pricing, I thought Endura was an affordable no nonsense sorta brand?
In Gary'sWorld the only tyres you *need* are 26". And 26" Maxxis minions are still freely available at around £30 a tyre.
The mayor of GaryLand also believes its your own fucking fault if you've now found yourself paying through the nose for stupid 29" diameter mtb tyres.
Also. in GaryLand gloves are viewed as a sign of weakness. As is being a whiney cunt about your own poor choices.
gloves are for when it gets below 40 freedoms. and maybe for dh days so your hands don't get destroyed if you wreck. carry on.
Same for shorts
so what are you (not) wearing when it's 41 and higher eh
Don't think I have had a pair of gloves last more than 10-20 rides in the last 5 years without blowing out the tips of the thumbs and index finger. Pretty much where they would contact any shift/post/brake lever. The last pair was from TLD, looks like they warranty them for 3 years. If they actually stand by that they might as well send me a dozen or so at a time.
I usually end up just cutting off the ends of the thumbs and index fingers. At least that makes using a phone easy.

The same seems to apply to work gloves.
