I stand corrected, thanks. Down here the line between gravelers and roadies tend to blur.That's not a roadbike son
Gravel hipsters are "apparently" a very thirsty bunch
No question, gravel riding is road riding, you ride in peletons drafting, water bottles, etc. It only gets hilarious when I'm behind them on my 22lb fatbike in the draft and then we get to a chunky DH and I'm just gone. I try to cut the corners into the loose gravel to get them to either follow (crash) or leave the draft. Worst situation is when someone is following me and I'm out front. I can't get above like 15mph or so because of wind drag. As compared to cross racing, the fatbike (with 3.8 tires) isn't that sucky in gravel, especially chunky gravel. In cross racing, it's real sucky. They keep telling me I should buy a gravel bike (for the 4 races we have, wtf?). Sure. When I stop getting top 10 on a freaking fatbike.

I saw your girl on the Grammys last night. Little thicker, and very shiny, but she looked pretty good.
The hips don’t lie
paying money to ride your bike amidst a group of racerbois is what's wrong
But we had beer, live music, lots of abandoned appliances on the side of the road, spitting distance of Crazy Sarah...
Fuck this shit! Seriously. That's like thinking about sex when you can actually enjoy it. No, no and no.
now these dirty mountainbikers can finally ride in stylethis will go great with a $4k yeti frame

Bingo. I don't want to spend time assessing whether the shop rat I'm talking to knows more than me or not. There are some really knowledgeable people out there, and there are some duds. It's not possible to tell which is which just because they work at a shop.The heck is this all about?
Direct Sale Brand Ribble Launches Live Video Shopping Service - Pinkbike
Ribble claims that it will allow you to “enjoy the benefits of going in-store from the comfort of your own home”.m.pinkbike.com
Like some of the comments say, one of the great things about shopping online is that I don't have to waste time talking to someone.
That was ...
Only watched a minute or two.Yeah, if gravel bikes are the answer I don't want to know the question.That was ...
I don't know about you guys but in my eyes testing downhill/enduro brakes on a fully rigid mtb is what's wrong with the industry.
Andrew Major back at it again.

Breaking your home made carbon bar on a small drop trying to impress a 12 year old and then asking "how did I just crash, surely it's not the fault of the hybrid steel/carbon bars I made myself" .
It might not be what's wrong with the industry on a whole, but Pete Verdones inability to accept that his bike broke due to his poor design and riding skills is hilarious.

That guy gets bizarre at times.
4% faster on the climbs than the Shout.this is... interesting:
That's neither long enough, low enough nor slack enough. 2/10 would not Enduro.this is... interesting:
I don't know about calling that spot "full enduro", or classifying any of those "chutes" as having a real drop. I grew up at the bottom of that hill, and was riding down those on sketchy 90s hardtails. Props to him for trying out his crazy ideas though.
that looks . . . awful
I greatly enjoy reading his site, some seriously mad-scientist stuff going on there. Definitely wouldn't ride any of it, but glad he does.
Side note: that is the weirdest rim failure I have ever seen. Not even sure how it gets bent outwards from the inside.
Cause of failure is obvious: shitty carbon tube in the handlebar, excessive porosity induces stress concentration and fracture propagates from there, possibly fatigue mechanism.
His proposed inspection method will not detect porosity, he needs to talk to an actual NDI tech.
Yo, so honest question...how many of us are "overbiked"? It's certainly nice to have a serious bike that can handle aggressive downhills, but how many times are those present, and how often could you be 90% as fast on a lighter and simpler bike?
I wish they had added an enduro bike to the same trail in order to see comparable speed...but then again, horses for courses. I know that folks out west grind up dirt roads so they can get multiple mile-long descents. Just because my trails suxx0rz, doesn't mean theirs does.
