I was at Lift Coffee this morning listening to some pro riders playing the "would you rather" game while I was having breakfast. I asked them if I could steal the idea and post it on PB. So, what would your answers be If you were riding Whistler Mountain and you were forced to choose between:
I would definitely have a ride on Joyride course in white spandex suit wearing 5.10's on a gambler with xc pedals. Not sure about the result, but damn, that would be fabulous.
just wanted to complete the list but nevertheless, get clean landings, so you dont need no chain, no shock and the worn out tires may got even more grip than the dirtbike ones, think its harder to stay on those padels^^
Free ride pass and get to ride a friggin fat bike. Yes sign me up. But it has to be a Surly moonlander with its 4.8 Inches of rubbery coolness. No over inflated full suspension fatty. Even spandex would be cool!
Yeah I would rather have no chain so I put keep front brake, but hardly anyone has put that, so I think everyone else thinks take my chain means no chain, when it doesnt it means i'll take my chain over the brake!!
Why is it so bad to not have a front brake? I dirt jump and I only use a rear brake, it's not that bad, in fact it's not bad at all, why is a front brake so much more important than a chain?
I clicked "keep my front brake" as in "I would like to keep my front brake, and I don't mind losing my chain" seems everyone else clicked the other option.
Either the hills in Whistler aren't as steep as I've heard, or the answers to that question need re wording...
Needs re weight I read first choice take my chain and picked it without even reading second option because I would rather have no chain and ride with breaks expecially on a trail you never peddle on anyways and take my chain to me clearly sounds like taking away chain and riding with breakes without reading second option you would never know you made wrong choice and by the % shown after you select your answer most people never read second option eather
I think the people who said they would ride short stem and skinny bars don't realize why we use wide bars with short stems. 600mm bars and a 70mm stem is hard to hold straight on xc trails! Let alone 600mm and 50mm stem! Give me the wide bars and long stem at least I'll be alive at the bottom!
Been riding a very serious course with a fork in an instant-need-of-service-due -to-severe-oil-leakage, but with my brakes on 100% - i had great fun for the entire weekend nevertheless. The fork was a Manitou and even though it was in a bad state, it managed to get me out of several bad situations.
If we have to take into consideration how most people start in Bulgaria, it is this entire list from top to bottom! Of course without the Gambler question
The stem vs bars question reminded me before I knew better put 110 mm stem with wider bars and wondered why I kept going over the bars every other time I hit the brakes. There is a reason Blue Sky Cycling sell these stems for like 95% off ha ha
Would you rather drive 2 hrs to Crankwerks (and 2 hrs back) to watch Joyride and have it cancelled or not gone at all. Easy question...go to Crankwerks!
This particular study was quite engaging and in depth so I estimate it took about 4 months of work with a team of dedicated personnel working around the clock. Probably 6 or 7 figures at least to conduct market research of this degree, pinkbike can afford it though because they are in tight with SRAM and likely the bill was fronted by both SRAM and the UCI in exchange for at least one boost or 27.5+ article per day.
OK but people don't really want new standards, but do see advantages of B+ but not boost What has UCI got to do with is though are they going to ban 26" wheels and flat pedals or something ?
Plus If really want accurate market research would word the questions in a way to get accurate results rather that the way was done here which would produce meaning less data
I am all for change if it is a real improvement, not change that makes everything else obsolete
Two things are strange for me in Whistler. 1. Why all those naked mans??? Thats to gay for me why it only hapens on Whistler. Mans in Whistler like to see naked man??? Or they like to be naked and show everyone their asses??? Thats too gay to be true. 2. Why all that hype about beer??? Beer is a drug... So most of the riders there are drug addict???
but nevertheless, get clean landings, so you dont need no chain, no shock and the worn out tires may got even more grip than the dirtbike ones, think its harder to stay on those padels^^
is it "I keep my front brake" or "Go ahead man, keep my front brake" ... I mean, I guess it's the second option but I'm not sure...
seems everyone else clicked the other option.
Either the hills in Whistler aren't as steep as I've heard, or the answers to that question need re wording...
After staring at it for a while, I think it's supposed to mean "You keep my brake" and "You take my chain".
I saw " I keep my front brake" or "I take my chain"
oh well.
