Interview: Abby Long, Executive Director of the Kingdom Trail Association

@briceshirbach: "I was told multiple times by KTA that there really were zero specifics given" A sad situation, leading to even more speculation and accusations in all the directions.

MIPS Helmets Take Top 4 Spots in Latest Virginia Tech Rankings

@deoreo: There is a link provided by VT ... https://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/bitstream/handle/10919/83760/Bicycle%20STAR%20Methodology.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y Basically, from what I understand, they give an important value to the rotational velocity (not acceleration) into the rating's calculation. I do agree with most people here, that MIPS may help prevent injuries, but the study is based on football helmet studies : i.e. firmly in place on our head, using chin-strap on an open-face motorcycle-type helmet, hitting the tarmac ... and not a loosely bond helmet on top of hairy heads (well, at least for some of us) hitting dirt and grass.

Video: Red Bull's 'The Honest Truth About Competitive Bans in Enduro MTB' - On Track with Greg Callaghan

Yeah ... IMHO, this is the worst On Track so far for the exact reason you bring. I'm not sure RedBull would be so light-hearted about Rude if there was pics of him drinking from his "friend's" Monster Energy's bottle.

Pinkbike Poll: Does Bike Weight Matter?

@rezrov: Thanks for bringing this vid to our attention. This said, I don't totally agree with your conclusion. Their best rider did perform better with the lighter bike. Also, from the beginning, they concluded that a surplus of 3 kg weight was negligible to adjust suspension spring rates, which I would tend to question considering the long WB and LR of the Pole for example. In the end, the conclusion should be: "Except for Leon (by far, our best rider), this test proves that, with lighter bikes, we are riding with too much air pressure in our suspension (at least on a DH point of view)."

What's the Deal With SRAM's DUB System? More Questions

In fact, product managers were saying: "it doesn't matter, as long as WE don't have to redesign our whole fleet of models. This new dub standard fits within our bike-frames ... excellent." @vernonfelton, you sure SRAM didn't sent you the marketing manager? This guy answered none of your questions ... at least, not in a way an engineer would (aka precise data/answer).
