Opinion: 26 vs 27.5 vs 29-inch Wheels
Ya I'm gonna get on whatever KHS does ,hahahaha No not at all it's gonna be a fail
I'll take traction and proper suspension geometry over a new wheel size
Any one remember 24 inch wheels ??? Where are they now
Hmmmmm makes ya think
I get the bigger size for xc/trail
In dh I don't see the point .

Fabien Barel Leaves Mondraker
Meh sounds like a European problem to me .
American companies have found Fabian a bit hard to work with
That's all I'm goin to say about that
Excellent rider though

Aaron Gwin's Official Statement
Sounds like he's just taking charge of his career so not to get stuck in a bad spot. There is a real ugly side to pro cycling .
I would believe AG over any corporation and especially over a management company. Agents only job is to sell you to companies and broker the the highest salary not what's best for you or your career. Higher salary equals more of a cut for them
I stand behind AG no matter what !!!

Did Gwin Breach His Contract With Trek World Racing?
Im sure specialized threw gwin a retared amount of money that he couldn't pass up. And offered to get him outta a deal and pay for it. It's only a letter of intent nothing major there are mostly used by agents to negotiate contracts. Nothing is binding till there is a contract signed. As already stated gwin has a shelf life and he needs to take care of himself financially while he can .
He's a good guy and awesome rider. But remember riding is his business and business is about making money .
Trek will survive..why
Cause they will offer another guy a retared amount of money to do what gwin just did.
And that rider will except cause its all about money
Realities are all the top bikes are that good now that in a rider of gwins caliber it doesn't matter what name is one the frame
Trek and specialized have been at war for years on the road side and in mtb
This is just fuel on the fire
No company is gonna drop gwin cause he made this move and if they did I'm sure 50 other companies would come running with gear and checks in hand to sponsor him . Being a world champ has its perks
Bottom line
High risk sport
Short career
Maximize profit while you are worth it
Fuck what everyone on the Internet has to say and look out for number one
Cause when you can't ride and win no more the companies don't give a fuck what happens to you

Pinkbike's Burning Question - Should You Support Your Local Bike Shop or Buy Online?
I use my local lbs always. If I see what I want in the store and I tell them what it's worth online usually we come to a agreement on a price that's fair. Then I don't have to wait for my part to show up and I have supported local business
I have owned a bike shop before and the biggest problem is that every kid with no money that walks through the door wants to be treated like a pro rider and get everything for nothing. Then they complain about you on the Internet cause you couldn't give them a 300 dollar helmet for 50 bucks.
Some people don't understand that it cost money to run a business , hydro, rent , insurance most shops cost at least 10k or more per month just to keep the doors open.
The industry revolves around buying power the more you buy the better deal you get
Yes online is cheaper in most cases ,and money don't grow on trees .so buy your gear from wherever makes the most sense to you and your bank account
Me personally I'd rather give my cash to my friends and keep them in a job.
And when you need a part Sunday morning ASAP so you can ride . It never hurts to have the shop guys cell number
I don't think online shops can offer that
Just go out and ride support our industry in any means that you can
