Review: 7mesh's Cache Anorak & Grit Pants
@Juarez
Glad to hear that someone else is riding the best gear that is currently available on the mtb and gravel market.
My gear.
Skipilot Jacket & Chilco Vest
Slab Short
Glidepath Pants
Elevate and Desperado Shirts
Recently purchased the Cache Anorak and Gryphon Crew and absolutely love these pieces of clothing. I will mention that all these items were bought on sale and have no regretted one day on the mtb or gravel bike. If you ride more that 200 + days a year, it will always be worth it.
Top Class stuff and I will be purchasing 7Mesh for the next couple of years...thanks for the great products, customer service.

Video & Race Recap: Swiss Enduro Series in Laax
Great weather and a great race...always been a fan of Flims Laax. Pretty cool that a stage was done on the Laaxerstöckli..does anyone know how the racers got up there? Did they hike via Vorab or walk up from Grauberg?

Video & Race Recap: Swiss Enduro Series Leukerbad
..the SES is a great race format and the locations are unreal. Its just a shame the our Swiss Enduro guys can't mix it up with the Pro's like Rude, Melamed and co. I still still remember back in the day when Réne Wildhaber used to get great results...seems like the focus is more XC and Women's DH.

Buying a Bike From a Shop Versus Buying Online
@RonSauce - sure, that came out wrong - its sometimes just little things that "on trail" can be frustrating, I think in this day and ago, a little knowledge can go a long way. I mean there's practically millions of videos of how to's...

Buying a Bike From a Shop Versus Buying Online
I have worked in the industry for many years and kinda know it works..I have a good relationship with the local shop and the distribution here in Switzerland..the communication and order process couldnt be better. In the industry and biking in general you can build certain relationships, and alot of friendships..after all its just a hobby.
Been building up my own bikes for years, don't need a shop for that..but purchasing a frame and wheels from the local shop makes things easy and retains the small "business" side friendship...
I have seen it alot times that the guys that order DTC often ask for help adjusting or whatever is thats wrong with their bike - but too proud or cheap to ask the local dealer. If you take the time to establish a certain relationship, business related or not - I am more than 100% sure it always pays out.

Iago Garay Signs with Cannondale & 7mesh
...Great rider and pretty nice guy and its cool seeing someone who not chasing the clock getting a good contract. Also great to see 7Mesh getting more MTBers on board. Iago seems like a perfect fit for them...their gear is the best on the market IMO.
Honestly this news is more exciting than Jesse's and Jack's move - the whole build up on Team Rumours was overrated..
Congrats Iago.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Rob Roskopp on Skateboarding, the Syndicate, & Leaving Santa Cruz
..that was a great interview. Been a fan of Rob and SC Bikes for years and will continue riding there bikes in the future. Wish you all the best Rob in your new adventure...
What always get my teeth grinding in these comment sections is that "changing partnership or ownership" of companies always tend to bring out the worst in people buying bikes or being loyal to a brand. How many of our are "really"affected by SC being owned by PON? Prices went up anyway due to COVID and supply chain issues... If they continue producing great bikes in the same great quality - they have my money. The decisions almost read as if the people have a personal relationship to Rob, in which they don't - so don't forget what you bought a SC bike in the first place, or ride bikes in general. For the fun of it, right?
