Win It Wednesday presented by Marzocchi



Marzocchi Bomber Air Details:

Featuring a purpose-built asymmetrical shock reservoir, the Bomber Air gives a better fit in more frames and easy access to the compression adjuster. Available in a huge range of sizes, from little dirt jump and short-travel trail bikes all the way up to Rampage-ready DH steeds.

Marzocchi Z1 Details:

We designed the Bomber Z1 for riders ready to get rowdy. Silky smooth travel with the traction and stiffness where it matters. It’s not about counting seconds or fiddling with settings at the top of the enduro course. It’s pointing your bike down the line with the confidence that your suspension has your back. Bikes are fun. And so is the Bomber Z1.

Value: $479 USD (Bomber Air) / $729 USD (Z1)

 Yes, usually its a middle-aged mom with 30 fake accounts that wins.

 Has this question ever been asked before? (yes, every win-it-wednesday)

I won the crankbrothers mallet speedlace classic shoes, for what it's worth.

 I feel like there should be some kind of engagement threshold required for these kinds of contests. Nothing insane, but something like 1 of the following:
- Did you make 5 comments on the website in the last 5 years?
- Did you sell something on buy-and-sell... ever?
Have you uploaded a single photo or video related to mountain biking (that is not something you pulled from someone else's content?)
- Does your linked trailforks account have any activity?

 @jayacheess: You realize this is just paid email list faming right? The prizes get won, the odds are shit, and the companies get a shitload of email addresses for the marketing emails. They're not going to make it harder for the companies to farm emails. Just the way the machine works buddy.

 @islandforlife: There's always room to advocate for change.

 @jayacheess: Fine with change, they just won't bother limiting the value to advertisers for a revenue generating item.
  • 1 0
 @jayacheess: Per the contest T&C they do need to respond via email within 3 days of being notified of their win.

"In order to be verified the as the Winner, the selected entrant must respond to the prize notification email or Pinkbike message within three (3) days of transmission, confirming that he/she:
• (i) has read, understands and complies with the Official Rules;
• (ii) releases and discharges the Sponsor; and
• (iii) consents to the announcement of the Winner’s name and the use by or on behalf of the Sponsor of the Winner’s name and/or photograph and/or video for advertising and promotional purposes, without any further compensation to the Winner."

 @islandforlife: Actually, as someone who runs a small manufacturing company myself you have to be very careful about curating your emails. Most major CRMs and Email marketing platforms have very strict hard bounce and spam report thresholds before they blacklist your domain. Not an issue for scammers, but a company like SRAM or Fox is almost assuredly using a service like Kickbox or ZeroBounce to pre-screen emails to prevent this from happening and those cost money per address to process.

 @cueTIP: As a Director of Marketing myself... these kinds of things are great for getting a bunch of pretty well qualified farm lists that can be cleaned later on. Cheap and easy.
  • 1 0
 @islandforlife: Yeah, but as a director of marketing you would presumably be OK with adding a layer of screening to prevent excess post-processing of the contact list. If you aren't you're probably the only one I have talked that isn't.
  • 3 0
 @cueTIP: Oh ya, but it's all about the numbers first... we figure out the rest later. If I worked in the MTB industry, I'd for sure do one of these once a year for sure.

 @jayacheess: Have always been wondering, what's the point of uploading activities on Trailforks? I use it as a map tool and that's it. But why would one upload activities other than to take part in the occasional prize draw?

 @iduckett: Please tell us, how did you do it? Is it in the click? Long press and hold, then release?

I've entered in drawings on Pinkbike for 10 years and haven't won a thing! Glad to hear someone is getting this cool stuff.

 @vinay: I upload to trailforks for a few reasons.

1. They have good, easy to understand, well broken down stats. I enjoy seeing them, and keeping track of my riding vs pervious years etc. But most importantly, it tracks my moving hours which I use for maintenance purposes, especially suspension. The stats I care about are more simple, well laid out and easier to access than Strava.

2. I like to review my tracked routes and where I went/ended up. Useful for when you took an usual routes or an unmarked fork in trail... and exploring. Much better than Strava as it overlays it on actual trailforks trails/trail zones.

3. Useful again for getting back to certain trails or unmarked explored areas.

 @bmar: Man, I clicked, got the submitted to contest message, and went about my life. I don't believe I ever check the box for news and updates about the product. Then one day, I got an email in my main inbox, (not promotions, updates, or anything) from someone with a pinkbike email address. It said "Pinkbike Win It Wednesday Contest // Winner". I had 3 days to respond with all my info for them to send me the shoes. Never thought I'd win one, and I probably will never again Big Grin . It was real cool though, and pushed me over the edge to buy Mallet E LSs that had been sitting in my online cart for months. Hmmmm... FWIW I love the pedals, the shoes are not much different than any other clipless shoe I've had (and I also run flats), but they have a good platform and are comfortable. I also highly prefer the crankbrothers cleats to SPD.

 @islandforlife: Thanks for your response. I've got no experience with Strava so I can only compare it to the software that's bundled with my watch (Suunto). That already keeps track of a lot but not gear as far as I know. Do you get to enter when you replace a chain, cassette sprockets and when you do a fork service? And for those who own multiple mountainbikes, which bike you're on? That'd indeed be nice, though I don't strictly link my maintenance intervals to how much I've ridden. More to the weather conditions actually Wink . As for the overlays, that makes sense too. I could of course export trails in the region and import them in the Suunto software, but importing an actual ride log into Trailforks makes more sense. I'm actually paying for their service (half price) so I could just as well give it a shot someday.

 @vinay: No problem... ya I don't use anything other than Strava and Trailforks so it how I get my hours. No, you can't get specific with parts... but just helps me to know where I am with hours, no specific notifications or anything. I just check it out every once in a while and I'll see I'm nearing 50 or 75 or 100 hours and I'm like "ok, time to service "this" part".

I do have multiple bikes loaded and can choose a bike, so yes, you get stats for each bike.
  • 1 0
 @vinay: Yes with strava you can add all your bikes as well as specific parts like cassettes, brakes, derailleurs, chains, etc. to track mileage. If you're diligent with it can help a lot with determining what needs servicing. You have to make sure to "retire" or delete a component to add a rebuilt or upgraded part. I.E. you can only have one fork. So if you're tracking service intervals, you have to "retire" that one and add a new version of the same fork. Most of my bikes have been tracked entirely on strava, which is helpful for resale if thats a concern. Different ride types can default to different bikes, as well.
  • 2 0
 @iduckett: Thanks, good to know. For a while I've used 2Peak for which I recall I could also enter gear but I think it was primarily complete units (like shoes and a bike) and not individual parts. Consider Trailforks is for such gear-based sports and the people behind it probably understand what goes on a modern bike, I can imagine they'd add it to the platform someday. Some service may be mileage depended like drivetrain parts, but other would be more time dependent like for instance tire sealant. The latter would be a really good one to add. Plus of course the possibility to accept multiple parts for a single bike. I don't think it is too uncommon to swap some parts every now and then during the season depending on the type of ride you'd do, especially if you don't own loads of complete bikes. Trailforks regularly adds features so I can imagine they'd implement this someday. That would indeed be a really good reason to upload ride logs.

 Never won a contest but Enve sent me a free stem for making a good dentist joke when they released their aluminum stem line. Along the line of " A stem every dentist can now buy for their dental assistant".

The fork nobody dreams of buying, but dreams of winning. Clicks enter

 Spent the night at work. It wasn't too bad...slept on the lounge couch and my back hurts a little. Getting hungry and I only have $4.25 left for food after vending machine breakfast. At least coffee is free. Will update later.
  • 3 0
 Very hungry now. I think I'll try to stick it out one more night. It's already dark and the cleanup crew are nice. One of them gave me half an orange.

 Woke up early. Someone left me a sack lunch and a razor as I slept in the lounge for the second night. This time it was more comfortable since I took a long-abandoned winter coat from the rack to use as a pillow. Going to need a shower soon...and laundry. Must persevere!
