Stan's Introduces New Polar Drip Wax Chain Lube
@mikekazimer: @mikekazimer: Not if you're hot waxing. First, the chain needs to be clean. Second, you need to get all the grease out from inside the chain.

Randoms Round 2: Made Bike Show 2026
@mtb-jeremy: The Fox Alps shocks did NOT like frame misalignment because they did not handle that flex well, and it eventually cracked the shaft. Unfortunately, frames tended to be more misaligned back then. The solution were narrower eyelet bushings which allowed adjusting the alignment using washer, or the nuclear option of having a chromed steel shaft made for it.

Harriet Harnden & Max Alran Win Chaotic 2026 Les Gets DH World Cup
Now that she won the Belted Purse, I kind of want Hattie Harnden to say, "Thank goodness that's over" and go back to using chains.

Check Out: Flexible Flats, Alt Grips, a Geo-Adjust Saddle, & More
The Six Pack reminds me of the Selle San Marco Integra saddle from back in the day. It had the same integrated seat rails. It was a very stiff saddle and wasn't comfortable at all.

White Industries 18T freewheel
$85 USDWhite Industries 18T freewheel. Hasn't been used much. I'm too old and week to turn an 18T and had to step up to a 20T.

Fox's Clever Analysis Tool Expedites Suspension Setup
@cyclotoine: It made absolutely no sense. In a world where every air spring was trying to be "more coil like", they just decided to as far in the opposite direction as possible.

Fox's Clever Analysis Tool Expedites Suspension Setup
@poozank: No. It's not. As I already said, while it's better than the previous VVC flavors, it still doesn't have enough compression damping and it still runs harsh. Most people don't know what a good damper is supposed to feel like, so they don't realize how far away from it they are.
