10 Things I Loved in 2023: Dario DiGiulio
I got a cannibal on the front and a butcher on the rear. Can’t wait to run the cannibal on both ends. Such a good tire. The grip is insane !!!

Greg Minnaar Off Santa Cruz & Reportedly on Norco for 2024
If he is going to Norco I wonder if they’ll make the new DH bike 29” rear wheel compatible ? I believe it’s a mullet as of now. His SC team mates ride the mullet versions of the V10. I know they are a lot shorter than Greg but it seems like he likes full 29er’s. I know he made comments regarding high pivots. Maybe he didn’t like the feel of the high pivot V10 proto. and not necessarily high pivots ?? Who knows. It’ll be interesting that’s for sure.

The Inside Scoop on Norco's Prototype Downhill Bike
I’ve hit mine a few times but you get used to it being there and haven’t had any real issues with it (so far). I automatically unweight the rear and lift it a little if I see a steep crest. If you’re riding the range on slow tech it won’t be that much fun. It was not designed for slow tech. It wanna go fast on the roughest stuff you can throw at it. Then it’ll laugh at you and call you slow. The range is like a cheat code for mountain biking.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: The Real Bike Weights from PB Editors
My Range weighs over 39 lbs. size L , carbon rims , cranks , and bars with maxxis DD tire casings front and back. Tubeless front and cushcore XC in the rear. I like the weight for the descents. It feels very planted and solid. It is more work on the climbs but you just get fitter and the body get’s used to it . IMO some extra weight is worth it for the added security on the descents. Especially with tires. If the bike is too light you’re getting thrown around more when things get rough.

13 Bikes That Could See An Update In 2023
Apparently Devinci is getting out of DH. I’ve heard that they are discontinuing the Wilson. So an update would be surprising to see from what I’ve heard. If it’s true , it’s a shame. The Wilson is an awesome bike.

North Shore Racks Debuts 2023 Lineup of Racks
If you want to wreck your bike , get one of these racks. They’ll get banged around when getting loaded and get scratched from the rack itself. These things are over hyped.

Review: Yakima's $849 StageTwo Hitch Rack
@jason3559: 1up here in Canada is pretty expensive after shipping that’s why I didn’t get one. I bought my Thule before the price hikes so I got lucky.

Review: Yakima's $849 StageTwo Hitch Rack
Yakima has very poor build quality and in my experience, very bad customer service. I had a Yakima rack rust out in only a few years of usage and they refused to warranty it. Claiming abuse and that it’s seen many weather cycles. Yakima is a joke. Over priced garbage and their “lifetime warranty” is non existent. I will never buy another Yakima product again and tell people how bad their product is every time a conversation about racks comes up. Bought a Thule and I am very happy with the build quality and the sturdiness so far.
