First Ride: The 2025 Specialized Stumpjumper Has a New Dual Chamber Air Shock

There's lots of people doing big dumb shit. In May I did a MTB bikepacking race without sleeping. 360 miles and 34,000 feet of up.

@thenotoriousmic: Yeah dude, Danny MacAskill, you've probably heard of him. Research his suspension setup. Also, research how Richie Rude sets up his bike. Some of us ride trails with techy wall rides, meter tall ledges we have to hop UP without assist, stuff like that on our big day trail rides. Coils might be great for how you ride, but they are not better in every circumstance. Saying a coil is better in every way for every style rider is just thinking what is good for you is good for everyone.

Video: World's First Backflip Superman Seatgrab Indy To Barspin

@plyawn: Yeah, BMX has had this out there for a decade plus or something. Hell, those kids are literally doing backflip triple tailwhips with a barspin thrown on the end still.

@thenotoriousmic: They work for totally different riding styles. If someone rides like a trials rider and throws the bike around, they're going to not only want an air shock, but put all the tokens in it for all the progression. The reason other industries don't use air shocks is no car or truck company is going to tell the person that just bought a dump truck "Yeah bring it into the shop every 50 hours so I can replace seals". It's more a durability thing.

Pinkbike Primer - Everything You Need to Know Ahead of the 2019 Snowshoe XC World Cup

@gdumont: Peter Sagan was the Mountain Bike World Champion as a junior. It was exciting when he entered the Olympics for MTB instead of road last go around, would LOVE to see more of that.

It's hard not to think that MVDP is the strongest all around cyclist on the planet right now. It's entirely reasonable that he could have been World Champion in CX(HE IS), MTB XC(Skipped, though clearly the strongest), and Road(Going to be exciting) in the same year.

Day 3 Randoms - Eurobike 2019

Over the years I've built about 5 bikes for people that only own one arm, now there's a even cleaner solution. Hells yeah.

Not for MTB really, but for utilitarian city riding or remote touring it's as simple and fixable as they come.

Can you imagine paying to travel across oceans to race bikes as a junior? Talent stays a bit more localized in the younger categories and condenses with age and sponsorship. That said, we do need more women in general on bikes.
