Pinkbike's DH Fantasy League is Back for 2024!
@edspratt: I initially didn't like the salary cap with dynamic pricing, but the more I think about it, the more some salary cap makes sense. Given the initial prices are set on last years results, it would seem that the best strategy would be to just pick mostly top riders who were injured last year and watch them quickly shoot up well past the capped level. Without the cap, we then just have a bunch of teams who can't make any moves as they'd be lowering their value greatly. Makes for great initial strategizing, but not to great longterm play. With the salary cap, people are going to have to at least choose who they think will do atypically well at each round and the winner won't be determined by who picked the returning or breakout stars before the beginning of the season. I would consider letting there by some flexibility. Like you have 1.5 million of purchasing power, but you have a bit of wiggle room with the dynamic pricing. Like your team value could go up to 1.6 or 1.7 million in value as your own riders increase. It will be really annoying when a $25k rider takes a top 30 and gets bumped to 50k and it triggers an automatic sell off of your $750k rider if you don't notice in time. It would also reward people for investing in those good picks. If they wanted to change out people, though, they'd still be bound by the 1.5 million purchasing cap.

Photo Story: Matt Fairbrother Wins NZ MTB Rally Entirely Self-Supported
This is awesome. After reading this article, I was shamed into riding my bike the 2.5 miles/400 feet to my trail head rather than driving to save that bit of extra legs. Good work, Fairbrother!

GT Launches North American Demo Tour
I saw the truck in Boulder City the other day. Unfortunately, this announcement popped up after the first stop was done and I assumed the truck was the race team. I'm not really in the market, but I'd have liked trying out a GT as I've never been on one.

Race Face Announces All New T3 Tailgate Pads
I live in the US and roll my XL Ripmo right into the back of my Transit Connect (passenger version), despite the foot print being much smaller than any truck on the US market. Of course Ford never made any effort to sell those to non-fleets and the wagon version had a pretty half-assed interior. Now they're discontinued completely. The US market loves their trucks.

Swagman Announces Summit Vertical Rack
I own a Swagman and I basically assumed that for years. I bought the XTC2 when I started mountain biking, telling myself I'd buy a nice rack if I really got into the sport. A decade later, the thing is still going for occasional use. It's simple, but has worked very well for both local stuff and a few long, cross country adventures.

Results: Shimano Supercup Massi Banyoles
@hereumadale: Thank you! I don't have specific questions really, I was just curious as we plan to visit in summer 2025 once our friends are settled in and I would of course love to ride.

Results: Shimano Supercup Massi Banyoles
Has anyone ever ridden the trails around Banyoles? How is it? I have friends moving there soon and trailforks has a whole lot of trails in the area, but they seem fragmented and mixed in with non-bike trails, so I'm curious if the trails in the area are built for bikes vs bikeable and what sort of riding is there.

Review: The New 2024 Scott Ransom 900 RC Has All The Integration
I think I'm the only one in the comment section that likes this bike. It seems pretty ideal for my home trails and would provide a bit more margin of error than my current Ripmo. I also am against weird cable routing as totally unnecessary, but honestly, I can't remember the last time I removed/rerouted my cables anyway (assuming the bar works for me). What I do hate is SX on a 6k boke. That's wild. I'd prefer Deore.

@Struggleteam: Slayer is socially acceptable these days. Nickelback is way more DGAF in my my mind.
