Amaury Pierron & Commencal 21 Team Manager Apologize for Instagram Stories
@zstover: fully agree
I can give an extra comment being the "only" French guy here:
1. You all assume that the rest of the world is fully fluent in English and knows language specificities, while we are not.
2. Sorry but "for me" = my culture, my French roots and obviously my big lack of American history knowledge (BTW, what about American knowledge about other countries' history....), I did not even know that the so-called "N-word" was not to be used. You can call it a lack of culture, but I bet many of us here do not know much about other cultures after all.
Frankly, I could have done exactly the same story on Instagram (unfortunately my hair is short and ginger) without having any clue of how offensive this could be for other people... So, you can blame him, but I'd very much like to see the "average American guy" behavior is similar situations in other culture...
Bye

Video: Wet Riding Tips with Remy Metailler
@remymetailler: Thanks for passing by Rémy! I appreciate all the tips and I fully understand the business part of it. Just that I found it a bit too present this time...
Surely, being well equipped is the starting point to enjoy the riding in those conditions!
Anyway, I should watch your video again, I was maybe just not in the right mood the first time ;)
Thanks for sharing the fun and dream on 2 wheels!

@aug7hallak: I fully agree with you, that is his job, but many are doing the same more subtlety... here it was sincerely too much for me. Being an "influencer" does not mean placing a brand/product name every minute...
The fact that he does it this way actually shows that he is not doing it for free... and I just feel like a marketing target and not a fellow rider with whom he would be sharing tips casually.
But this is just my opinion, apparently not shared by many ;)

Can I use REMY20 to pay my bills?
Seriously, nice talk but way too much product placement and advertising to my liking...

OneUp Expands Chain Guide Range
I have one on my bike for several months now together with an oval chainring, very efficient and well placed in terms of price.
Does the job perfectly!

Vorsprung Suspension Releases Corset Air Sleeve for Trek DRCV Shocks
Great review!
Any experience feedback to back up their review? Especially concerning the sag value...
I already run my SB6c with a sag of 30%, do you think I would need to increase it even further?
I have never experienced any "sluggish climbing" with my bike even with the decent mode... should I worry?
How does the new air can influence the different mode of the shock?
