Video: Do You Really Need DH Casing Tires?
Cripes. I'm 220lbs (6'2") and run 19 in the rear on an EXO+ (Enduro) casing. I'm not a delicate rider but I don't remember the last time I pinged a rim and I rarely get any noticeable punctures. I guess based on all these comments I'll put this down to the insets I run (Rimpact). And yes - I ride fast, steep rocky DH trails at a decent level.

Video: Loic Bruni Shares Update After the 2025 Mont-Sainte-Anne DH World Cup
@DoubleCrownAddict: @DoubleCrownAddict: Honestly dude, you're talking nonsense. Why is waiting to see if Jackson does well enough to beat hime make him unsporting or dirty? It's racing, it's literally a competition. Maybe don't watch DH if you don't like the strategy, competition or psychology it's built on and stop getting on your high horse and being offended on other peoples behalf. Every other rider would have done the same (And have) and no other rider would mind. It's part of the game.

Dario DiGiulio's 2025 Predictions
Pinkbike commenter in "cannot understand any experience outside my own" shocker ;-) . 6' 2", 220lbs/100kgs. I get arm/hand pump constantly from repeated long descents, esp. as break fade kicks in. Any help with power means at any given point that it's going to be easier to break sufficiently, easier to modulate, and easier to control. My Q is almost the exact opposite of yours, why WOULDN'T you want more power?

Exposure Lights Releases New Lineup
Crash plenty and have never broken one yet. They have a really sturdy clamp and a lanyard loop to attach to the bike. All worth it to have zero wires IMO.

I have one that's 15 years old and still awesome. They fix them when they break and the CS is generally awesome. Its a bunch of money, but utterly worth it in the long run.
