Bike Check: Remy Morton's Chainless Specialized Demo 8
@maxgod: sometimes that's not really a thing. Our local org spent the better part of a million bucks to develop a local skills park and easily half of it is unrideable with a modern trail bike. I'll take your challenge though and investigate the possibilities of perhaps reshaping and reconfiguring some of those features to get more use.

Bike Check: Remy Morton's Chainless Specialized Demo 8
@harrisongregoire: ok ok I guess I've just ridden too many bike parks designed by guys who seem to test ride and shape features based off of BMX or 26" DJ bikes, and then you get with them later and even they admit the jumps feel awkward on a big bike. You look around and all the locals are on 29" trail bikes. Well then why are we making features with funds donated by the community that most trail-bike riders won't feel comfortable riding even if they could shred most jump lines? I'm all about weird bikes that shrug off convention to suit the owners desires, but I can only imagine if Remy brings this bike to build days how that will impact the overall design of a trail. Perhaps in some great ways, and perhaps in some negative aspects too. Probably a great example of the personal touch that a rider can bring to a trail build, for better or worse.

No offense though but I wouldn’t want a guy riding that building my trails because I don’t ride a BMX inspired DH bike. I like trails and even jump lines designed for trail bikes with big wheels because I don’t really want an excuse to buy a DJ bike.

Aaron Gwin to Join Crestline as Rider & Part-Owner for 2024 - Full Interview & Podcast
@sethsherlock: thanks for correcting me. For whatever reason I thought one of you on the IFR team had raced Enduro, but was mistaken. Good luck out there!

Should be interesting to see what Seth ends up on. Crestline doesn't have an enduro bike and hasn't seemingly had in prototype phase. Even if they did, there are probably not many, and limited time until EWR starts.

No, they gave away a third of their company to afford one of the biggest names in racing in the hopes he grows their company tenfold. If their profit was say, $100k a year split between two founders at $50k each with enough money left over to fund the development of the ebike, they are going to see that every year. More than likely a small company like theirs is going to struggle with generating enough buzz to sell those bikes. With Gwin as an owner, they might split their proceeds three ways, but their revenue will be dramatically higher. It'd be like offering Elon Musk to be a co-owner in your taco truck. He may not do anything but demand free tacos, but you in turn become one of the best know taco trucks around.

Vittoria Releases Completely Redesigned Air-Liner Tire Inserts
I think a lot of insert brands are figuring out that most consumers don't need ride-out capabilities, we just want additional anti-flat and rim-protection capabilities in the lightest possible package.
