@thustlewhumber: somehow, both of you are correct

Mechanical disc brakes are crap. There’s no saving them.

@rodeoknight: and all for the low price of ~150$

@donimo: yeah, I dug around and found full version of the replay, the one I watched was some cut up version. The website is super confusing and there’s not much descriptions.

I was watching on eurosport website and there were three 5min long ads so I haven’t seen some of the runs. Ronnan in the gate-ad-Amaury in the gate. Commentators and cameras are ok, but I immediately unsubbed, I’m not paying to watch ads instead of the runs!

@FuzzyL: keep the motorway, you also need skill to ride it fast. I disagree with DH being just rough shute. The best riders should have rounded skills, that means also pumping, keeping speed, jumps, cornering etc.

Well said

If there are no kurwa’s thrown around it probably wasn’t shot in Poland.

@betsie: yeah, you are not gonna sell me on tubes :D and changing DD or DH tires is doable, but not something I wanna do as a hobby, especially when the tires are muddy. If I want to purposefully ride easy trails I will take XC or gravel bike. If I’m planning on slaying gnar (or just bumble down in the eyes of pros) I will have my enduro with meaty tires. But there is overlap in both, meaty tires on blues and gravel bike on loamy enduro ofcambers. I don’t disagree that there are better tires for riding easy trails, and they would be better even on enduro sleds, but it’s just not realistic for most people to have multiple wheelsets or to change tires every couple of days.

Not sure what you meant to say, but surely not that people should use light xc tires on their enduro rigs? Or do you expect them to change tires/wheels when they want to warm up on some blue and reds? I have assguy and DHR2 for the toughest conditions, but I use them for easy trails too since they are mounted on the bike.
