Pinkbike Poll: How Do You Set Up Your Saddle?
First of all, saddle positioning is different for a mountian bike in comparision to a road bike because of the full suspenion set up. I tilt the front of the sadlle down about 1.5 cm to compensate when the rear compressing on bumps, but keep it level on my road bike. I have had 3 professional bike fit ups over the years, and I can assure you that most people dont know crap about where the saddle should be or set it up properly. To get most power and be nice to your knees, you need to sit on the bike in the 9 - 3 oclock position, and lean against a wall, drop a plum line from the front of either knee, and it should fall right at the end of the creank arm, and this is where you will get most power. I also run a 50-70 mm stem, but I am most comfortable when the saddle is 23" from center of handle bars to tip of seat. In other words, you adjust the saddle based on running the plumb line, then adjust the stem length so you are comfortable and not straight up & down.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Which Saddles Pinkbike's Editors Put on Their Own Bikes
Anyone who says that its more comfortable riding a mountian bike wihtout using a Chaois is full of it, and I have been riding for 27 years now and always wear my shorts with a Chamois, but my shorts go in the wash after each ride, even if its only one hour long. Speaking of saddles, I love my Fabric saddle on my MTB bike, and ride a Fizik Aliante R3 on my Pinarelo road bike which is very comfy.

[Updated with Overall] Final Results from EWS Whistler 2022
Richie Rude must have had a mechanical or he is hurt, because he finished in 44th I believe, which is way off his pace.

Foes Mutz XL

$2950 USD
This is a 2017 Foes Mutz Fat Bike, and its the king of full suspension fat bikes without any doubts. It has 140 mm rear travel and 150 mm on the front Manitou Mastodon Pro forks. The shock is a DVO Topaz which is fairly new, and the wheels are Nextie carbon 90 mm on the rear & a 65 mm on the front and are also fairly new along with the North45 Vanhelga tires. The bike came with a Fox shock, Fox 140 mm forks, Stans Hugo 52 mm rims and Jumbo Jim Schwalbe 4" tires. I tried the Wren upside down forks and 4-5 different tires, and these Manitou forks & North45 tires are simply the best all around. The KS dropper post is a 150 mm and was rebuilt maybe 10-12 hours of riding ago. I origanally had the SRAM Reverb which was a terrible dropper to say the least. I will throw in the Fox shock that came with this bike as well. Cosmetically speaking, there is wear marks as you can see in the pics & decals that could use replacing. I can assure you that there is NO DENTS or GUAGES or CRACKS on this frame, it is a used mtb bike as you can see. Its been sitting around for the last 2 years mainly because of Covid-19, but I also bought a new Ibis Ripmo and have been riding that bike most of the time. This fat bike has only had 3 years of real use, it also has the SRAM XO group set with Next SL 175 mm carbon cranks, 30 tooth on the front and a 11-50 GX cassette on the back with XO derailier. I ended up breaking 2 teeth on the 50 cog on the XO cassette, which was replaced under warranty, so I went for a GX cassette and never had any issues. Handle bars are Race Face carbon 770 mm wide, and a Race Face 60 mm stem. The brakes are the SRAM Avid 4 piston top of the line brakes with 200 mm rotors front & back. This bike works perfectly fine and is a blast to ride. I have put over $8000 into this bike, because I have replaced most of the components like the tires, wheels, dropper post, handlebars, forks, brakes, shock, and group set. BTW shipping will be paid by the buyer and will be via Fedex, DHL, or UPS. I also spent a lot of time talking to Dan Mutz on the phone who designed this Mutz for Foes, about set up, the DVO Topaz shock etc, and he has 2 of his own bike shops on the East coast of the USA. The selling price for this fat bike is now $2,950.00, which includes shipping from Canada to the USA, excludng Hawaii and Alaska of course.

Interview: Why Yoann Barelli Is Stepping Away From Racing
Yoann you are one of the classiest guys out there, and you make me laugh with any of your videos man, and what a sense of humour. I remember watching your video showing us how you hurt your knee, and it was like wow all it took was such a little mistake to trash your knee, but I could feel your pain because I hurt my right knee as well so I know the feeling. I wish you the very best in all your endevours my friend, and I know that you will do very well.

Video: In-Depth Analysis of Flat Pedal Efficiency with the Strength Factory
This guy is full of crap with this test, absolute garbage. He does not mention anything about the efficiency on the down stroke versus the up stroke. In other words you simply cannot pull up with as much power on flat pedals. I used to be a member at the Peak Center for human performance in Ottawa, Ontario, and they have a special test bike that measures how efficient your pedal stroke is, and whether one leg is stronger than the other, and pretty much every other stat under the sun. You cannot pull up with as much power on the up stroke with flats versus clip less pedals because there was a group of us that tested that very scenario. The other thing this guy does not mention, is the fact that I dont care how good you are, you will never get your left & right feet lined up on flat pedals, as far as where your foot is on a flat pedal, impossible. They will always be all over the place which will be hard on your knees in the long run. Everyone talks about Sam Hill, who rides on flats. People forget that he started out as a down hill Pro racer, who graduated to EWS racing, and just kept the flat pedals along the way. He is a great rider without any doubts, but he is the only one that uses flat pedals. 100% of the Cross country Pro's use clip less, 95% of the down hill Pro's use clip less as well including Aaron Gwyn and all the top racers.
