Photo Epic: Dual Slalom - Crankworx Whistler 2024
These photos are stunning! Sitting here dodging work, drooling over them is a nice escape from the hell that is my job. I'm curious, is the course rebuilt each year for this? I feel like I've skied down right where this course is but I don't recall any big features that would be under the snow. Maybe I'm mistaken, it's been 3 years since I skied there. It seems like an awful big job to have to remove and rebuild all that each summer.

Video: Friday Fails #326
2024 and some people still can't figure out that landscape mode for video is tons better than that stupid narrow sliver portrait mode. It's like plugging a landline into a smart phone.

I have the grips also. Best bang for the buck on grips there is!

PNW Components Releases $199 Range Dropper Post & Lever Package
I've never had a problem with my PNW in 5 years, and I feel like I work the hell out of it. I'm in a dry climate here though. Your climate is much different obviously. Also, I've had Thomson droppers on two different bikes and they were bullet proof. I echo your pain on the Reverb. I had one once, couldn't wait to get rid of it! Also, the Specialized dropper came on a bike I once bought. I couldn't believe they put that thing on the market. Total trash.

PNW Components Releases $199 Range Dropper Post & Lever Package
@pnwcomponents: Glad you saw my comment and that it's something PNW is looking into. Seriously, I do love my PNW dropper for the serviceability and durability. Every time I service it I think "Saving $100 here!" But I do cuss a lot trying to put the seat back on that thing. I need 3 hands! If you want a pic of that K2 post, I'm happy to send it to you! I've considered cutting the top off of that post and having it welded on to my PNW post but don't want to add the weight of the weld. I'm kidding! But I wish I could.

PNW Components Releases $199 Range Dropper Post & Lever Package
I've had a PNW dropper for about 5 years now. What I love about it is not having to spend $100 once or twice a year for service - I can service it myself as often as necessary and it's easy. What I HATE about it is the seat mounting bracket!! Every time I service the post, I'm cussing my head off at whoever designed that stupid thing! I'm glad to see a slight mention of about the bolts here. That's a frustration as well. Hey PNW guys, I can show you a MUCH better design that is WAY more user friendly if you need some help there. I have a 25 year old K2 hard tail that has a single bolt design that is heaven to use and adjust. I'm sure they don't own the patent on that anymore.

13 Tire Setups From Red Bull Hardline
I don't get how they can run 23, 24 psi and not bust a rim with how hard those guys impact stuff. I wouldn't even register on their scale, and I crushed an Enve 630 carbon rim on just a little bunny hop going 2 mph. And I was running 33 psi! I don't get it, but I'm never buying another Enve rim again.

Whatever happened to all that "choice" stuff we're supposed to be so spoiled with?

"Overpriced rubber" - ain't THAT the truth! Tires are the razor blade & printer ink part of the MTB business. Ridiculous prices compared to cost of mfr.
Also nice to see some color in the lineup. The monochrome or murdered look is played and tired. Reminds me of the 1930's pictures of Russians.

I wanna see him reach down, grab that bottle and take a drink while hummin' down a trail.
