Canyon Gap Removed from 2024 Red Bull Hardline

Having a man made feature where there is a strong chance of death or permanent disability is just plain lunacy. I don't want to see any of these riders hurt. Good riddance!

Video: The 'Science' Behind Cleat Positioning with Ben Cathro

I try to set up my cleats the same way I instinctively ride on flats (axle of pedal behind the ball of my foot) which means when riding clip less my cleats are always back as far as the shoes will allow.

Review: How Canyon's KIS Could Change Mountain Biking, and Why It Probably Won't

Of all the things that would make me want to run out and buy a new bike this is not one of them. Also if it were free I probably would still not want it as it adds to the maintenance/complexity of a frame.

Must Watch: Gee Atherton Rides More Exposed Lines in 'Ridgeline IV: The Dolomites'

I really don't think as a community we should be encouraging this kind riding where one slip and the rider will most likely die! Yes its cool to watch but do it enough times and the bill is going to come due!

Must Watch: Gee Atherton Rides More Exposed Lines in 'Ridgeline IV: The Dolomites'

Just because you have the skills and balls to ride something does not mean you should. Its really just a matter of time before some one dies doing stunts like this. God won't protect you when you are being STUPID!

Video: Rowdy Laps with Brendan Fairclough & Jackson Goldstone at the Loudenvielle DH World Cup 2023

Bring out the skin suits and aero bars, and swap out the rotors for 160mm ones as there is so little tech that you won't need your brakes much!

First Look: Rulezman Releases Super Short 15 & 18mm Stems

I ride a 35 mm stem now so this is really only 20mm shorter. Granted its a crap ton taller than my current setup. The problem is he priced it too high and very few people would be willing to take a chance on some thing that expensive that they may not like. thats a lot to spend to try something that may wind up a really expensive paper weight.

Video: Course Preview for the Glentress XC World Champs 2023

Watching these guys stand and crank up long steep climbs that I would be pushing my bike up makes me feel old..., and fat..., and lazy!
