Ride New Trails, Win a Dream Trip to Norway with Norrøna & Trailforks

I can't afford to win this prize. Maybe next time something that doesn't require a minimum travel investment of $3kUSD+ and 48h travel time would garner greater engagement for this objectively cool contest idea?

SRAM's Updated Ochain is More Durable and Less Expensive

I bought an Ochain R and it was a huge improvement for my bike (Rocky Mountain Altitude) in terms of composure and noise through violent trail sections. I pretty much only run 9 degrees of float though, so it's gonna be an Ochain N for my next bikes.

SRAM's Updated Ochain is More Durable and Less Expensive
