Video: Official Highlights from the Aletsch Arena Enduro World Cup 2024
The vid has been out a couple days now. PB just slow on posting it. I watched the first half two days ago. Need to get back to the last half.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Why Did Our Bikes Get So Big?
Just because Matt Beer rips doesn't mean he has the only valid opinions for "serious technical discussions". That said I respect his opinions but I think each of the other technical editors all have very valid opinions and bring something to the table. Read and watch content for a while and you can get an idea for whom your riding most closely matches.

That was my first thought too when I saw them last week. I might have to get some of the moto goggles that have that same feature for roost protection but I'll use it for sun at the bike park.

Trailcraft Maxwell 26
$2200 USDTrailcraft Maxwell 26 Pro Full Suspension
Neon Green
Near new bike, it was ridden around 5-7 times but unfortunately my daughter outgrew the bike during the late fall, winter and spring.
Pro build 120mm Rear Suspension
Rockshox Reba RL 120mm
Shimano XT brakes
Shimano 12 speed, Deore Casette 10-51 gives a great low gear for climbing that kids can sustain.
Trailcraft 152mm cranks sized right for kids with 30t chainring
Trailcraft carbon bar
KS Lev SL Dropper Post 100mm
SDG kids saddle
Kenda Regolith tires set up tubeless
Nice Tag composite pedals
I also added some shelter tape on the downtube for protection
Would be $3098 with dropper post upgrade from Trailcraft. Save money and tax on this near new example. https://www.trailcraftcycles.com/product/maxwell-26/

Race Analysis from the Les Gets DH World Cup 2024
@Fill-Freakin: That might be true but there were still a ton of wet roots and still greasy patches. I agree another run for the ages by AP!

[UPDATED] Final Results & Overall Standings from the Combloux Enduro World Cup 2024
Completely ridiculous to have Enduro on Friday and E-Eunduro Saturday.
Just makes zero sense.

Video: Flat Pedals Win Medals - But Are They Only Meant for Downhill?
@bman33: I think I worded that oddly so I can see how it was implied that maybe some athletes are imposters. I guess in my mind riding flats at mach speed just requires some kind of athletic je ne sais quoi that all WC athletes will posses but maybe the cream will more fully rise to the top.

I'd love to see a requirement for WC DH that all riders must use flats. Would highlight the true athletes in the sport even more.

@knightmarerider: I just switched back to clips after riding solely flats since 2018. Using Mallet DH pedals with Mallet Trail Boa shoes. It's a pretty great combo. I came back to clips as I did an early season race and had multiple times having feet get unsettled going through rock gardens. I got used to them pretty quick and really there are quite a few places where clips seem like it's a lot easier to go faster, rock gardens being the main one but I'd say it's easier to put power down in little spurts too.
I still love riding flats though as I feel you need to read the trail more completely and one can weight the pedal in different ways to influence balance, makes for a more engaging ride.
