Pinkbike Poll: Do You Enjoy Riding In the Mud?
@owl-X: no Willamette Valley. It’s funny how different WA and OR are. OR is clay on the west side and sand that rides great wet in the east side.

That’s how the mud is in my part of the PNW

Same, I was looking for a PNW clay option.

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Enjoy Riding In the Mud?
Loose gravel sucks but it is better in the wet than the dry IMO. All the graveled trails near me are only worth riding when the predominately clay ones are a grease fest

Crankworx World Tour Heads to Mont-Sainte-Anne for the First Time in September
Was talking to some Whistler locals on the chair the other day and they said it was noticeably less busy this year. Red Bull and Sram pulled back a ton too, or dropped out entirely, can’t remeber what they said. But does sound like it is dying

Pinkbike's Tech Editors Pick Their Ideal MTB Geometry Numbers (2026 Edition)
@UtahJohn: that makes sense. I do find on my bike in pumice I have to really get forward and weight the front. Most my riding is hardpack though and trails I know well. Anyway thanks to the other people too that chimed in, definitely some food for thought.

How come people prefer longer rear centers? It’s always been explained to me that shorter is more flickable and longer is more stable at speed. I’m not an amazing rider but faster than like 95% of the people I see at the trail center. I’ve always ridden short stays and never had an issue with stability at speed. Just curious what the advantage would even be for a guy like me that doesn’t have stability issues? Granted I am 5’7” and on a S3 size.

Pinkbike Poll: Is In-Frame Storage Worth It?
@Segamethod: doesn’t it strengthen the frame? Without the full section of down tube you have to thicken the layup on remaining section. The remaining section happens to be the most prone spot on a frame to rock strikes, exactly where you want a thicker carbon layup.
