Why Did Bernard Kerr's Prototype Frame Break at Crankworx Rotorua?
There was an interview with Chris somewhere… he talked about using this lug method only for rapid prototyping. Once they’re done tweaking the frame, they’ll build a full carbon version for sale. Also said it wasn’t feasible as these bikes would cost something like $20k each including all the man hours etc.

Video: Silent Biking Bobsled on Mt. Fromme in North Vancouver with Jason Lucas & Matt Dennison
@djyosh: Nice... the swivel teeter was on an alt line near the middle. Here is a old video... somehow it's much wider than I remember, haha - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qdEfeWUXto

Video: Silent Biking Bobsled on Mt. Fromme in North Vancouver with Jason Lucas & Matt Dennison
@djyosh: Yep and back when I used to live on the shore and near Fromme, before the parking lot was a thing, this trail and Floppy were close enough that I could get a lap or two after work before it got dark. Sometimes I'd only have time to squeak in Natural High (the old version... that 2x4 sideways moving teeter still haunts my dreams)... but at least I got a ride in... even if sometimes it was just a 20 min ride.

First Ride: Privateer 161 Gen 2 - The Beast Is Back
@michaelbevege: That has not been my experience on ebikes. I've demo'd 3 and borrowed 2 friends ebikes. The climbs is great, feels like cheating. But everywhere else I hated wrestling with the bike. All it takes is a ride on a 50lb ebike to realize how much a jump, flick, move, lift and push my bike around through varying terrain. All of that was much harder. Shedding speed was also harder... for all the energy you save going up, you need it going down, haha... maybe I'm just weak, but I really really noticed that extra 13 lbs or so on the downs.

First Ride: Privateer 161 Gen 2 - The Beast Is Back
@Tiefkuehlpizza: Did a 35km, 1700m climb/ride with my 16.8 kg (37 lbs) enduro bike. The full Lord of the Squirrels loop from Function. Was totally fine. That day was preceded by a 620m day riding Blackcomb trails (Dark Crystal (sooo good)) and followed by a full Whistler bike park day which was followed by another 600m day in Squamish. Never thought about my bike's weight once. What I did think about was great it was having an one bike that can handle anything and everything thrown at it. From all day epics to full on bike park days.

David McMillan Shares Injury Update After Crash While Testing Hardline Tasmania Course
Ya just watched BK's video and surprised it ended when it did... basically when they were about to hit the gap. This must have been the result and why it's not shown?? From the video they all seemed to think they had more than enough speed and that overshooting it was the main concern. But, perhaps even after they cut down the lip a bit, it still sent them higher, and not far enough, than they anticipated... and that's why he came up short?

Vittoria Releases Completely Redesigned Air-Liner Tire Inserts
@TannerValhouli: Ya, used to think that... but after a few issues in the field, I've found the best run flat protection is just to not bother with inserts anymore and carry a spare tube and boot. Overall, with the hassle of install and switching out tires etc and issues... I've just gone with a heavier casing in the rear, run a little bit more pressure and carry a tube + boot + plugs. My mtb life is forever improved moving away from inserts. Even for amateur/fun enduro racing... an insert with more run flat protection isn't going to allow you to ride at full speed anyway so that stage is boned no mater what. Might as well repair properly and be ready for the next stage and again, not have to deal with inserts mid-race. I don't know... I see the benefits and why people still use them, just not for me anymore. To each their own.

First Ride: Knolly Chilcotin 6.0
Yep, Noel mentions in the comments here somewhere, that the reaches have adjusted because because the seat tubes have steepened. So the reaches are pretty comparable to what they were before... which was still on the long side, but not crazy. If people just follow the size guidelines they'll be good. His quote from lower down: "Please note that there was a significant increase in seat tube angle between the previous Chilcotin and the new one. That alone accounts for about 20mm of increased reach, while keeping the ETT (Effective Top Tube) length the same. The new bikes DO fit slightly larger than the outgoing ones, but it's only about 1/5 of a frame size. This was to make room for the new XS sized frames, launched with the Endorphin this past November."
