Semi-Final Results from the Loudenvielle DH World Cup 2023
I'm liking the coverage & commentary on the whole. Additions like Gwin are great though as it's another point of view with lots of current info on the riders and bikes. Camera angles are.mostly.good.and last week at least, way more of the track seemed.to be covered than most Red Bull races. I think there are a lot of rose tinted glasses. Every week was full of complaints about their coverage, stream issues etc. I do miss Rob's style though.

Millyard's Hyper Ride Shock Returns
"Low pressure tyres conform to the terrain better. This means they will grip better, no matter what." That seems like an over simplification of a complex system. You are correct only in two circumstances i.e. when a tire hits the upside of a bump where the required deformation is small enough that the tire is able to absorb it fully and at a speed that doesn't actuate the suspension or on an even surface. Once you take bigger bumps, faster speeds and rear suspension action into account, things are more complex. If softer was better, we'd all be running slow rebound to mimic a soft tyre. I'd expect there to be a sweet spot for all suspension which is where there tyre deformation & rebound work approximately in phase with your suspension damping & rebound. This would only be for a range of speeds as tyre damping can't be controlled. This would keep the tyre in firmer contact with the ground for longer and so provide more grip.

Cane Creek Announces Progressive Springs for Coil Shocks
@faul: Why would it matter to the rebound circuit whether the progression is provided by the leverage ratio or the spring rate?

4 Affordable Trail Bike Forks Ridden & Rated
@bkm303: Exactly. Absolutely agree that this sort of article should present a much wider range of options. Far too much focus on the big 2. This in turn impacts the market (buyer buy what they know) and results in less choice for those of us willing to consider other options. That said, there's not been a better time in recent history if you want something that isn't Fox / Rockshox so maybe I'm wrong.

Orange's New Switch 6 Mullet Bike - Eurobike 2019
I was thinking that. I'm guessing they use the same front end and different rear which would have to change some figures other than just CS, especially as its re-using the Alpine rear.

First Look: Maxxis' New Dissector Tire is Made for Dry, Loose Conditions
I thought it looked more like a Spesh Eliminator but it's a bit of a hybrid of the two.
