First Ride: Ibis Ripmo - Now With Downtube Storage & Mixed Wheel Compatibility
yeah since the 38 came out ive seen this. and it affects small bump compliance quite a lot. in fact, i ran one stock for 3mo and i became worse at biking, because i lost confidence in my front end. the first time it feels like maybe its the bike geo. then maybe i dont weight the front enough. then maybe its the tires. is the pressure still right? but when you ride with people going fast on rough stuff, gear actually matters. you keep losing the front end until you fall a few times and lose confidence.
anyway this fork had the most grease ive ever seen in a 38 when i finally decided to fix it and see if its really just the grease. it took 3 days of riding to regain all the confidence. so yes - its bad, like real bad and perhaps dangerous.

2024 Tour de Gnar Cancelled After Yoann Barelli's Horrific Crash
I see a TON of people sending hard in half shells and I guarantee you:
1) they never crashed hard so they dont know
2) they think fullface is annoying, hot and not cool
3) they see youtube stars in half shell
I wish Yoann quick and good recovery, but I also think MTB youtubers should think about proper helmets, pads and for some of them armors.
DH riders crash and sometimes still break stuff in full armor and full face. Thanksfully, most of the time they just walk away.

Video: Transition Bikes Goes to Psychosis
funny that it takes a bunch of transition employees going there for fun - but damn yeh.
i met one of these guys not long ago while testing their bikes in fact. he sounded like a shredder but i hadnt realized how much more of a shredder than me he was, til this video, lol.

Pinkbike Poll: Are XC Courses Getting Too Gnarly?
well then it means its too much. a track on dry is always gripper than a wet trail.
I don't really enjoy seeing stuff being so dicy the best mtbers in the world just fall every now and then because bad luck personally, specially in lycra with shit helmets. but I get that I'm in the minority. we'll wait for a bad accident I guess.

Isabeau Courdurier Announces She Will Take a Break in 2025
She's also super relatable. I text'd her some questions about her bike setup and she replied over night. How many sport stars do this? Still can't believe it lol. Makes her a double super-star in my book. Also don't spam her ok.

First Ride: Fox's New Transfer Dropper Post - Adjustable Travel, Up to 240mm of Drop
well.. i love oneups but they do require frequent maintenance (which is super easy, yes) and they aren't as smooth.
if the fox is as good as their previous model but reasonably serviceable, for a few more grams dollars .. it seems like a good deal to me actually.
today all my bikes run a v2 oneup.
