LAST CHANCE: Build Your Team Ahead of Round 7 - 2026 Les Gets DH World Cup
Although it is nice to win (I won round 5, made my day) PB isn't going to contact you or give you anything for it. They should have least have the courtesy to remove prizes if they aren't going to actually offer them.

Round 5 Fantasy DH League Results - 2026 La Thuile DH World Cup
No need to worry pinkbike never contacted me within 5 days of winning (as stated in their official rules) so you are just pissing in the wind. It is nice to win, kind of lame this site doesn't actually honor their claims though.

Winning Bike Check: Hayden Zablotny's Rocky Mountain Altitude
Dhr2 rear and a kryptotal fr in front is actually a great combo, better than the double dhr2 (2.4R, 2.5F) that is my go to.

First Ride: The 2025 Transition Sentinel is 29" and MX-Capable
Have the v2 and love it. The only thing I would change is slightly longer chainstays and reach (455 to 460). I actually wouldn't make the head angle steeper. My only quirk with it is the small screws at the downtube cable entry ports and the suspension. Even with the cascade link, it doesn't perform well over repeated impacts and is hard to find a good balance between bottom out resistance and tracking at speed. Fox float x for reference.
If they improve rear suspension performance this would be on my radar for an upgrade.

The Final Mega Randoms - Taipei Cycle Show 2024
I appreciate the article, but just out of curiousity why did pinkbike remove my comment criticizing the bike industry for their inability to design and implement bushing tolerances on their forks? Is this a censorship website now?

The Final Mega Randoms - Taipei Cycle Show 2024
Awesome article! Make more dimensionally accurate bushings though since that is the interface between the stanchions and lowers. If you haven't figured out that by this point please tendor your resignation.

Interview: Downhill Tire Tech with Maxxis
@ethanshredz: I'll second the undercutting of the side knobs. I just replaced a dhr2 on the rear (MT compound, DD casing) with good center knobs because the side knobs are completely blown out. I noticed this started to happen when riding rockier terrain with sandpaper like grip in the dry.
