Video: Chance Encounter with King Charles While Riding in Scotland
Awesome to see real world interactions like this where the handlers and media aren't guiding the cult of personality.

Race Analysis: Châtel EDR World Cup 2023
How about the fact that Booker, Rude and Lukasic all finished on the same 1/10th of a second and Rude/Booker were in a dead tie all the way to 1/1000th of a second. Doesn't get much tighter than that!

Photo Epic: Les Gets XC World Cup 2023
XC photo of the year so far. The one of Dubau off the log drop showing the camber they are landing on is pretty awesome as well.

@BadgerBacker: he will replace the SC with the Yeti when it comes out in three weeks and then re-wrap the Lambo SUV to match that instead

Review: 2023 Orbea Oiz M-Pro - Don't Call it Downcountry
@HB208: no price difference between the Allied and the EE SWorks framesets. The Allied XX1 Transmission build is only $750 more than the SWorks build and you get a US made frame.

Review: 2023 Orbea Oiz M-Pro - Don't Call it Downcountry
That doesn't mean it rides the same as a full XC bike. I used to think that as well until I rode my 26 lb SJ back to back with my 25 lb Epic Evo. Both had the exact same wheels/tires and rode them back to back on the same day/trails with a friend that was considering buying one of them. Whomever was on the EE would drop the other person on the climbs without even trying. It wasn't even close.
Not saying that the SJ can't be ridden long distances, big climbs, etc, it is just not nearly as efficient as a real XC bike.

Review: 2023 Orbea Oiz M-Pro - Don't Call it Downcountry
Did my first build with headset routed cables a few weeks ago. Nobody wants to hear it, but pretty basic to do. One thing I noticed was that cable lengths become inconsequential. so no more guess work there. You can run them really tight without issue. The only challenge is if you want to replace your top headset bearing, but when was the last time anyone had to do that due to wear? Bottom bearing is no issue what so ever.
