Henry's Waffle House: All-Mountain Bikes Are Back, and They're More Pointless Than Ever
@workingclasswhore: I only run 375 15 32's on it. Am I doing it right?

Henry's Waffle House: All-Mountain Bikes Are Back, and They're More Pointless Than Ever
Larger problem here is that modern 120 bikes are wildly more capable than we give them credit for. I currently have 70/120/150/170 bikes at 22/25/30/36 lbs respectively. My 150 bike is completely redundant. The 120 bike is faster everyplace except where the 170 bike is absolutely required. This part was really eye opening. In moderate rocks at high speeds the 120 bike can be thrown around way more easily which actually makes is faster over these descents. Main difference is the 5 lbs of weight savings. I actually run the same wheels/drivetrain/brakes on both bikes, but different tires, bigger fork/rear shock and much heavier frame layup make up the weight difference. My 150 bike is as fast as my 170 bike, but has way less margin for error. When I travel I take the 170 bike because I am going to be riding things blind and want that larger envelope.

But my Ram 2500 diesel with 35's is OK right? I mean, I don't have a snorkel...

Spotted: Did Specialized Just Soft-Launch a New Epic?

This is the new Epic and not Epic Evo most likely. Rumors have been flying around for a while. The headset routing has to be better than the previous Epic Evo headtube routing where the grommet wouldn't stay in place for more than 10' of riding. I do expect this to be an absolutely insane bike. Update geo and similar pedaling characteristics to the current EE.

Whoop Becomes Title Sponsor of the UCI Mountain Bike World Series
Worn Whoop for 5+ years and none of this has been an issue. You can't wear the others (Garmin can eat my a$* BTW) 24 hours a day 7 days per week and they also don't give the same insights. Not for everyone, but it is not intended for everyone either. Side note, don't try to use Whoop in place of a chest strap. Simply doesn't work well enough in real time. It is purely for recovery and daily strain.

First Ride: Focus Vam² SL - Electric Downcountry?
Simply comes down to entertainment value. I could say the same about a regular bike, if not racing XC then why not have all the travel. You will get strong enough eventually right? I actually followed this concept for a long time logging 30-50 mile rides on my 170 bikes. Then I got a modern XC bike and my whole world view changed. Way more entertaining on the descents, even if my ultimate speed wasn't quite equal (my XC bike is actually faster on most descents) and also way more fun on flat or rolling terrain.

UCI Announces 2024 XC Marathon World Cup Schedule
If they could figure out how to cover these races (GoPro and drones?) they would be awesome to watch. 60 mile point to point racing is how it all really started. The 10 minutes of video with the riders cruising through the feed zones does it no justice.

Forge & Bond Release New Budget-Minded Thermoplastic Wheelset
Would and did buy WAO. Have some friends that have ridden the FaB wheels and watching that experience even if they paid me I wouldn't ride them.
