Must Watch: Brandon Semenuk's Fools Gold
@isaacwallen: Pinkbike can be absolutely toxic, and I agree with what you said about the change over time...
That said, I think the critique here has been fairly reasonable? It's art. People like different things. There's people here who really gelled with the style, and people with whom it didn't. It doesn't make what you did bad! You can never please everyone and, whilst it can be hard, I wouldn't read too much into it!
As I said above, I wasn't a big fan personally, but I'll add that I appreciate that it was different to everything else out there and that IS a good thing. Keep pushing the boundaries my friend, and good luck!

Must Watch: Brandon Semenuk's Fools Gold
It wasn't for me. I found it frustrating that through most of the moves it would cut to another angle mid-move, often more than once. The interruptions were jarring for me. The best bits were where this didn't happen, like the last move.
From what I could make it the riding was impeccable.
Nb. I didn't hate the editing per se - it was done well and matched the music I suppose. I think it would be good for something else. I just don't like so many cuts through the actual riding bits...

What's this down trail thing then? Surely it's En-trail?

UCI Mountain Bike World Series Partners with WHOOP for Live Biometric Data
@somebody-else: I don't think that would be an issue. Watching each race would give you a baseline and I don't that the variance is sufficient to prevent an accurate estimate.

I can't see the athletes being particularly happy about their live data being available. Surely it's a good indicator of how toasted you are from an effort and informs your rivals? I can't see how they could implement this fairly unless everyone had it?

Review: 2023 Bold Unplugged - Tracloc, Hidden Shock, & Two Smoking Barrels
Froday - some companies do have size specific chainstays, or chainstay adjustment though.
My Geometron you can adjust pretty much everything including seatstay length.
Or go custom with something like an Atherton?
I bet there are options out there for you. Whether it's worth spending the money for a new frame is what is actually up for debate!

Staff Rides: Matt Beer's Nukeproof Giga 297
@UnitedInShred22: Thanks buddy - It's definitely at the sportier end of the spectrum! It's fine for general riding but can be a bit stiff for uplift days where you're riding chattery terrain for a much longer period (most of my riding round here is off piste and not crazy rocky/rooty, bar the odd section).
I do intend to experiment more to get a softer tune for those days which require it, but I've just had too much going on to get out much recently... Bring on the summer!
