What Geometry Numbers Do the Top Enduro Racers Actually Prefer?
@spaced: very true. Until recently I've always gone for a large but I'm now finding myself looking at mediums but then very long legs means there's not enough stack or seat tube so crazy riser bars and seatposts needed...

What Geometry Numbers Do the Top Enduro Racers Actually Prefer?
I think a plot of height vs reach would be interesting - idle curiosity. It'd be interesting as well to see that vs a manufacturers recommendations... I'm 180cm with short torso and see myself looking at mediums now to avoid massive reaches.. Have tried a long reach and didn't get on with it.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 129 - Are There Too Many MTB Videos? Interview w/ IFHT's Jason Lucas
Apologies if this is covered in the podcast. Writing prior to listening. In my head it's more acceptable to spend 5 minutes of downtime at work reading an article than it is watching a video. Also videos require sound and are attention grabbing in a way a simple webpage isn't. So I'm sad at the profusion of videos that currently seems to be happening.
I also think websites need to curate their content more as right now there's so many I ignore all of them which means that I probably miss some good amongst the mediocre.

Opinion: The Proxy War Between Discovery & Red Bull Is Official
"Again please take this with a huge grain of salt, but several unofficial sources have suggested that mountain bike racing hasn't been a huge moneymaker for the UCI in recent years, so it would be unsurprising for the UCI to move forward with Discovery's even deeper pockets."
This comment makes me sad. The UCI shouldn't be about making money; it should be about making cycling a success and having as many people participating at every level...
