Spotted: Shimano's New Saint Brakes Look Production-Ready

That's a good point. Hmmm... My other concern is I now have to mess with the caliper and bolts, since I un-did them all to get to the pads. Which, normally, you wouldn't do if pad replacement went according to plan. Also...what about visually checking pad wear? Hmmm... Looks clean, tho.

Ergon Launches New GMA and GMS Grips

I used to only run these winged grips when healing up from hand/wrist/arm injury. Then back to regular ones. Now, I just run the GA3's on everything. I see the "bar end trend" and I'm like, I got wings. No need for a bar ends. HA. No seriously, they do help with grabbing the bar and leaning it over like you're a boss. A boss with weak hands, just don't tell anyone ;) Helps with multiple hand locations when you're grinding up, too. Yeah. I'd like to see someone do it better...

I thought Troy Lee already had a patent on all things red and black? No? :D Well it does look fast.

Results: Martina Berta & Martin Vidaurre Kossmann Win Dramatic 2026 Soldier Hollow XC World Cup

Well, if nothing else. This solidifies the fact that I shouldn't go to europe to ride bikes (or ski). The next state over? Yes. And maybe just enjoy what I have here. And I can just drive. Hmmm. Dammit...this is not an advert for Bentonville. But if you Euros come over, yes, Bentonville. Leave the cool spots to the folks who know. Now wait, is this is an advert for Canada? Yes, go there.

Race Highlights: 2026 Soldier Hollow XC World Cup

IDK, maybe bowling is more appropriate for you? Way more predictable of a "course". Or golf? You sound like a bit of a fun hater. So yeah.

I came for the comments and...yeah I feel a joke coming on here: What's the difference between an Amflow and a Honda?

After watching the broadcast. Ok, Euros, and Josh, this is for you: . Umm...Not sure how to say this, but I will just say it: Don't dress like a cowboy. Ever. Unless you rode your horse into town. And have a shotgun and a rope. But you didn't, so don't. HA

Video: What is 'Bjorn Riley's Sketchbook'?

Love to see XC personalities at the WC level. Usually, it's like oh your XC? Yawn. Keep on it Bjorn! You know, he reminds me of the sniper guy/character from Saving Private Ryan. Know what I mean? "Sir, you give me a full suspension bike and my god given skills and we're two days from going home" :)

Trek Factory Racing Show Evie Richards Riding New 32" XC Bike

Pretty sure that was the circumference of her quads. Not both just one. So just one quad. For the squad. With a nice bod. That needs no mod. I'll just see myself out...but first, another vod.

Video: 60 Seconds of Bike Park Shredding from Alyeska Resort in Alaska

My only time to visit AK and Alyeska, a couple years ago. Rainageddon. Didn't see Denali (actually we have a refrigerator magnet that says that, so it must happen often). The tram was open, but couldn't see anything, really. Thought the dark black-ish rock/soil was cool. You know it's not good timing when the best part was riding a tram to the top is the snack shop. :) Would've loved to ridden it. And see more of it! Next time, eh? :)
