Pinkbike Poll: Do You Use Your Climb Switch?
Yep. I thought this is a really big climb I best put my climb switch on for this last weekend which basically guarantees you’re going to do that big descent with it on as well. Best thing to do is to remove the switch all together and throw it into the sea.

Henry's Waffle House: All-Mountain Bikes Are Back, and They're More Pointless Than Ever
DH bikes and 170mm enduro bikes are slow and boring to ride on trails they’re not designed to be ridden on and just pumping up your shock isn’t really a long term solution for buying the wrong bike. Less travel is just faster, more responsive, more efficient and more fun until they’re not and you’re getting rattled around and beaten up. All depends on what you ride. Theres absolutely nowhere around here where I’d be faster on a DH bike and probably less than a handful trails which would worry a big travel enduro bike. 150mm ish is perfect for around here. Enough to take the sting out of the trails but not too much that it affects your ability to hop and pedal or the responsiveness that you get with too much travel. If I lived near a bike park it would be different.

@lkubica: getting downvoted because you said dying instead of dead is pretty petty at this point.

There’s little danger of that when the alternative is 750g cassettes.

Greg Callaghan Reveals 2024 Racing Plans
@wolftwenty1: I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. He’s legally blind in one eye and runs his bars out of alignment to compensate. Mad Lad.

Spotted: Next Generation Zeb from RockShox - Taipei Cycle Show 2024
@lkubica: haven’t seen a single one. RS has a better stiffer chassis throughout their entire range with the exception of the 40. The joint between the crown and steerer is the weakest part on any single crown fork and that’s where fox seems to be struggling watch any huck to flat video for proof. RS has a much more robust joint that’s way less likely to creak though still a common fault.

@lkubica: stiffer chassis / crown way less likely to start creaking, more reliable / less maintenance. Performance wise it depends on who you ask some people say Fox some people say RS so giving the benefit of doubt say they’re both pretty similar. So add all that up plus the fact you get a free fork thrown in for your hardtail if you go with RS makes it an absolute no brainer for anyone who’s not racing. If you’re a racer Fox is great choice as you’ve got support at every event and the fact it needs more maintenance and is more likely to break less of an issue.

@TheSlayer99: You can make arguments for the damper on the 38 but that’s about it. Everything else is better on the Zeb biggest being the chassis and the reliability but like you said Fox is significantly more expensive, it should be significantly better not might have a nicer damper depending on who you ask but worse everywhere else including service times and the fact you can get a pike with the change makes the Zeb a much better deal all things considered.

@TheSlayer99: In the UK you can buy a Zeb or Lyrik and a pike select for your hardtail for the same price as a 38 or 36, plus RS has the stiffer chassis, more reliable crown / less likely to creak, generally more reliable, needs less maintenance and has a better / faster warranty service and arguably better performance throughout the range except the 40 and easier it set up.
