Interview: Talking About Tires With Bontrager, e*thirteen, Michelin, and More
@ponyboy24: the answer is absolutely non. They’re ether being paid to ride a tyre or they’re on Maxxis and yes they’ll have to do a lot more than sponsor a bunch of teams and pay a load of sites and channels to promote their tyres for me to spend money on continental tyres after their previous efforts and the people who have got them are hardly raving about them. They’re the 2023 Michelin’s remember a couple of years ago you was saying the exact same thing and you soon went back to Maxxis with your tale between your legs. Remember the Magic Mary? No me neither but not so long ago you was saying the exact same thing yet everyone’s still running Maxxis.

Review Addendum: Bluegrass Legit Carbon Helmet - I Tested It More by Crashing
You don’t have to get the carbon model. The cheaper versions are as safe. I just couldn’t be bothered with the neck ache of holding up a heavy helmet at the bike park all day so really that extra £200 for the lighter weight really pays for itself.

@ponyboy24: I can’t find any information anywhere which tells you all you need to know when a tyre company won’t tell you the durometer of the rubber they’re using but it feels pretty firm to the touch and it’s a world away from max grip compound. It’s that compound that sets maxxis apart from the competition. Until someone matches that compound nobody’s topping maxxis.

Pinkbike Poll: Clipless vs Flat - What's Your Pedal Preference?
@Stinky-Dee: yep but they didn’t really start creating ruts until around lockdown when everyone went out and bought one. Seems to be dying a death around here thank god. They’ve all seemed to have gone back to golf.

@Tmackstab: Or maybe they just rebranded the same old shit and paid a bunch of promo and you just lapped it up without thinking? The compounds aren’t as good and you can’t get different compounds with different casings, the casings won’t be as good and the tread pattern is like the android version of maxxis tyres if not direct copy’s.

Must Watch: 'The Pilot' - A Full-Length Documentary on Amaury Pierron's Dramatic 2022 Season
@BamaBiscuits: haha love him, he’s my current favourite rider on the Circuit. He’s got everything but what I like about him most is what sets him apart from the competition is he’s willing to go crazier than everyone else. Big fan of Bruni too,

@ponyboy24: lol no. Continental haven’t gone from producing trash like the Baron and Kaiser to just suddenly topping the DHF and Asserguy overnight. I’m sure they’re a lot better than they used to be but that’s not saying much and they won’t be troubling that Max grip compound.

That’s the “I’m getting down this trail” and I don’t care how steep it is set up.

Opening Day Survey 2023: What People Are Riding at the Whistler Bike Park
@skimtb1: My code’s definitely have more power than my XT’s but they both have plenty of power the biggest difference is modulation. You’ve got more control with codes so you can brake on steeper slippery terrain more effectively. XT / XTR 4 pots are a massive improvement over saints which have too much power and no modulation. Not ideal for riding steep slippery terrain with brakes that operate like light switches.

Opening Day Survey 2023: What People Are Riding at the Whistler Bike Park
@skimtb1: Sounds about right for you. Trade one of the better options from the current crop of brakes with one of the worst from 10 years ago. Have you just been ruining saints all this time and haven’t ever ridden anything else and don’t know how dated they’ve become?
