Condensed DH Run 1 (Family Guy) I hit the trails yesterday with the boys on Moose Mountain just outside of Bragg Creek, AB. There was a minimal amount of climbing as we had vehicle shuttles hence most of the hard work was done for us. Nevertheless, the few ascents that remained were brutal made...

Rise and Shine 🌞 The oppressive heat hasn’t prevented us from our daily rides and early morning outings are generally the coolest time to be out. A very comfortable 16C by the time we left the house this morning at 8am. We spotted this woman whizzing by on her Creo last week and...

SRAM have been working behind the scenes for a while now developing the UDH specifically for mtbs and getting manufacturers to adopt the standard. There are currently over 200 models of mountain bikes that now rely on the UDH. Here’s where I think the T-Type drivetrain excels. If omitting...

I swapped out the stock tranny for the entry level GX T-type drivetrain on my Epic Evo and haven’t regretted it since doing so several weeks ago. Acquiring one at almost ½ the price was reason enough to pull the trigger. Apparently, the seller’s bike was not UDH compatible. The only niggle that...

I thought my S2 Levo which tips the scales at 23.25 kg (51lbs) needed to shed some weight. That includes a 700wh battery, heavier Magpeds and a 200g bash guard.

Ever wonder what emtbs on the World Cup circuit weigh? It might surprise you.

Ever get the feeling that you’re being shadowed?

Well said. However, his need to be always right likely developed long before this thread. Time for me to move on and cease further interaction as it only ends up expending energy talking in circles in an attempt to defend one’s POV. To the OP who I hope has garnered sufficient input relative to...

It might simply be the case of being a one trick pony. Any other disciplines outside of gravel riding may not appear on his radar. We should be endorsing all styles of riding regardless of what type of machine we choose to ride or which region of the globe we hail from. I’m just glad that there...

It's been sweltering here as well. Glad to see you get out on the Nose. Lots of fond memories riding the Trance.

I never realized how popular it is here but it doesn’t surprise me given the vast amount of rangeland riders are able to access. I can’t see myself getting into the sport as I have more than enough on my plate to keep me busy. Still, it’s hard to ignore when you see where it can take you...

Many people choose to blur the lines between disciplines and shouldn’t feel dictated as to how they ride whether it’s more suited to road or gravel. In this case, I agree with @mschwett that the Creo 2 could serve dual roles even though most would be inclined to purchase one for riding gravel...

My carbon road bike is a lightweight racer focused on performance with geo and components that compliment it. It’s also my daily ride and I’m really quite fond of it. For this reason, I plan on using it to do several 2–3-day mini tours on an overseas trip in the fall and the only mods that I...

Now why couldn’t you just go along with it and savor the fame for a bit longer? Cuz you’re just a stand-up guy. :cool:

Here’s why I think the AMflow Pro emtb deserves special merit. If you’ve ever ridden a full power emtb, the first thing that you might notice about it is its weight. The task of lifting such a machine in general is not to be taken lightly even more when doing so repeatedly over downed trees or...

@Jeremy McCreary - Can I interest you in more lawn candy? You could probably fertilize or weed your entire front yard using just one boom extension. Case sprayer being driven is fire engine red or JDeere in classic turf green.

School of Rock!! 👍

I run tubeless on both my epic evo as well as my Levo for that very reason. However, like you I just find it much more convenient to run tubes on the fleet including our road bikes plus we have yet to experience punctures on our local roads.

DJI has made it known all along that their system will be made available to other bike manufacturers as well. Where that goes is anybody’s guess but one can’t refute that the major bike makers will be keenly interested in gaining any edge at all in what is a very competitive industry. From a...

You would also be the talk of the hood once they see you pulling out of the driveway with your Surface hitched to the back of it. Go for the small frame Wildcat…she’ll never even notice. ;)
