what bike park in 2022 is designed for keeping the bike planted on the ground though? they are all about the whips and ney-neys, doubles, tabletops, and huck to flat! :)

they arnt as fun downhill as you might think. that step from 30 lbs to 50lbs makes a big difference in how "fun" and playful they are on a descent. #earnyourturns ! to me, the best uses for ebikes are comminuting machines., or as training tools for elite enduro and downhill racers who dont have...

they are also problematic in many cases. espcially for public lands. around here at the local MTB downhill system, people are destroying the trail builders work with e-mtbs. cutting switchbacks on the climbs, spinning the tires in deep mud etc. espcially the unrestricted ebikes or non pedal...

i agreee. gravel bikes are diverging category 1, road riders looking to avoid cars and actually riding gravel roads mostly (like you said, low BB, fast tires). and category 2, mountain bikers who feel mtbs are getting to good or who want to adventure ride more (things like the cross...

im looking into getting an e-cargo bike myself, or maybe an e-fat bike with a trailer.

I guess I don’t quite understand your point. But I dont take cycling comments serious from anyone with a kickstand...... #bikesnob edit: now i get it. you like bamboo rods so my silk line comment must felt like a personal attack. (it wasnt)

i guess you have not heard of the new marketing push, e-bikes :)

when you wear out those tires, put the biggest tubless tire you can fit in there. the bigger the tire the better, and then run a nice low pressure for ultimate grip and comfort.

you got yourself a sweet bike that will last for ages. just keep the rubber side down and post pictures of how you carry your rods on the bike!

lets talk about the REAL use of marketing to sell pointless products. https://headwatersbamboo.com/products/copy-of-eb-series-fly-line lmao

yea, i missed out on the years when i was 0-5 years old at the time... but to be fair my dad had me in a backpack on bikes in the late 80's.. im sure you all were mountain bikers in the 1950s before it was cool. i bet yall even used to poduim the repack races vs tom ritchey! :)

your missing the point. i have nothing agasint vintage gear and i actually have started collecting it. im taking issue with the "its all marketing" played out mindset. bike technology has made giant leaps and bounds in real world use.... its not JUST marketing departments trying to sell stuff...

smh, ok you guys are right. its all marketing not innovation. what would i know though, ive only been mountain biking since 1992 (and i love vintage gear for the record). my bad i will say though, its a very original concept that ive never heard before!

ok what about neoprene waders?? damn markerters and there pushing of useless tech

such a krusty take. im sure we would all rather still be using cantilever breaks and single butted cromoly and innertubes in 26" tires same with double taper fly lines

i use mine as a quiver killer. i can take it bikepacking or fishing and load it up with gear. i can put fast tires on it and go for a fast road ride, and i can race it offroad in the local cyclocross or easy XC mtb races. but for me its primary use is an urban slayer. i can ride all over town...

not since covid lol

i never would have suspected you as a gravel bro!!! cheers, hit me with a strava follow

Kona Fan myself. 2021 Libre CR and a 1999 Kustom, retrofitted to a 1x10 wide range drivetrain. both weigh about 21 lbs with pedals.

i was thinking more along the lines about how the city plans to trespass them from there back lawn and what legal issues that could come from that.
