You mean dogs for the blind are supposed to go running off after anything moving too fast… sounds like that kind of distraction would be the opposite of the training!

Geez, did SRAM get royally cyber-hacked or something?

Perhaps they’re spinning looking for their behind?

Sorry, should have specified which model “Super DH Spherical”

My advice (from experience) would be this helmet, offers best protection & versatility for mtb use, remove chinbar when climbing in warmer weather, snap it back on for flyin’ downhill/tech trails, its still lighter and more ventilated than a full-face DH helmet...

Oops, forgot link…. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/burning-question-where-do-wheel-component-manufacturers-stand-on-tire-inserts.html

Here’s an interesting article regarding inserts… when I switched to the newly released Schwalbe radial tires with Gravity Pro casing (Magic Mary) I ditched the inserts and increased my air pressure about 3 psi. I found the radial tire offers quite noticeable grip and comfort benefits, especially...

I still use Stan’s (after trying Orange & another brand). I do find the Maxxis DD and Schwalbe Gravity casings with 4oz sealant may lose a couple psi in a couple weeks (my auto tires can also lose a couple psi over a few weeks) so I figure its not a big deal and just check ‘em before I ride.

I dont know what pedals you're using but I’d suggest flats (with pins) and 5-10, Crankbrothers or Ride Concepts flat shoes which will give plenty of grip while allowing you to dab if you need to and not be as stressful on your knees (I rode cliplees for 30+ years but found flats better for my 73...

Like Steve, I also use the D2 gauge, however, whichever gauge you use the consistency is indeed most important so using the same gauge is important in order to set your pressure consistently prior to each ride. BTW, the same holds true for your fork/shock gauge.

As for insurance companies… in many areas of CA the insurance companies have cancelled (“non-renewal”) homeowners’ policies arbitrarily rather than truly on a risk basis. My former and now non-renewed policy was geld by the state’s largest insurer on a postal zip code basis despite our having...

I suppose my question would be: What, specifically, are you referring to in “lack of preventative measures”?

Historically, many if the areas currently burning were not populated by multiple millions of human inhabitants living in burnable structures extending there occupancy into forests and scrublands and planting decorative vegetation. That, combined with an historic weather event (extreme wet...

I spent my middle & high school years in Sierra Madre and also have lived in SF Bay area for years. I have friends in SoCal who fortunately have avoided the devastation of the current fires although they are traumatized by the scope and anticipated after-effects.

Couldn't agree more, been riding since 80's when my son got involved so I've known some of his group for a while now which is a good thing since I find fewer of us in our 70's riding. When I'm with a group I ride at their pace, especially when climbing (lol, on DH I'm not at their pace) and...

This is Fox answer to question, see attached:

Mine is a 2022, had the larger one (updated now to 2025 internals)… I wonder if Fox has incorporated that into all forks? I suppose one could go to LBS and measure 38’s on a new model, non ebike?

As far as I know Philip Fox only supplies one version now and also did away with their original “e-tune” of the damper as well.

Yeah, that is confusing. Cardboard food/milk containers are also waxed… just so they don't leak, hiking boots also get a wax-base waterproofing and carnueba wax is used to protect tabletops too. Thanks

I too use the Silca wax but I’m not sure why I would need to relube mid-ride in the rain? Im in NorCal and when it rains it pours… just not so often.
