shame on product manangers for spec'ing resin pads/rotors on bikes.  Even on kids bikes it should be a no go.

no...  people get offended really easily now.

I run 180 on my Enduro and it’s not really noticeable.  I just run a lil more sag to soak up the small bumps better

Probably why there are so many for sale. We sent a man to the moon over 50 yrs ago but can’t fix a shock

Cypress is the best!  No crowds and always drier.

I was more comparing same manufactured hubs. The Onyx hubs would probably have the least drag out of any hub

Aaron Gwin says you don’t need to pedal out of corners.  

More hub engagement, more drag when coasting as well.

Industry hype train to sell more product.

I personally would never spend the extra $ on Hydra hubs.  The 1/1 hubs are better than the Hydras if you like suspension performance over technical climbing.  I've had mine for 2.5 yrs without a hiccup or any servicing.  #nobrainer

trades/materials are too expensive to build....

Question of the day: will K-Mag and Nico play nice or will they just pretend to be buds for a few races before it goes to fisticuffs?

They'll play as nice as gasly and ocon haha.

Mclaren can suck it without danny ric.

I really hope Mercedes and ferrari are in the title fight that would be best.

Danny Ric doesn't deserve to have to drive at F1... his driving last couple of seasons was abysmal. Ricciardo  finished the 2022 season with a considerable eighty-five point deficit to team mate Norris.

Being a 3rd driver for RB doing PR is much better suited for him.

when it's raining or super damp outside, breathability is a myth.

Hull was a racist and a wife(s) abuser.... I won't shed too many tears.

Is CBC open in winter now? Trailforks has no indication of it being closed.

sign at bottom of mtn says it's closed.  It would be treacherous in the wet snow.

Not old growth but a significant forestry issue.

"Consider for a moment the massive Prince George Timber Supply Area, the largest forest administrative zone in British Columbia, a landmass larger than the Czech Republic.

Most of the readily accessible primary forests in that 80,000-square-kilometre land mass are gone, stripped of their green gold by the logging industry in the space of just 50 years."

I think of a lot of the logging was for pine beetle.  The forest companies and gov't also didn't invest enough into replanting and reman of forestry products for more value add. Hence the position they are in now.  Companies looking at the short term and gov't looking the other way on enforcement on the "forest practices code".

tou.to and Gear Energy are close to 10% divy right now.  Great returns in the O & G.

Although I enjoy it when my quarterly dividends hit my brokerage account [only ~3 more weeks!] I don't hunt for high dividend yields in particular. I'm a boring total return index fund investor. It's a snooze-fest, but it's a dead simple and effective strategy over the long haul.

I just do it with my "fun" money.  Most of the $ is in boring MF's.

The good thing about the big banks screwing their loyal customers over with interest rates on their cash savings is the profits flow through to the shareholders in the form of dividends. The big 5 banks make up ~20% of VCN.

Ha! I feel bad, but every time I hear about big banks gouging their customers I think about the next fat dividend I'll get from my bank stocks.

why I live and work in NV....  7 mins to Seymour.

not a fan of Vancouver, but North Vancouver is the tits.  Best MTB'ing on the planet.
