also note that the rim only deflects a couple of mm's after a huge impact so by Zipp saying that their wheels have more vertical compliance is hogwash.

Zip states that:

Coleman's Notes; the rims are a carbon single wall design. The design is said to be Moto inspired, the goal being more vertical compliance than normal mountain bike rims.

as Tim mentioned,  MTB's have big tires and big suspension.  Curious on how much movement is on a road bike?

I would really like to know how much the rim moves given same spoke count and tension between wheels. I bet an average rim only moves a couple of mm.  Lateral movement would be vastly different imo.

How much do rims actually move on the vertical plane when riding?  I think very little and definitely not noticeable.  The tires are going to compress way more than the rims for compliance.   More junk science from the bike industry.

Sports is all about being live...  watch the recap later.

I see lots of carbon wheels break/crack so the argument that they outlast Al is kind of a myth.  A friend of mine went through 3 WR1 agent rims in a month.  I think an Al rim with some kind of an insert is the way to go.

The main issue I had with Cushcore was taking the tire on and off. If you can't plug a hole on a trail, you are out of luck as well. Better off running thicker casing tires imo.... 

the NukeProof ARD does look interesting as something additional.

Are these the same wheels that come on the Stumpy EVO?  Those Traverse wheels weigh in at 2.3 kgs.

he wasn't/isn't mainstream but his ideas are becoming that.  I'm just surprised it took this long but incremental changes is what the bike industry is all about.

word on the street is that the log on BoogieMan is getting taking out as well....

DNV goes out and maps ALL the trails and shares it with others.  Fromme and Seymour included.

Were they patrolling darkside or rogue trails on general Seymour?

They can only officially patrol in Provincial Parks boundaries.... TrailForks has where the boundaries are. Going up Old Buck is Parks.

There is a pretty open relationship with Park, DNV and Metro so I wouldn't be surprised if trail knowledge is shared.

I saw two Park Rangers on ebikes yesterday.  They were going up Old Buck exiting on Deep Cove Lookup and saw them coming down the road on CBC later on.   Looks like they are trying keep the riff raff off the rogue trails.  $115 fines if you get caught.

couldn't be any worse than what is there now.  Can't believe that work was acceptable.

Noticed some of the new Creekside trails are on the 2019 map: https://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/-/media/whistler-blackcomb/products/explore-the-resort/activities-and-events/mountain-bike-park/orientation-guide/2019_bike_park_map_final.ashx

This must be Missfire:

can't wait to check that out

how all trails should be....  nice to see less bikepark trails in the bikepark.

MRP has a lightweight(is) dual crown fork that's adjustable in travel.

the only way to close a trail is to cover it up....  not everyone uses TrailForks.

Good way to get an idea is scroll back to last year's reports, last year microclimate mid/late June, LOTS mid July

Aye, did have a look at that, but with this years snow pack being a lot shallower I was thinking it might be gtg a little earlier. Then again, I suspect it'll also depend on how much remedial work needs done.

Microclimate is free of snow and running great. No signs that it was closed.

Worca don't tend to put up signs but update trailforks

no idea why the trail is closed... it's snow free, dry and only 1 tree down. If this was the down on the Coast, all the trails would be closed all the time.

Not all of us are on TrailForks.
