Could it be to prevent the axle from undoing during pedaling? No idea honestly

Specialized can do no right in the eyes of the haters on here. Even the support they offer in a time of crisis is despicable Come on guys....let it go just this once will you

Exactly yes! They make less sense in the XC world for the normal bloke but a lot of sense in the Enduro/DH space

This is why: https://youtu.be/jl4E9yMHpro I didn’t think I want one until I rode one. If you’re into mtb’ing for the downhills them this is a game changer.

New year but no closer to being able to purchase a YT bike in SA it seems. Last year I gave up trying to get my hands on the new Jeffsy and this year I was very keen on the Decoy. This article gave me hope that it may well be possible: https://bikenetwork.co.za/top-10-2021-emtbs/ Unfortunately Black Sheep Bikes came back to me yesterday saying that YT cannot provide an eta on when they will start shipping to SA. Frustrating for both us and Black Sheep for sure. I guess we'll just have to keep being patient or ride other bikes for now...meh bummer

​Love what they offer: https://www.blackbeardsden.com/

ja, I had both watch and phone on me

I'll look into the auto-pause suggestion since we do take a break after climbing and before descending

Morning peeps, just curious if there are others who also find the apple watch (gen 2 in my case) GPS very inaccurate and inconsistent when the speed picks up? Below are 4 runs up/down Afterburner (Banhoek). Going up things are fine and tracking nicely but the minute we go down it's all over the show. The blue line is my mate's ride (using a Garmin Fenix 3) and it tracks the trail perfectly and consistently every time. The green is mine and it was so inaccurate that strava did not even pick those segments up at all. I've tried apple's suggestion of ensuring calibration is turned on etc. Is anyone using an apple watch which tracks very accurately compared to other sports watches or do I just accept that apple is not as good as other on this front? Currently I'm just telling myself that I'm simply too fast for it

Current industry trends suggest you'll need a reach of 850mm by 2021 so might as well buy an XXL and stay ahead of the curve

Why does our society have this incessant need to bad-mouth the shop every time they experience poor service from an individual​? I hate poor service as much as the next bloke but I always take it up with the shop's management directly. 9 out of 10 times they're going to apologies and attempt to address the problem. Surely, that's a much more constructive and effective approach to tackling poor service than tarnishing their reputation publicly.

Not exactly the same choice but my friend had the Meta AM and Hyrax for weekend. He went with the Meta as he decided he wants an enduro rig so with the suspension travel difference ot wasn’t really a fair fight. I’m a big fan of Pyga but that Commencal sure is a tasty machine as well. Tough one.

Sorry hear about your hard times man, hope it picks up in a big way and soon. ​Everyone is different and I fully understand how/why some people choose not to have kids. But aside from costing me a fortune my kids have taught me a lot, like being (a little) less selfish and how to negotiate, lol. For me personally, if my kids are the reason I'm unable to ever afford XX1 Eagle I'll consider myself a blessed man.

Agreed, many of us have posted stuff while hot under the collar that might not have been thoughtfully worded but it takes a certain level of maturity to concede to that when the red mist lifts.
