Maybe the people that were going to buy procore bought the new XT 11 speed upgrade instead as its the same price and makes your bike lighter, not heavier. :P

Bro, don't you know the heavier and more tanklike the bike the more #enduro it is...

 

Next season will see the re-emergence of permatubes and 1m handlebars.

Ah, permatubes. The bane of my childhood.

To be truly ###### one must ride the following:

 

- a bike with an impractically slack headangle, because gravity;

 

- the widest possible tyres regardless of one's cornering ability, because grip;

 

- the widest possible rims, because its very enduro to talk about tyre pressures;

 

- more travel than you will realistically ever require on your local trails;

 

- a backpack with literally all your wordly possessions crammed in there (except a shock pump, because some guy in the US ended himself that way);

 

- brake rotors so large they could stop Casper de Vries' swearing, because speed;

 

- handlebars as wide as your arms can possibly reach, because "leverage";

 

- as short a stem as possible regardless of rider geometry, because "see handlebars for reference";

 

- flat pedals, because Sam Hill;

 

- a dropper post, because well f*ck those things actually do make life worth living.

 

Am I doing it right?
