That would be a funny and humble team name were it not a typo. Like calling yourselves the Organization of Mediocre. Overall a great list of riders. Nice to see a mix of big flashy names and muddy, solid riders with less flash. Lets hope it leads to continued progression in design and quality.

"We have all-mountain and downhillers riding our 29ers and on every course, in every case, the times are lower and the riders are faster on 29-inch wheels." Whaaaaaaaaaaa? Anyone else find this a bit of a crazy comment? How can that be backed up? The good news is I have independent studies showing that my riders, equiped with titanium unicorns, are currently beating those land speed records set by Sugai's 29er posse and as such biking may be taking a back seat to unicorn jockeying, where the chainstay length has also been optimized, but only in the thoroughbreds.

I can agree with that. I personally would have prefered a bit of a mix of jaw drop media and practical descriptions. It's not a shot at Kona at all (I think Kona has one of the better websites for describing their bikes). It was just kind of a bit of frustration at bike marketing in general. Hype is fun and I want to see these guys ripping and showing me all that these bikes are capable of but coupled with information on what that looks like for me and why. Some of us do care about frame geometry, specs, and technical features and have spent enough time on a bike to notice that. Is there a happy medium? (For example: http://www.pinkbike.com/video/75195/) If I'm going to spend that kind of money on a bike, I'd like to know what I'm getting and how that differs from what I'm not getting... as subtle as that often is. By the way, I did go to the website after watching the video to check out the specifics on the bike so in that regard the ad worked for this impressionable not-so-youth.

Not a whole lot of info in the advert on what changes have been made or what is actually going on in terms of suspension, angles etc that would make their product superior. The video was a lot of fun but in terms of describing the product didn't do much. I wish companies would stop telling me their product will make me piss lightning, conquer the free world and set all land speed records and have enough respect to tell me how or why in a realistic way. Realistically Aggy, Delfs and Sherrard could put together a video of them whipping Pink Tinkerbell themed walmart bikes in a way that would elicit at least six drops of WTF incontinance. I love watching that but am not foolish enough to believe I could do similar if I had a similar product. Rather, just tell me the advantages, novelty etc. of the product please.

Awesome job on the "trucker" stache. Sorry to hear about your father. Good luck with the rest of the month.

I agreed to be part of movember mid october while joking around with some friends. Then October ended and I actually had to man up, honour my poorly thought out commitment, shave the beard and start warming my lip solo. I hated it at first and still kinda do. My wife is not thrilled and I feel like Chris Hanson is around every corner. Creepy. However, Movember is about raising awareness for prostate cancer research and prevention. I've had lots of people in my life effected by cancer and have lost family members to the disease, and I'm still fairly young. So if growing a mustache and looking like I'm one wrong glance away from an amber alert is able to help the cause and perhaps in some small way contribute to saving someone from, or alleaviating some of the discomfort associated with, Cancer, then I'm in. Lets not forget what the stupid staches are for this month. Cheers. If you you wanna donate and don't know anyone donning the lip sweater please feel free: www.mobro.co/SeanLarsen

I found this tech tuesday to be a good one. Never thought to relube the spoke contact point. I find the noisiest part, after I pull and clean everything, is the chain guide (E13 SGS). I pull apart the pulley, clean, and relube as part of my general maintinance but it still ends up sounding like a reliant K car reentering the earths atmosphere when I'm grinding it up a hill after a couple of rides. I also find the biggest thing in keeping the bike quiet is cleaning it. A good clean of everything goes a long way.

Do a bit of research into who Simon Lawton and Lars Sternberg (The instructors of that video) are perhaps before calling them "dumbasses."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFr1BsfhQHw PS. Calling someone "an idiot" is "name calling." Do we want to debate that too? Grow up boys. It is possible to talk about this stuff without it becoming a pissing contest. I've explained this twice but the link above should support what I've been saying. What the "J" stands for is inconsequential. HAve a nice night.

Easy tiger. No need to name call. I think your wrong on this point but may well be a great person. Sorry my questioning of your definitions evoked so much emotion. Relax. I still think your wrong but really don't care that much. Have a good one. Enjoy elevating your bike and calling it whatever you want and I'll do the same.

@we-are-138: It's really not that big of a deal at the end of the day but you are wrong. The reason new names get added is to more clearly identify distinct things...such as a bunnyhop and a j-hop. Yes it's just semantics and you figure it out naturally if you ride enough but they are still different. The importance is in the use. J-hops are important in biking as they are more efficient in clearing obstacles than a "bunnyhop" (Which you have wrongly defined above) A bunny hop requires no weight shift from the rear to the front of the bike. You are just "hopping", as the name implies. A J-hop requires a shift of weight from the back to the front. The front is unweighted, lifted, clears the obstacle, then the weight is shifted to the front, elevating the back, allowing you to clear the obstacle with the rear wheel. Were you to try this with a binnyhop the entire bike would need to remain above the obstacle for the entire length of the bike. Far less efficient and time consuming in a DH situation. This is a stupid argument and I feel petty for commenting again. Why bold definitions that you are pulling out of your own understanding and clearly have no research or backing other than your own experience.
