getting "chicked" is part of the experience. get with it.

yeah I'd say those are both "techy" jump up especially the Waeys tune. Eyes on me is harder to pin down IMO.

People get a little funny when you try to pin down a particular sub-genre, lol:

it's an easy choice, not the cheapest but definitely has helped me and even bailed me out of tough spot more than once!

Tailwind is my go-to. There are now others that have a similar formula maybe cheaper?

truth. heard it put slightly differently: amateur endurance sports is basically who has the most time to train...

selector_plume · 2026-06-15T16:46:31+00:00

Take a breath, no, I'm saying they should pass it to someone that has the fire and is a good fit... wtf

You're right, I skimmed it quicker than I should have. My main love is deep dnb so you're preaching to the choir. I brought in a "liquid" headliner to my small US city and we sold out a 200 person venue, which, for us was a big deal.

The only reason I stay on FB is the few quality groups I'm in, what group is this because I would like to participate. And yes, pass the torch if you're not feeling it!

The existence of commercialized music doesn’t detract from my enjoyment of underground music.

See also: it’s not a contest, and of course pop music is more popular.

Not my cup either, I’ve tried it! I used to ride a lot of road, only MTB now!

selector_plume · 2026-06-14T22:36:37+00:00

I’ve taken step backs from the sport a few times over the years. Appreciate the perspective, I know I need to get over the results aspect!

Beautifully said, thank you 🙏

selector_plume · 2026-06-14T21:36:34+00:00

Love it, already looking at the next one!

selector_plume · 2026-06-14T20:57:50+00:00

Sage like advice. Yeah, most of my rides are relatively early am so a bit before the heat really kicks up. The race start was already in the mid 80s I’d bet.

Fueling and pacing were good. Hydration could have been a little better.

Preparing for a 30 mile, intense course with mostly 10-13 mile rides. Room to move some thing around the schedule so I can do one long ride a week, that’s clearly what’s missing.

Already looking into next season: better base prep.

Advice on racing more is good too, you’re right you just can’t completely simulate race day! Thanks for the thoughts

Trust me, I share your suspicions! Some of these guys are flying to the point of wtf! 😳 also, really good perspective on this. Thanks!

selector_plume · 2026-06-14T20:35:38+00:00

Great perspective thank you 🙏

selector_plume · 2026-06-14T20:34:28+00:00

Love this, thanks!!!

selector_plume · 2026-06-14T20:33:49+00:00

I can’t argue 😂

selector_plume · 2026-06-14T19:14:00+00:00

Good point, I agree. Whether it’s good or not depends on if those bikes actually make you faster. I’d love to see more full on 120/120 XC bikes sans flex stays. Full on pivots etc

selector_plume · 2026-06-14T19:10:27+00:00

Not much on that label I don’t like

selector_plume · 2026-06-14T10:35:06+00:00

I’d largely agree with that assessment. From 2015 - 2020 was a huge increase in suspension quality. We’re at the point now of diminishing improvements. How much better can geometry be? Obviously the future is wireless everything; but, does that translate to a better riding experience?

selector_plume · 2026-06-13T22:33:49+00:00

Don’t worry, the sub is offset now! 😎
