Review: The New Marin Alpine Trail is More Adjustable & Capable Than Ever
Lighter oil. Although you’ll lose some compression too, and it doesn’t have that much to begin with.

Review: The New Marin Alpine Trail is More Adjustable & Capable Than Ever
@p3riderforlife: I’m 150lbs and ride a large and all the Charger 3s have too much rebound for me. It’s a thing.
I like reviews from different size people.

Review: Sweet Protection Primer Mips Helmet
"... one that doesn't look like you hit the trails after a sci-fi cosplay convention"
Love the reference to the previous helmet review

Review: Commencal's Meta Power SX Signature Packs a Punch for the Price
Here in Santa Cruz we’ve seen a big increase in the pressure on trails in the last couple years, everything is eroding pretty quickly. Some of that increase is more people riding and some of it is from more laps on e-bikes. It’s impossible to tell which is the primary.
Galbraith opening up is a unique experiment. It’s also much better set up for mixed mtb and emtb riding with mostly wide road climbs and a top quality trail crew.

@RadBartTaylor: yeah, we’re all going the same speed on the downhills, shuttle, e-bike, or pedal bike.
The uphill singletrack passing is a pain for e-bikes and mtbs alike

@mikekazimer: I see Galbraith has opened up to e-bikes, I’d be interested to hear how wear and tear on the trail system changes (or not) in the next year

I should add there are no car/bike shared dirt roads in Santa Cruz… I agree that’s annoying

@RadBartTaylor: I think shuttling is totally different. The trucks drive on the road and I ride up the single track. When mtbs and eebs share an uphill singletrack there are big speed differences and lots of interactions.

Photo Report: Fast & Loose at the 2024 Sea Otter Dual Slalom
This course was challenging but it wasn’t fun to ride. A lot of “it is what it is” comments in the expert and pro practice on Friday.
