  1. It happened again... Yesterday, on my way to work, the rear brake on my #KTM #Freeride seized up. It had happened a few times before in winter time and I read somewhere that it could have been caused by road salt and gunk which I believed to be plausible.
    I did look for a solution about a year ago but did not find any (other than machining an adapter bracket and putting brembo calipers on the bike).
    So was very pleased to find out that now there is a 3rd-party rear caliper available that is plug&play at a somewhat reasonable price (250,-ish€).
    It's the first upgrade in my 3 years of ownership and I really hope this solves the issue.
    It still is unbelievable that KTM and #Formula got away with this dangerous design flaw (there are many reports of freeriders having the same or similar problems with the formula brakes).
    I haven't found a replacement for the front brake though but it seized only once and never again after I changed the brake fluid so fingers crossed.

  2. Yesterday I did a combination of a small skitour and Freeriding at Stoos SZ with a group of teens and senof their parents from SAC Winterthur.
    First we ascended near Firenstökli. After lunch break we skied back to the ski resort and used the infrastructure for several off piste rides. Great to have motivated kids who pushed me to ski down the steepest parts with them as the grand finale.

  3. Barnaby Joyce predicting that not only will the sky fall, we’ll also run out of food.

    When this doesn’t happen no media outlets will remind him he was wrong.

    And Joyce will never be asked if he holds Gina’s maaate responsible for any supply problems we are suffering.

  4. Der Berg ist noch nie zum Propheten gegangen.
    Du gehst zu ihm. Und er verhandelt nicht.

    Lawinen entstehen selten „plötzlich“.
    Sie werden ausgelöst — von Ego, Gruppendruck und GoPro-Mut.
    Fahrkönnen ersetzt keine Lawinenkunde. Technik ersetzt kein Denken.
    Wer Warnzeichen ignoriert, fährt kein Abenteuer — sondern Roulette.

  5. youtube.com/watch?v=r1sJ3EplDz8 Snow (avalanche, I think) conditions cancel #FIS #Freeride World Tour #fwt Georgia 2026 event. I think that means next one is Alaska... where is the date for that..

  6. Rewatched the 2025 edition of #RedBull #Rampage #freeride #MTB recording a couple days ago and I've been having thoughts:

    1) Love it that the women have progressed onto these big mountain stages and for the most part show a great style and control on such dangerous terrain.

    2) OTOH, the men need to severely rethink how dimwitted it is to yeet yourself off a 30 meter cliff with inches separating a clean line from death for a mountainbike gameshow hosted by a caffeinated soft drinks company.

  7. I've really never been a TV sports person. But, my new addiction is #fis #freeride. Sad that they traded Kicking Horse (BC, Canada) for some hill in Alaska. Waiting for first rider (youtube) from Thursday's event at Baqueira, Spain... so naturally I need to see if I can go there... Why no #train there. Spain seems to suck for rail.

  9. Poignant video retrospective and farewell to GT Bicycles from Hans "No Way" Rey. Hans and GT defined mountain biking in the 1990's. GT's demise has been a long time coming, but really marks the end of an era. youtube.com/watch?v=nIHRHPU12y I was scheduled to lead I group ride with Hans at the Kenda Bicycle Festival in western Massachusetts back in 2006 or something, but he was scratched from the schedule due to (IIRC) a personal loss. #mtb #mountainbike #freeride #hansrey
