A good shot at brendogs fork from his insta story. You can see all the dials on the right side. You can also obviously see the TRP brakes. But they still seem to be riding a Shimano drivetrain

Who cares. This is the 2018 racing rumours thread. Not 2018 what are the old racers who aren’t fast any more but have unpleasant personalities and aren’t capable of re-skilling to get other jobs in the bike industry thread.

This has been brought up before but specialized on magura brakes. This was on Miranda Millers Instagram story

It also looks like an e*13 bash guard as well

Im guessing he dropped them. The Ellsworth is probably the worst performing high end bike currently being made. Even the sugarcoated bike mags couldn't shy away from criticizing how bad this bike was. So coming of an intense to that...thing, must have been too much to handle.

It looks like the Specialized Enduro Team could be on Rotor cranks, Shimano drivetrain next season. Is this a Sunrace cassette ?

It has a huge extender, dunno about the brand but the mech is a Shimano.

The biggest cog does look like a Sram item, but that jump sure is too big. Custom cassette?
