Erm, you seem to be very sure on this, but let me ask you quick: based upon... what? It's an honest question. Most of us interpret what riders do or say, in order to try to understand where they are heading. I am curious what the base is to the ”Dak to Mondraker” rumor is, considering that he suggested that there will be no major changes for him. Whereas a change of frame is a huge change. Or maybe you have some inside knowledge that we obviously lack and you know this for a fact, but can't talk about it. I am looking at the people who liked your comment and I consider this could be a thing too. Just for the record: I am interested in the mechanics of the rumor, how it came to life, not trying to argue with like minded DH racing fans; we are all in here because we love this.
Cheers,
Mx
The bike world’s lust for 3d printing is hilarious to me.
Dak seems pretty tight with his mechanic who was not listed in that Mondraker announcement, which makes me lean towards him not ending up there. My guess is he ends up with Gwin, but I don't have any good guesses on what the frame supplier would be.
Nope. Not confirming anything other than none of his stories are on his new ride. All are on his old GT bikes
I believe neko said the spesh suspension designer guy offered & gave him hour(s) of advice over video chat (poss directly after meeting at a race?)
Eddie with the comedy as always
Frameworks news release says Specialized will supply them with E-Bikes and DJ bikes.
Who has seen the Windrock course preview on their IG site from 2 days ago. Who's voice is that? Somebody with 100% gloves on. Sounds like Dak. The top tube has a sticker of a Yeti , but when you look at the headtube of the bike you see the Big S. Looks like brake TRP levers and a Fox fork. RENTHAL handle and stem.
That was Jordan Bouldin...Works at Windrock and I believe is a coach with Gravity Academy.
all correct.
Yeah just finished watching a video of Dakota talking and that is not his voice on the course preview.
Rental stem.
Definitely doesn’t own it
Good eye
Dad, is there at least a date that can be shared for Ryan’s new team launch?
I think Mark Wallace signs with Forbidden and Brook signs with Mondraker’s recently announced factory team
Dak to MS Intense
Gwin to Mondraker and becoming the U.S. distributer.

Thank you for the minute chapter content breakdown-huge value.
UK flavor team news today, Privateer will be supporting local enduro ripper Christo Gallagher.
I believe in the next couple weeks, before Feb 1 for sure.
Brayton to GT?
Im onboard with Wallace getting a contract with Forbidden which would explain Why their Junior is moving on after a great season.
Brook back to mondraker would be a shocker though.
Spotted EX MS Mondraker rider Mike Jones being handing a New 2024 Mondraker Summum at Dyfi Bike park last weekend.
Seems to be riding with Bristol Based “Sterlands Cycle Service” riders who I know Mark Sterland the owner and Josh the Manager worked for MS Mondraker before.
Apparently they're partnering up with Mondraker UK to develop a WC/National Team with Mike and another couple of riders
Spotted in an Adam Brayton Vlog too!! Now this is something to get excited about. The King of the valleys is back!!!
Geeeet up mikeeey
I'd love to see him get back to the level he was at when he was team mates with Sam Hill.
Judging by the way he was riding Saturday it won't take him long at all!
Me too; guy's an absolute lunatic on a bike!
Funny ya mention the boss of Sterlands....he was in LA with Tuhuto according to a story I saw on Tuhuto's insta the other day. Isn't he the head mechanic of MS Racing?
Lemoine to Commencal
