word on the street is norco has a similar problem with their shimano motor ebikes as canyon. those big batteries were not reliable either
Same non-Shimano vendor as Canyon used?
Hayes Brakes off Frameworks
In the comments Neko says an opportunity came up with another brand. Sounds like Frameworks is breaking up with Hayes, not the other way around. Also great that it appears Frameworks is bringing in the suitors and getting paid.
Mille Johnset is off Canyon

afaik a german batterie company is responsible for norco‘s batteries, dunno who‘s the culprit @ canyon
Sounds like an amicable breakup, maybe they can still be friends?

Scott saying goodbye to Marine Cabirou on insta too
Ryder Lawrence off of Intense
Gonna laugh when it’s Lewis
That stache is one of a kind.
Frameworks will be on TRP drivetrain and brakes next year 👌
Two of a kind actually
In one of the clips from the year-end edit from Frameworks, it looked like Angel was using TRP DHR-evos at MSA. Hard to tell, but it was a flash of gold. Interesting at least that they might have been using TRP for part of this season too.
As expected, but also unannounced:
Dane Jewett off Pivot

Well, I guess we now know for sure why BK was/Is chasing points. Piviot clearing house, But maybe to sign 1 great rider with points?? We will find out soon.
According to the G.O.A.T Anne Caroline Chausson Loris Vergier has joined Commencal for the 2025 season.
She mentions this in the En Roue Libre podcast:

I swear that "hack" was staged, commencal will stoop to any sort of wild shit for attention lol
also, the Norco shimano batteries that were no good are made by BMZ. Mine has died a few times now. Pain in the ass.
only thing w/ the hack being fake is that there are no other posts in their feed at all. pretty gutsy move to nuke years worth of posts for a PR stunt.
eh Taylor Swift did the same thing when she launched an album. You can archive vs delete. It looks like a staged marketing thing. You can't not have 2 factor with that many followers and the notifications for unknown log ins would be numerous.
if the hack was fake/publicity stunt, then the "reboot" post is exceptionally deceitful. i have to believe the hack is real considering this post. fwiw, their reels seem unaffected.
The Canyon ones are made by Trendpower (Simplo) if I remember right. At least the manufacturing is done by them.
yeah i just checked instagram after I posted my comment, no way you would do that on purpose.
Rudi Eichhorn off FMD and "big changes ahead" according to the latest "How we roll" episode.
Didn't say anything about Oli Zwar.
All female team? New frame sponsor?
Oli Zwar said in this podcast that he's resigned with FMD for next year - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGHV3bx33Yg&ab_channel=BeforeTheBlowUp
Marine Cabirou off Scott
