Sounds like Kirk Mcdowall is continuing to make a name for himself with Devinci for 2019. Have word that Blinki is sticking with Norco.

I got nothing other then a prediction. Gwinn to Intense as part of a deal selling Intense to a major corporation.

My guess they have more $ going to UCI teams

Did you include juniors? Finn won on 27.5.

Nope. Just ban 29rs. Make 27.5 mandatory. Otherwise we will see 30's etc.

Re 29'r in DH. Luke Steobel has done it now for a couple year at the NW cup events. Won it last year. https://www.rootsandrain.com/rider13549/luke-strobel/results/

Na. With the right paint I'm buying one.

Considering he is selling his Eastons online and everything else seems to be strategically blacked out on this pic, it does look like DT is the wheel of choice, or he's making a statement

Ethirteen have really pulled off a big move here. I'm blown away DT-Swiss aren't the wheels considering they held up the way they did during that amazing run he had.

I'm guessing Gwin is off TLD. Stikman had a post on his thread (appears to be down?) talking about how it's hard to keep Pro's longterm. My Guess KTM/YT Alpinestars/Fox

I heard Gwin was joining a northwest team; Rippers Racing, they have a beer sponsor!
