I thought in Crankworx response, they said they pretty much catered to all the riders concerns except for the appearance fee.

I think social media has been a blessing and a curse for slopestyle/freeriders. In the early days of Crankworx, social media wasn't what it is today. I remember the days of getting mountain bike magazines in the mail and first seeing pictures of events, then you would have to wait until New World Disorder or some other movie to see actual video of events. Those DVD's I would order were usually the only way to see these athletes do crazy tricks. This truncated the number of times I would see these riders and tricks to a few times a year...

Crankworx isn't their employer though. Their employer is their sponsors. Crankworx is the competition they enter, and the platform granted to them to show their skills, market themselves as athletes & ambassadors, and ultimately prove their dollar value to said sponsors.

Some of the photos make it look like a roughed in semi-legal skidder lol. Something only the locals would know about. I bet it's gonna be sweet.

I'm not sure an Mtb forum is really the best venue to argue about rape conviction rates to be honest.

Ah, would that be the story where the black team manager lost his job in the fight against racism?

From PB-"I just found out about the allegations. And I have to say, I’m not shocked. There was always something about him that rubbed me the wrong way, even when he was seeing some success, I wasn’t stoked." You see this is the level of informed discourse we should aspire to on here.

no, though Nic and Kailey came from KHS, ARI is the re-brand of Fezzari bikes. The ARI team has nothing to do with KHS, they have a different team this season. This is fully ARI bikes based (including team management etc.)

The Vojo article has been updated to include a response from Thibaut.. https://www.vojomag.com/news/thibaut-daprela-sexprime-on-a-clairement-e… Vojo managed today to get in direct contact with Thibaut Dapréla who spoke publicly about his double departure in just a few months, first from the Commençal team, then from Canyon CLLCTV. Here are the pilot's reactions. Before we begin, let’s provide some context. This Thursday, March 14, Thibaut Dapréla announced on his social networks his separation, by mutual agreement, from the Canyon CLLCTV team where he had only just arrived (at the beginning of January) from the Commencal Muc-Off team where he had been since his...

There are going to be no winners from this situation whatever the outcome. There are less enlightened corners of the internet where this can be 'debated'. Probably best we leave it be for now I think.

Sooo does this mean Dante gets to go back up to the Factory team?

Instagram mostly.

Unless it’s been edited, there’s no further information in this article

re: seatpost sizes - actually, yes we do need the stiffness of the larger 34.9 tube. Not really a "performance" thing, just a reliability of dropper posts thing. I think we blew past the optimum design specs for a 31.6mm tube when droppers reached about 170mm travel so making posts longer than that is a huge challenge if you only have 31.6mm to play with!

So, this promotion really says nothing...sort of like a politician. "The most durable DT Swiss spoke in its weight category to date.." What is the "category'? DH, XC, 'enduro'....? What is the targeted application? Are they 2.0, 1.8 or different? I have DT on most of my bikes since forever, but this is a pretty lame press release.

Switch back to 26 and get the intense Dh tires. Pinch proof

I think his comment was more that 150bpm would be erroneously low.
