Really bugs me that aesthetics dictate so much with mountain biking.

8/22/2023 5:03pm I would ask where in the rules it says you don’t get UCI points for not placing in a qualifying spot or completing a finals run but you could just as easily ask where it says you should get them. After reading Chapter XI of the UCI MTB rules the only place where scoring UCI points at world cups is...

Horrible finish bridge is gone! now there's a grassy turn and a shark-fin to the finish.

8/22/2023 10:01am The track looked awesome last year, hopefully they've added a couple more corners to make some separation/forgiveness to mistakes and the weather holds off until after finals. I'm reading the rule book and 4.11.013 makes it seem like UCI points are awarded on the same scale as standing points at each race, I don't see anything excluding UCI points from...

8/14/2023 10:16pm Would you be interested in an XL Transition Spire Carbon full bike or XXL Aluminum frame and shock? You could even ride it before buying if you'd want as I live in Durango. I'm wanting to sell my trail bikes to get a DH bike as I grew up riding nothing but DH and have been very unimpressed by anything...

Top 60 in jr men and 30 jr women. Only 52 men so all qualify by default. But there were 32 women. Not sure how many dropped.

I'm still really unsure about the points, there just seems too many available for qualifying and semi's, its taken away the magnitude of actually winning the race. You could win every single final of the season but still not win the overall which would be so underwhelming and disappointing. you wouldn't even have to do badly in quali's and semi's, a 5th & 6th plus the win you would come out with 365 for the race and you're easily come away behind someone who came 2nd in each run (410 total). I know the season overall rewards consistency but downhill...

It takes a couple of clicks but if you go to the site you will see that the PANZER 'boxes' include 1 insert and 1 bottle of 125ml sealant so you will be fine and have enough sealant per insert and the marketing team won't need to be fired and can live to fight another day.

Shortening courses (less time) doesn't make any difference for the broadcast. They're not showing full runs (at least at the first 2 rounds) so it doesn't change the broadcast duration. Unless they're changing intervals based on typical course time.

Which tires (f/r) would Dakotah and Aaron run for Big Bear park laps? These look cool and I’ll be purchasing them for my brother’s DH bike after wrecking his tires last year.

My interpretation of the streaming sentence is that if you live in the discovery+ countries mentioned (and you are subscribed), you will get to stream racing, otherwise you only get on-demand. That would mean anyone in the Americas that has a discovery+ subscription would only get replays, not live streaming. You still get to stream on GCN+ and the Eurosport app, since the * is not beside those options. GCN+ does not have a free tier at the moment, so it looks like racing will be behind a paywall. I would assume there would be highlights or recaps on discovery+/GMBN...

adamdigby Added a comment about press release EWS Becomes a UCI World Cup Event + Changes to World Cup DH Format Announced
12/17/2022 1:58pm
Rules relating to UCI World Cup Teams-- 4.18.001 Elite teams that have athletes of multiple disciplines under their tent are limited to 10 racers, which is the same as teams with singular event focus. Seems odd to keep that the same and could be tough for a Yeti Factory team trying to have all three disciplines under a singular entity. Elite teams can also have temporary replacement riders to fill in for sick/injured riders, this could lead to a possible upset again like Josh Button in Cairns 2016 filling in on Kona for a 5th. Teams may also "request" the...

Rules that apply to UCI World Cup-- 4.11.001 You can now be apart of a registered UCI Elite or registered normal team and be qualified to enter the race, no points required. I hope young Americans take full advantage of this. 4.1.002-003 Top 10 last year have perma numbers for the season and it seems that racers may no longer need to wear a jersey pinned number plate, that'll save the solo privateers some hassle with the safety pins. 4.11.013 Qualifiers, semi-finals, and finals all offer World Cup points, however, only the semi-finals and finals offer UCI points. The final...

I spent a lot of time combing over the rule book changes till late last night. I'll run down the list from my notes: Rules that apply to all UCI events, not just the World Cup-- 4.1.001 Enduro is no longer abbreviated END, it is now EDR Dumb name tbh 4.1.007 bis "Enduro events are open to riders aged 17 or over. No separate results MUST be submitted for the juniors, under 23, or elite categories" It is not a requirement for UCI EDR events to list results separately by age group, I find that noteworthy but expect events to...

adamdigby Added a comment about video Brake Pad Compound Options for Mountain Bikes
10/25/2022 3:46pm
This was very helpful for learning the difference between the Ebike and Pro pads. I have been very underwhelmed by my 220mm rotored Code RSC brakes and will be putting Pro pads on to hopefully give me the bite that I crave and have yet to find since my 2010 Shimano Saint brakes. I wish brake manufacturers would build less "modulation" into their products and allow my fingers to pull softly or slightly less softly to engage the brakes hard instead of needing to squeeze firmly or super firmly for the same effect. Unless I'm lightly dragging to scrub speed...
