All these aerospace grade components and I still can barely get any air.

That’s me

Technologically, that's comment carcinization happening in front of your eyes. Evolution is a biatch.

Or, gasp, someone frequents both sites. However, yes Carcinization marches on!

*tinfoil hat on* Big MTB paid an outrageous sum to Neko to show off 32” since they know everyone loves what he’s doing and simply can’t hate on him.

Can we get a separate thread for requesting separate threads so it doesn’t clog up this thread?

"To what extent to you agree with the following statements? thermoplastic carbon mountain bikes fit well with the way i go out and come home in my daily life"

Because the word cancer comes from the Greek word for crab.

Yes, MSA was Jackson on DHX2 coil, LP was LMS on DHX2 coil, then before that, AP4 won Lenzerheide on a Vivid Air.

Dante just providing photographic evidence in order of all 3 podium shots is impressive reporting.

I’ve wanted to ditch linespotters for a while. Not exactly blind racing but for all the talk of “racecraft” I think putting line choice in the athletes’ hands would be sick. Like no radios in a road race. I don’t know how it’d happen but it would be sick. And I think it’s mostly one-line because these riders are the best ever and they know what they’re doing!

What are your thoughts on 101 line spotters per rider? What if they weren't allowed on track anymore? After the UCI.. or whoever it was put a video out of riders talking about phones in their pockets- it seemed some mentioned the use for constant communication with line spotters. How would line choice change and how tracks burned in change if all that wasn't a thing anymore? Riders and only riders could be on track and learning it themselves.

a response i left in the south korea thread when someone mentioned that despite possibility of a lot of line choices, south korea is a one-line track. thoughts? option 1: it's one line b/c the bulk of the loose debris was not removed/rake before practice making alternative lines virtually impossible as the piles of said debris littered the surface outside of the main racing line. option 2: they always pick the fastest way down the mountain and multi-line tracks aren't actually a viable reality except for a random move or two.

What if it was commissioned at a price point that became entirely unviable in the USA due to tariffs and got remarketed as China only?

ugh, not this again.

New SC Tallboy dropping May 19. 4bar, more travel, lighter. Seems like to align with 5010.
