Here it is

They are about as accurate as most other springs out there - the main thing to note is that they are slightly progressive and the adjuster is closing off the progressive section, so in its stiffest setting it is mostly linear. Vorsprung made a post on instagram about them and referenced the bikeradar article, so I'll paste the text here instead of linking it- Put your nerd hats on, because here we go... thanks to Per Nyberg for bringing this up. A Bikeradar review a good while back (Dec 2020) measured the spring rate variation of a particular Sprindex spring...

Flat sections were fine. 1199 has everything a course could offer. The strongest rider has the advantage there because after all, these machines have to be pedaled…

The RD says RD-G8000🧐

Troy was in the just above the final drop, lots of guys and gals floating around the crowd. Nina hiked way up after her run to watch with the rest of us.

it’s been stated multiple times that finn isn‘t goin anywhere!

I worked at Fox during the acquisition of Marucchi and can say these were the reasons behind it: Diversify out of the bicycle industry During COVID obviously there was a huge boom and bust cycle in the cycling industry and Fox was really just along for the ride. Record quarters followed by huge slumps. The C-suite decided to aquire a company outside of the cycling industry to hedge against further industry specific disruption. The SSG division of fox stands for Speciality Sports Group, and they wanted to cover more than one sport. There were perceived synergies in the product lines...

You can see the dust from the rock strike that damaged the chain. For some reason he wasn't running a bashguard, or maybe it broke off from the same rock strike. No surprise that the chain broke.

Can confirm Megatower will not be updated, likely will stick around till they have no more units. The general thesis at SC is the ebikes will be 4 bar and the pedal bikes will stick to VPP (at least until PON decides they have to go open mold on all their frames). Yeti ST is being released this year as an updated 120 to the new suspension platform.

Big shout out to Wyn for the pits video. Those little insights we learn about Jacob Jewetts shoulder, Gwin being the last one to leave the pits and Mad Maxs brake levers captures these athletes in a way that the morons from WBD will never be able to when they shove a mike in front of them. Hope he has a long future in downhill when he stops racing.

Kiefer's chain didn't snap, he smashed his chainring on the last jump in the woods.
