Just put two audio tracks at the top. One with the music loop and one with Sven talking about what he had for breakfast. WINNING!

Feels like a rant that was a long time coming. I am not going for popularity on Vital here, any pro ebike comments gets knocked pretty quickly online. I believe pedal assist ebikes are simply not a problem. Sure they are not as fun, most days I agree with that, and that’s why mine hasn’t been ridden even once in months. Occasionally like when I’m sick, injured, or just super lazy I would say ebikes are way more fun, at least more fun than not riding. They aren’t real MTBs? They sure aren’t motorcycles, at least not class 1 pedal...

MaxxTerra is trash. Give me MaxxGrip in Exo+ and Doubledown

Without the sport would die??? That‘s bullshit Red Bull came when Downhill was big on Freecaster, Red Bull pays more money, that‘s all. With a lot of bad decisions in the past! Limited Content, one hour brake after the woman’s finals...no Red Bull isn‘t what the sport need. They‘re bring a lot good things of course, but not just good

Great show and really insightful, but it’s a shame they try and justify the refreshing of kit every three years as being driven by technological innovation/restraints. That statement is disguised business greed imo. If they kept standards the same, it would be an arguable point, but they change standards deliberately to force sales so it’s clearly b*ll*cks. It's just going to ruin the sport at the mid-level and stop people buying for long periods, so ultimately counterproductive. Messing with standards stops riders from being able to "rolling upgrade" which forces them to buy new frames, forks, wheels etc; this ultimately...

This has to be ZUMBI cycles prototype. ?

For 2020. We need the following threads WC Rumors EWS Rumors Freeride Rumors

Doesn’t improve my ‘cool and independent’ rating for them. They are a bit too involved in creating rumours (or should we call it fake news?)

Perhaps a bit too much credit to the Athertons? Long time friends with the guys at Robot Bike Co, who worked with Dave Weagle. Become a new brand with a new name, add investor. Genuine disruption? Or scale up something that already existed? Dunno.

This looks like something worth looking forward to: View this post on Instagram ?BIG NEWS ALERT? 5x World Cup Champ @aarongwin1 announces he will be joining Intense Factory Racing alongside @nekomulally and @jackmoir_ !

I hope graphic designers won't read that, they might have a heart attack.

goes better than RockShox Red

bonus for forum viewers. you get it first before it's listed. reece and his new session 29. he's 5'9", running size XL with reach adjust headset that slides it back a bit working out to be 4mm longer than a size L. he says he went XL for the high speeds of the world cup DH tracks.

23rd it is

Sigh the sport is further digging some holes as far as welcoming outsiders with Trek focusing on "youth" and teams having "Dudes" in the name. No need to walk on glass worrying about every last word and rider image but coming in a bit from the other extreme with official brand marketing might help. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
