dude, they gave andi kolb a 4 year contract which didn’t even last 10 months!! it’s his first year on YT. and since we now know that YT wasn’t flush with cash for at least the last 2-3 years (thx to some forum members here). it‘s really shady to kinda trick him into signing when they‘ve been standing on weak legs financially for years!

I think this dude is Markus Flossman

This isn’t YT’s first time pulling the plug on a race team and not giving any notice. Ask Gwin about that. And according to the team manager in the video, they found out the same day the press release went out to Pinkbike, Vital etc. They all stated they aren’t getting paid anymore and are funding themselves for the final races. I can see why some of them choose not to represent YT on their jerseys.

Showing up to a federal land agency meeting with heat maps printed discussing decommission was an eye opening experience. It’s a great tool for them to identify and remove any trail that was a significant amount of time to build. Your 2 minutes of enjoyment likely was 100 hours of work or more. And it just put a bullseye on the trail when you published your ride. You can remove sharing heat maps on your settings, not make rides public and hide your maps. Or just not strava those trails.

Why why why does it not have counter sunk screws from either side?

In response to that insane faring thing on the AON bike. The mechanic said it was so he could get more feel/grip. WHY WHY WHY does it not have grip tape on it then.

Its just excited.

So is that mythical fork a single crown 40? Takes me back to the slalom version of the DHO. I've got a few of those. I used to know people at Rock Shox when they were still in Santa Cruz. Our team at Another Bike Shop got our OG Boxxers before the sponsored riders did. Sorry Peaty.

RAD!

You didn’t get this from me.

Lock it to preserve its integrity. A new thread can be made for future occurrences. But also I hope this concept is 'rare' enough going forward that people can just... Start a solo thread per incident. And that it's not so saturated we yet again need a 'megathread' to cover the implosion of our industry. (Also optimistically hoping any future incidents aren't as much tied to the covid boom and more so a result of their own process, aka failure... so hoping things look different going forward. It's not like all these things happen due to covid. Thinking of how...

Velocio = Sram owned. So most likely came through that channel.

If I was in charge of athlete management at TLD, I’d be STOKED he did that.

Could the fact that Oisin bought the shirt with his own money a few hours before the final mean any future relationship with TLD? Any team wearing Troy Lee clothes?

vali‘s on her tues, but looks like in the rockshox pits.

Nah it’s just the new boxxer with that “linear xl” bulge thing, they’re just running backwards lowers. Works better under braking.

is this actually for real? how do the bolts not destroy his inner thighs? let alone the thought of it being a double-sided meat slicer if he falls off the back at all.
