Its shit like Canfield getting upset that treks proto DH bike has bars of metal with a spring along with an idler mounted somewhere and an adjustable pivot point that makes me roll my eyes. I have countless hairball linkage drawings that look super similar to this that I have just drawn up and looked at how they would perform for fun... I didn't steal his "idea" I arrived at that shit the same way anyone else would... I used my brain. I understand how the industry works I just wish at times the industry could you know "be cooler"...

Without the lower guide the chain gets pretty slappy. He's been running this off and on for a bit. Benoit uses something similar, even with a lower guide.

Garbaruk posted on instagram that they have a new product announcing tomorrow, but a guy that I believe is sponsored by garabaruk seems to have pulled the trigger on his post early. Seems like Garbaruk is launching their own wheelsets, hubs, and spokes. Looks like some nice pieces, and it also seems like they have done a spoke very similar to industry nines "system" spokes. Lets just hope they dont charge like €3k+ for a set, which is what a I9 System carbon wheelset with multiple colors costs here in europe. Post says "reasonable pricing" - Who knows what that...

I did A-B-A testing on each day aiming to get in 5 quality laps before swapping tyre, then 5 laps, swapping back again and another 5 laps. Timing was done by picking the exact GoPro frame where I crossed a specific feature on the trail, e.g. tree, rock, post etc so that I could get accurate timing to 1/60th sec and construct a perfect lap taking the best from each sector. The results often surprised me and I think "feel" can be misleading. The Assegai for example felt epic, but in the data it is slower in every sector.

Hey all! I did a whole heap of tyre testing last year at Bike Park Wales. The aim was to accurately measure which were quickest, based on multiple timed laps. I had always intended to make this video in case anyone finds it interesting or helpful, but only just got round to making it. Hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think, and whether any of this lines up with your experience. I was extremely surprised by the results... The tyres on test were: Continental Kryptotal 29x2.4 DH/Supersoft Maxxis Assegai 29x2.5 DH/MaxxGrip Schwalbe Magic Mary 29x2.4 DH/Ultra Soft...

A lot of new regarding brakes these past pages. XTR, Mavens, Hope, and now another addition from SRAM I have spotted. Ben Hildred is doing his climbing challenge, where he climbs 10k feet a day, for 100 days, and I spotted him covering up the caliper on his latest story - Strange, because I thought he just ran regular Level Ultimate Stealth's - But went through his old stories from these past climbs, and managed to spot two pics of a caliper, that size-wise looks like a level, but it differs in shape. It also seems to say "Prototype" when...

Is Hope about to come out with a new version of the Tech brakes? This looks suspiciously like a bleed port, which may see the end of those messy open reservoir bleeds. Presumably if that's what it is, you'd just need to orient the lever downwards to ensure the bleed port is at the highest point (which would also allow any bubbles to flow around the internal membrane, which typically has a pretty intricate shape). Pic of Adam Brayton's bike on Hope's insta:

I've rewatched the runs, Other than the drop, Asa is a smoooooth criminal, I watched a bruni run from last year and they are very similar. Jackson is quite active trying to generate speed due to him being a lil guy 🤣 We Gotta talk about how good Matt jones did and how much hes progressed, what about theo and his Stoke attitude... matt Has really generated a good following lately and watching him progress in Queenstown has been amazing to watch

What a way to kick off the season! So rad to see so many pinned runs, with hardly any run crashes as well. Here are the results and a couple of observations: -22 racers lined up for finals (down from 34 on the full start list, proof that this event is no push-over). -How cool was it to see Sam Hill and Josh Bryceland just cruising such an intimidating course like it wasn't a big deal? Let's not say they came off the couch to race here, but almost. -Gracey Hemstreet looked like a sure thing the whole way, smooth...
