Some new photos from the new Shimano 12-speed wireless Di2 sets, posted here (no idea about the source): https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=171477&start=45 It seems the set is full wireless. +1 pic from the new XTR crankset.

Moi Moi pulled down his video and Spomer nuked the Fox info. Tech rumors forum bringing the heat this week.

Looks like Scott accidentally posted the yet-to-be-released Gambler's drawing to the geometry section of the current Gambler.

If the Pivot is the only bike that breaks this week from that drop (which it likely will be at this point), then it's not a good look for Pivot. While hardline is an extreme use case, if all the other brand's bikes hold up, it shows that the Pivot is not as strong. For instance, there are guys like Bulldog, who probably outweighs BK by 30%+, coming off the same drop on his 'cheap' ARI frame and it's holding up. The Pivot frame is VERY light. I believe the lightest weight production frame (by far). I'm assuming Pivot engineers...

I'll see your two boxes and raise you:

"Lots of people liked this, lets use that color and the saddle"

New coil shock by Intend? 🤤

Theo: "We had a great morning Bernie, cracking lunch" 🤣

Maybe instead of strapping weights to the frame to make it heavier, they should add a bit more carbon? Curious to see if Pivot is as forthcoming about this failure as they were the prototype. Especially now that they've released this bike to the public.

Yeah, sure looks like it snapped in half. Should probably not look like this

Drive side seat stay appears to have let go.

Looks permanently bottomed out all the way around the berm. Maybe a shock bolt or something but something looks funky with the rear end

Looks like Bernard Kerr snapped his Phoenix frame at Hardline off the board cliff drop... https://youtu.be/5Zi87e4V5UA?t=1193

With the first pass of 2025 UCI team data released, let's take a look at how things are shaking out. It's rough out there kids. All data pulled from the UCI website (https://www.uci.org/riders/mountain-bike-riders-teams/1V5hGPnEvXzbIqkjU…). In past years this data hasn't been final at initial release, so things may change a little in the coming weeks. As expected the number of teams in 2025 has come down dramatically - a roughly 38% decrease across all disciplines. The UCI has not yet released which teams are elite vs standard, so for now all teams are listed as standard. The home countries listed for...

Adam Brayton will be riding Saracen bikes for 2025

That's still Ohlins

Small DIY fix for everyone wanting a better shoe contact, less metal-on-metal icy feeling on their SPD’s, for a lot cheaper than bying new pedals. Is to apply some epoxy cold metal welding glue (not sure what its actually called in rest of the world), then sand it down so that your cleat is properly in contact with the mech and your pedal with the shoe. Been testing now for a few weeks in snowy/icy Finnish conditions and its just as easy to unclip with or without the mod, but shoe/pedal contact feels awesome. Float is still there, but all...

I see your gearbox/belt/chain talk and raise you an enclosed primary chain with secondary "standard" drivetrain! This is cool: https://www.zoceli.cz/en/vysoko
