All

I’m all for paying racers good money but if all you sponsor are racers you’re missing out on a huge portion of the riding market. Most of riders don’t care that much about racing.

Everyone off IFR. IFR is no more.

This no new bikes notion is false, but more of a discussion for the Tech Rumours thread than this one. Norco did end its XC race team in 2023, they had rising stars, or at least contenders, in Gwen Gibson and Carter Woods and just let it die...

What are you on about? Danny is pretty active on social media and has great engagement with his posts, 230k instagram followers and 70k subscibers (50k more than Troy Brosnan btw) on his youtube which he posts good videos on about once a month. Of the top dogs hes for sure one of the more visible outside of racing...

That's Hannah Bergemann

Nah its a Pivot.

But notice how Emilie has been MIA for quite a while now? She missed half the season this year. I know Cami got hurt at Andorra, but ever since Emilie has not been present at the Pivot camp. Whereas before she was there very round, even after MSA in 2022 when Cam wrecked her collarbone. Maybe there was a falling out after Bernie started dating his 19yo employee?

I hope you’re wearing steel toe boots with all those names you’re dropping.

I’m shocked anyone is trying to justify 5Devs actions. They knew they had faulty shit cranks on the market and continued selling anyway. I see exactly where Cam is coming from. 5Dev made excuses from the get go. Pretty scary those guys produce aerospace products. I will be sure to NEVER recommend let alone purchase anything these guys put out.

I think the issue is that 5DEV seemed aware of the likelihood of failure and didn't do anything about it, putting Cam in danger by their own inaction. That's especially bad (unfairly or no) for a small company, where the rider has more pride in using their parts than a standard piece of kit. And once you learn that the company knew they had a bad batch of parts and did nothing, what faith can you have in them offering a warranty part? While Cam definitely came in spicy, I'd rather have liked to see 5DEV respond by talking about...

Call me a hippy, but that new course tape seems reusable instead using two rows of single use plastic all the way down the track.

Is this our new Levo SL??
