Sorry to detail the rumors thread. Back to rumors: hope that new altitude comes out today

I don’t know if I buy this argument, I don’t think the evidence would support your characterization. And just so you know where I’m coming from, I don’t have an e-bike. I do ride my road bike about 15-20 hours per week, mostly all super easy endurance volume that supplements my mountain biking. I do lots of intervals and am...

I think the Rocky Mountain enduro team may be switching to SRAM. The SRAM product director commented on Remi’s post:

Anyone else interested in the Maven Ultimate package because of the extra rotors/pads/bleed kit thrown in, but turned off from the red paint job? I wonder if they will sell the ultimate kit in black soon.

Anyone have more news on the updated Altitude? When is it dropping, roughly?

You have to remove the crankset to change the pads

Why did it get removed?

Yes, I tried a friends MX wheeled V10 at highland on bone saw, maiden voyage and eastern hemlock trails. It was great. No complaints. I can't say that it's faster than my 29er DH bike cause his bike wasn't set up for me or my riding style. And I don't want to risk destroying his bike either. But it was nice.

@Roy that's funny because I was looking forward to testing my Altitude MXed at Thunder and Highland, as well as Sugarloaf. Have you gotten a chance to test a mullet setup at any of those spots over a full 29er?

I am very similar to you - live in northern east coast, 5'9", and have raced some ESCs and will probably do them this year. I actually have owned a Rocky Mountain Altitude for the past 2 years. So far I have run it in the full 29 but I just bought the MX mount and will be trying it...

My point being, that's a lot of money on the table. Curious what people's thoughts are regarding outside company sponsorship knowing it could make such a huge change in rider salaries.

For context to help the discussion, the top road racers all make multiple millions per year probably due to outside company sponsorships: https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/report-ranks-pro-cyclist-pay-from-t… Pogačar gets paid €6.0 million; Next on Gazzetta’s pay-podium is Primož Roglič at €4.5 million ($4.9 million USD), and Vingegaard at €4.0 million ($4.4 million USD).

The latest PB podcast with Jessie Melamed goes into tolerance issues. Carbon frames coming out of the mold with minor differences (a couple millimeters here and there). And why two “identical” bikes aren’t riding exactly the same. Well worth a listen.

I did the same trip with my grandmother! Stayed in Nice and then traveled to Finale Ligure. I think it will fulfill your requirements. The beach is nice, it's temperate, and there are nice cafes and museums for people to stroll around in. Also the riding was pretty fun. One really cool thing is that some of the trails are...
