Maybe most of them know that would be inappropriate and choose not to be weirdos

SRAM owes me royalties. I called it in June of last year.

Agreed. The only reason I have the bike I have now and not the TEMPO V1 is the headset routing. I had decided on the TEMPO and then one day realized it had headset routing. I couldn't believe it. It's SUCH a dumb idea that I didn't even think a bike brand as practical as Commencal seems to be would make a decision like that. But they did. And I bet it cost them a lot of sales.

How about flat stems with upside-down riser bars?

Val di Sole 2021 junior world champs Jackson Jordan Lachie Val di Sole 2026 elite world champs Jackson Lachie Jordan

Cedric Gracia, of course. Gee for freeride, not sure of his trick bag tho. Feel like I accidentally forgot Jacko? I was fully convinced Jackson was gonna go FR/slope from his childhood. Didn't know about all his race experience. Vinny T goes fast. On dirt AND snow. Then attempts 100 foot drops that question how to design the physics of a landing for something that size...

The UCI MTB World Championship locations have actually been announced all the way out to 2031. 2027: Haute-Savoie, France, with DH and XCO/XCC at Les Gets 2028: Leogang, Austria 2029: Czechia, with XCO/XCC at Nové Město and DH/Enduro at Dolní Morava 2030: Durango, Colorado, USA 2031: Trentino, Italy Dolní Morava is an interesting one for 2029. They’re building a new gondola and World Championship-standard DH track, with the aim of having it completed by the end of 2027 and tested at a major international race in 2028. And Les Gets hosting Worlds again in 2027 is a pretty good excuse...

I'm a big believer in climate change, but the main climate impact of the World Cup circuit isn't plastic course tape. And how many rolls of course tape does it even take to tape off the track? Ten, maybe? Definitely less than 20, even if you're taping all the B-zones, too. There's more petroleum in the tires that get used in a weekend. Getting rid of course tape feels like a charade to make it look like someone in the organization is thinking about the climate, but its obvious that the climate hasn't factored into any other part of the...

My world champs super lukewarm take: Riders should race in their rad world champs kit instead of the country kit. OR, for the love of god, let a graphics designer rework the color patterns. Some countries are cool but most look terrible. The USA spiderman suit is so lame.

And I bet that downhill bike will be the Norco team! Should good timing to release that with the World Cup just happening and hardline right around the corner and having riders and both! This is just speculation but I can’t imagine they’re being a more perfect release time for any Bike right now

Downhill algorithm just released for the astars airbag system!

I asked Gemini to adjust the image to not alter anything about it, just to make what seems to be there, a little more visible. Hate me if you want.

So fkn lame.

Guessing its the uci telemetry/gps box? Not sure if every bike runs it, but starting to see it on a lot of the XC bikes as well.

any chance Hardtail Guy has Raygunned himself in?

Update... Sold my bikes and bought a Shadowcat. Best bike I've ever owned.
