IIRC she said, even though 100k was a good amount of money, the top male riders still make 3 times as much as the female riders and complained a little bit about the injustice in dh mountain biking. That´s why I´m guessing a top male rider (and Kolb is a top male rider) won´t make much less than Vali.

Who is going to put that amount of money?? This is a small sport, are not road bikes😀

At least 75k?

When joining YT last year Vali stated in an Interview that her salary is roughly 100k. Of course that could be higher for this season after her success last year. But I don´t think, Kolbs salary is that much lower.

how often people wright this legendary man‘s name wrong just baffles me… it‘s Aaron GWIN! 🙄 rant over, sorry😅

I remember being told when the Druid V2 came out that Forbidden is already using this standard and that looks to be accurate.

is swapping the postmount adapter when you size up a disc so much hassle? this seems even more complicated as you need to remove the rear wheel just to swap out the ubh. what am i missing here?

File this under: Things I do not hate! I know its not holistically for altruistic reasons SRAM is coming out with standards like UDH and UBH, but these standards make things so much easier to deal with from the consumer side. Bend a UDH hanger? Go into any bike shop. Want to swap between 180 and 200 rotors? Buy a different UBH. The idea of not having to deal with a frame's terrible brake post alignment, or even having to do the "post adaptor math" is a net win in my book. Kudos for SRAM for doing this! Looking forward...

Word on the street the full production Specialized DH vessel is ready. Apparently it's a looker.

so release in 2027 when they finally got rid of their demo stock? :D

Gotta say, that's a terrible bit of photoshopping.

Remi on spesh. Ok - but no chance they’re paying him to travel around the world to get 30th on a circuit with zero coverage. I’m not being mean here - just truth. Same with Blenki - guy was cooked (results -wise) 3-4 years ago. There’s zero chance anyone picks him up to race wc dh. On a similar note, Lucas Cruz - has he ever had a result? And Norco is taking him to all the WCs? Again, not being mean - just facts. I think he has a family connection at Norco but there’s no way anyone’s expecting...

We have entered the part of silly season where people float (and debate!) wild speculation that a 42 year old Dan Atherton returns to downhill (last result was 57th at Crankworx in 2018) on a new rubber band bike to chase a $100k podium. Perhaps we need an award for most ridiculous rumor every year. 🤣🤣🤣

" I’m so grateful for the people at Clif that kept the athlete program going for as long as they could" This line kind of tells that maybe everyone has been dropped, including Rheeder.

You’re on crack cocaine dude. I’ll put up my own 100 grand if Dan Atherton got on a World Cup downhill podium in 2025. I’ll even grandfather in a five-man podium…he did it once, 20 years ago, so yeah. Freebase rock crack cocaine ice meth pcp

Dan was never on a level with Gee and Rach when he was 25, nevermind now

Dan wouldn’t even be able to qualify for a final. Being a fast rider at your own bike park you ride everyday is completely different from racing world cups.

Rachel Atherton is coming out of retirement for the 100k lol, the bike is being built, and she's probably the most capable between men and women on taking it. Sure it been awhile since she's raced, but I'm guessing she could still be first on race day if she put her mind to it.

He goes too big to ride such poorly made bikes

He has consistently said awful things about certain demographics. I personally don’t really care or judge anyone till I meet them a few times but it doesn’t look great to most
