Spitballing here, but I think SRAM may have ponied up some money for this deal to keep Jesse on the books as a development rider/tester, dude is in tune with his gear and gives good feedback it seems.

Phil Atwill with 50to01!!

Vergier bent some in a crash. Most likely the change is because Rheeder is off Trek, and Trek isn't going to help Title out anymore.

Youve put more effort into that than I have done in my whole career.

This Pirelli / Trek racing thing seems to not make a whole lot of sense since Trek has Bontrager tires... Hoever, my theory as to how this has come about: -Think this move is more about money than quality of tires (what isn't). Pirelli may be throwing big money at the team (hundreds of thousands of dollars) to be their tire supplier. This will allow them to afford all the big rider contracts they're carrying right now as the bike recession looms. -Trek has (for a while now) been a distributor (at least in US) for Pirelli tires. Maybe they...

So rad! Now what can you tell us about that new Smuggler, hmmm?

Lars from Transition Bikes here. Troydon (Crestline) lives about 3 minutes away from our headquarters. He's a super nice guy and joins a lot of group rides from Transition HQ. Stoked to see this, and stoked for Blenki to be partnered with someone so genuine and into bikes! Troydon is a ripper and rides a LOT. Super rad to see what he's doing, it's a massive undertaking to launch a bike company these days in such a competitive market. Also stoked to see Blenki around here, I'm sure he's bound to pay some visits.

The actual question is: Why would a champion let YOU (- as in: the team he came up with) go? Especially if the combination of rider, bike and teammates works this well. This is obviously pure speculation, but I bet it comes down to money. RM isn't a big brand, they don't sell that many bikes in the grand scheme of things. I don't think they can afford to pay him a big salary. The ugly reality of it probably is that Jesse has been doing it long enough just for the love doing it. He's probably at a stage...

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Jesse went out and bought a Canyon, and maybe got RM, and the rest of the team involved and has been getting all of us?? Because why would you let a champion go? that would.mean he has pulled the greatest troll off. Again, a champion.

I can confirm that an australian enduro rider that used to race DH, a canadian enduro rider that recently left an american brand factory team, a german enduro rider that left a german brand after 9 years are ALL part of a new Factory team of a big German direct-to-consumer brand. They've been shooting and shuttling in Finale last week.

Jack Moir, Christian Textor and Kasper Wooley on the YT Factory Enduro Racing team for the 2023 season! Wow that's a crew of absolute shredders! I'm especially excited to see what Chris Textor can do, now that he's finally on a proper bike. He's a real work horse of a guy, quiet and humble but gets big results. Multiple top-20 EWS finishes over the years, multiple times national enduro champion, former national DH champion, etc.

Clarkson makes some very good points, especially about youtube. Copy paste from pb: aliclarkson (5 hours ago) Only Fabs got in touch with me last year wanting to do a similar thing. They mentioned how keen they are to branch away from the porn content as that was never their initial goal but just something that happened which they rolled with. I think they’ve had some issues with payment companies not wanting to handle porn money and they’re desperately trying to change their image. I had to turn them down though, as cool as it could be I pride myself...

What you feel is exploitation my girlfriend feels is a super easy and lucrative second job. Works for herself as opposed to making a low wage at an extremely profitable medical company that required a 4 year college degree to get a cert for. Not fully aware her financials but I’ll pay approximately 40,000 in student loan interest by the time I’m paid off to Wells Fargo and other banks and I dropped out of school cause my families financial situation changed drastically in the ‘08 financial crisis. I don’t know but by my standards having an of seems a...

Came here to say: “Lewis Buchanan rides hard” ”Lewis Buchanan bottoms out” “Lewis Buchanan riding POV” And so on and so forth.

Sometimes even ten of hundreds.

there is literally hundreds of dollars to be made in the bike industry...

did not have this on my team rumors bingo card

Two set of flip chip at the chainstay dropout and at the seatstay rocker connection should give plenty option for mx/29 and HA adjustment. Headtube look to be slightly tapered maybe ZS49/ZS56 ? And Marin have the habit of making frameset available for most of their model. Looks to be a really nice budget DH bike.
