He's been off canyon for years. He was on GT until it shit the bed earlier this year. He is just using old frames he has ATM.

Not exactly an innovation per se; but Raaw has started offering the option to rent a toolbox full of all their adjustments included. You get it for two weeks so you can decide if any of those adjustments make sense before you buy. And, get a discount when you do decide to buy something afterwards. Pretty cool idea. https://raawmtb.com/en-us/collections/parts/products/raaw-factory-suppo…

After a dramatic week of building and practicing, competition day rolled around for the women of Rampage. The original field of 12 riders had been reduced to 9 as the start list was published, but unfortunately Harriet Burbidge-Smith and Chelsea Kimball also went down late in the game with injuries so we were left with 7. The weather had been a challenge in the lead-up to the event, but conditions were picture perfect on competition day (and looking back on it, the rain sure helped the dig teams carve out some good looking lines). This was the second running of...

Vali wasting no time in ditching the YT gear!

Alright, Barstool style take here...feels like Bruni might be crashing out here (as the kids say). I totally get pulling out of a race after a big crash. But if you’re good enough to get to the top of the track and think about dropping in, its safe to presume you’re probably good enough to show up for awards. Hell, do a half-speed lap, wave to the crowd, shake Jackson’s hand...call it an (almost) victory lap. I know , easy for me to say from the couch, and sure, maybe something more serious was going on (delayed concussion symptoms). But...

You didn’t get this from me.

Most Strava users use their phone. Most paying Strava users with a Strava subscription use a garmin device.

AON riders are going outside (green) and everyone else is either going inside single double (blue) or outside to inside (green to blue). Joe Breeden was the only one to pull a massive double to single on the inside (red). It was insane.

Thanks for the props fellas! Reece Wilson just told us that this track is more difficult than any track all year, even Les Gets in the mud because it’s so unpredictable. Rocks coming out all the time, and shadows look like rocks and rocks look like shadows. But the dirt is apparently absolutely mint.

If you’re not getting paid by your employer (allegedly), then that’s also a breach of contract on their side…

I am very rigorous with my maintenance and my shimano's are usally pretty toast after the summer.(i dont ride in the wet). Sloppy pins etc and starts to get lazy in shifting. They seem to take a hammering at the bike parks (rarely do I ever hit one on anything)

I’m glad the the UCI have spent the time and effort to investigate this and make their judgement. I’ve notice on IG, FB and PB there are a lot of guys getting upset about this and I feel that this says a lot about them. This has been an investigation that’s taken months since the accusation and they’ve kept his name out of the media until now. So it shows that they were taking it seriously. Hopefully the replies on here will be better than on the others.

Full statement from the UCI regarding the suspension of Edgar Carballo Gonzalez for alleged sexual harassment, followed by a statement from Mondraker: ----------------------------------------------------- The UCI Ethics Commission issues a decision concerning Mr Edgar Carballo Gonzalez The Union Cycliste Internationale’s (UCI) Ethics Commission – a body acting independently of the International Federation’s administration – announces its decision in the case involving Mr Edgar Carballo Gonzalez, a Spanish downhill and enduro mountain bike rider. The proceedings followed a complaint submitted by another rider via the UCI’s confidential reporting platform, UCI SpeakUp, reporting an incident of a sexual nature that occurred in her...

Not sure if there ever was an investigation in his case. If so they never made a statement on it. Always a tough arena as it’s very hard to prove and usually a traumatic process for the victim. But if it was ignored all together that would be quite the scandal. He got dropped by two teams. Commencal and cllctv. Seemed like canyon signed him unaware or ignoring any rumors then when they dropped him is when the rumors went came to light for the greater public. I know nothing more than anyone else and a lot less than plenty...

Finally! A proper electronic DH rear derailleur. I've been wondering when we'd be able to pay $1500 to ruin three derailleurs on the same rock in one race weekend. Can't come fast enough.

How many kWh and square meters or glacier can we consume to get a computer to tell us that thinking about your line choice before dropping in to a trail is beneficial to your riding? Sorry to burst your AI bubble.

AI chatbots only regurgitate words it's found online in a different order, so the better option would be to see what actual dirt jumpers do, rather than using a glorified thesaurus to do your thinking for you. AI has its place for consolidating information, but this isn't it.
