That's fair, but the GX axs build is 6900 for the allied and the current Tallboy is 7149 for almost the same build... Unless the 4 bar Tallboy comes with a price drop why on earth would I get it over the allied? Or over a Norco Fluid or transition smuggler? Just going the long way around to talk trash on the new tallboy SC has to do or say something to justify the change from VPP to Horst. There is too much competition in that space to just drop the bike and call it a day. Talk about the...

I heard it's just gonna be Brage's trolldom line

Really sad to hear about Mille. I love watching her ride, she can get pretty sketchy when she's pushing the speed, but she always looks so calm and comfortable on the jumps and things. Her and Lou always seem to have so much fun riding together in videos and it really gets me excited to ride. I was so stoked to see their POVs together like they did at world cups. All the best to her! I did see Luca pop up finally in clips from Troy and in his own instagram stories. I'm wondering if he got there a...

Broken collarbone unfortunately

She's was interviewed somewhere (or maybe it was an Instagram post) and said she's doing good but not going to do hardline Tasmania this year to focus on getting back up to speed for the world cups.

Local Maydena rider Sascha Kim has been given a last minute wildcard for Hardline.

I'm overdue to write that Telum review, but in short it's phenomenal. If the damper is anywhere near as good as the shock, it will be unreal. I couldn't believe how much better my fork felt with the MRP Lift damper, so I'm totally down for a Vorsprung fork damper.

looks like trek is working on new supercal or top fuel

Better in engineering terms != better in practical terms. There's a lot of people out there with heel rub on 148 frames. I also don't really like the idea of my $400 electronic derailleur being any further outboard than it already is. Sure, 157 is better on paper, but in the real world, 148 works fine for everyone from beginners all the way up to world cup pros.

It’s honestly kind of a shame it failed. It builds a better wheel for long travel 29 applications and it’s a standard that already existed before boost. It’s just a DH hub. Let’s all collectively blame Trek. Boost 148 was their idea.

I'd bet money their next bike comes with interchangeable dropouts that lets them sell bikes with SB157, but the consumer can change to 148 like everyone wants. Pivot has got to be one of the most change-resistant bike companies I can think of.

Listening to the latest Downtime Podcast. New Jackson Goldstone signature grip incoming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0GOwsidM2U https://www.primeauvelo.com/en_ca/jackson-goldstone-lock-on-grips-00596…

Its micro marketing and not meant to be a global marketing campaign i would guess. Clearly doesnt move the needle as much as lets say sponsoring an athlete like vali, but will probably also just cost a fraction. I have no clue, but could be that trp doesnt sell as good in germany, hence give a guy from germany a couple of the brakes and he might help sales there. This guy is well known around here, but not only because he does youtube. I have seen him doing comunity stuff like shaping dirtjumps in free acces areas with local...

This is so perfectly in contrast to the comments above about Hill and a sad reality of the world, ones maybe the best MTB rider ever.. won everything, not a big media guy, no endorsements. Yet somehow a 40-50 guy gets endorsement deals because he likes to talk to a camera.

Obviously, it's the cousin of Boaty McBoatface

"Our patent-pending Slacky McSteepTube™ design..." the hell were they thinking with that name

Definitely a bar and stem combo
