Hannah Bergemann on a new Transition. Looks to be the same as what was spotted a while ago on a chairlift somewhere. They just "re-did" the TR11 so don't think it's that. Definitely meant to be DH only as that seat tube is quite short. Lower shock mount also looks different that their current alloy offerings. Could it be a new freeride specific bike? Just a special build for Hannah?

+1 for the old graphics

I think he’s referring to Grit and Glory, premiering in August. https://ucimtbworldseries.com/news/warner-bros-discovery-sports-present…

should be time stamped to the MTB convo at 2:29:30... i feel like you've all been had by the media. I'm not sure if there was like another post or something. as somebody who ACTUALLY watches moto and ACTUALLY watched the podcast and ACTUALLY paid attention and isn't reacting off of what the internet told me to feel he NEVER says he could jump in and win a cup. he hedges his bets so much he honestly doesn't even say anything along the lines of qualifying. literally the most he says is 'a moto guy could "do it"... basically saying...

I got a Vital t-shirt last season. Wear that thing with pride. Well worth chasing.

Got some reactions following todays Q2 session here.

I'm at Leogang this weekend and wanted to get a sense of how widely pedal kickback devices have been adopted by World Cuppers, along with all the other wild accessories like TMD's/shakeweights, electronics, gearboxes, and more. So out of curiosity and as a service to my fellow nerds, I stood at the top of Q1 today and counted all the devices I could. Note that certain devices were almost certainly undercounted, like shakeweights, added mass, and fancy chainring devices like Ochain or Rimpact (drivetrains were facing away from me in the starting lineup). There were 20 bikes total where I...

What part of i'm at work can't you understand, i only have time to post terrible comments

Why? It's a $14,000 Yeti e-bike, if $220 for bearings is an issue then its not the bike for you to begin with. There's also bikes out there with half as many bearings that cost even more for a kit because of the stupid sizes they use. It's crazy how people will complain about those kinds of costs but will happily destroy the XX1 groupset in 500k because they cheaped out on chain lube.....

Make tiers to how it functions. The NX Ochain has lead installed into it to make it a little heavier and 2° of disengagement. Then the GX is a smidge lighter but it contains more degrees of disengagement. The Eagle Pro Premium will give you 360° of disengagement as well a cool bird and the additional benefit of less mass moving on your body because you just emptied your wallet to buy it.

I'd be lost without course tape.

So is this the thing now because of the internet? Sports betting EVERYWHERE you look? Can't watch a damn hockey game without seeing betting ads every 90 seconds. I miss when it was basically just Carls Jr ads..........

We FINALLY got another B Practice recorded. Talked a lot about Dak's return to riding and racing next month. Plus all the usual drama around the first World Cup - https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/all-drama-poland-daks-triumphant-retu… To listen - https://www.buzzsprout.com/78237/episodes/17228329-dakotah-norton-s-tri… To watch - https://youtu.be/nKQo845FEcQ

That's super interesting (never heard that one before), and I'm sure your guess is right. Anything that's feeler-guage width must be for alignment. But I think we're getting into " Mike's Secret Stuff" territory here*. I'm sure it doesn't hurt small bump performance, but those micro washers are probably doing most of their work between the ears of the athlete and not in terms of actual performance limitations of the fork. *I included a hyperlink to the relevant scene in Space Jam just in case there's anyone in these forums who wasn't alive for Bill Clinton's inauguration. Unlikely. But maybe?

Hans Rey is going to be like those Japanese soldiers who didn’t believe World War II was over until the 70s. He’ll still be going to trade shows and doing trials routines wearing a full blue and yellow outfit in 2035.

Wyn's farewell to GT after ten years riding for the brand:

Sharing @nathan999x press release for their Tube Tether that I think is pretty neat way to carry a tube with a used tube (tube-ception)- https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/introducing-tube-tether-sim… The Tube Tether is currently available for $30 CAD through NWG Outdoor Gear's online store. Every unit is handmade with attention to detail, meaning stock is limited. For more information, visit https://nwgoutdoorgear.square.site/

That last sentence seems important…

Brother... Do their pit chairs have tiny Ohlins coils that actually function on the base? lmao
