Commencal muc off is the star racing Yamaha of the DH world

in an alternate universe, there is a Guerilla Gravity DH team sponsored by Gorilla Glue

The TR11 has a similar layout, too. The Joshy Frotha Transition deal in that corner of the world made me think about it.

Loic posted this on his insta. Is he moving to Sellotape, 3M, Gorilla tape? Wild!

Dunno to me the feel is less " It feels like some people decided to start a thing after a good ride and a couple beers." And more "vulture capital cash grab by churning out more "same, same, but different label" " marketing.

One piece bar and stem need to be purged.

all I thought was "it would be shit to get my balls caught in the shock" looking at that

If you need a downhill bike the GT Fury is an incredible deal right now. Bunch of shops have the elite version for ~$2450 and Jenson has the pro for $2999. I was already set on keeping my Norco Range for another year but this deal has me exercising my self control...

Seen some good deals online for some GTs.. Top spec Sensor cheap enough to have money left over the address some of the weak points on the spec.. Kinda wish I had the money to jump on one..

Although I totally agree that Mavens and TRP's are awesome, I would highly recommend the Hope T4 V4's if you're looking for an amazing brake with loads of spares available. If you can get your hands on a Vivid coil, I would pick that over the DHX2 as the Hbo and touchdown is amazing

is the mechanic wearing a paper bag!?

Its better news than that. Apparently theres a rolldown. Where if a rider getting a top 5 already has qualification through their Elite team, the spots roll down. So from this one today (after the elite team status is finalised by UCI), elite men in 6th/7th/8th today (at a minimum) will end up Golden ticket spots. And some roll down in other categories too

Kaos riding new Orbea? Dont look like e.

I was in the 1st pre-order batch that shipped on12/31 and arrived via UPS four days ago. I obviously have a lot more riding to do before I can pass any judgment but the initial experience has been great. The most comfortable flats I've ever tried.

Can we give up on the Gwin going anywhere but riding a Crestline this year? The guy literally owns the company (or a part of it at least) why would he be out there promoting other brands in the same market segment as his own company.

Lets be honest, the difference between tuned boxxer and 40 is negligible, both are absolutely capable of winning races so I doubt performance is the answer, more likely its the money. Also dont forget the current itteration of Commecal team with Pierron and PomPom started on SRAM

You mean to tell me that we were this close to having a Loris-Jordi reunion, and now it’s gone?!?! That’s criminal!

I hope this is on topic - But since it was news from this week. Just got the OneUp pedals delivered. Some pics and size comparison to Saints for anyone that has been contemplating them. They are very similar in size, I would say maybe 5% smaller overall platform. Tried to "dry" clip them in to my Fox Union shoes, but the pins are quite high, and the clip mechanism seems quite hard (From my experience shimano is the same, and it takes a bit for them to "break in) - So I could not clip them in by hand...
