I'm shocked Flight Attendant didn't originate on the SID and SIDLuxe considering remote lockouts are way more common in XC.

The difference is that Peaty spent his whole career helping younger riders with teams, deals and advice. Brendan did a podcast recently where he was saying how Peaty even explained financial advice to him. So he fits naturally into a team in a coaching position. Minaar, while obviously the GOAT and an amazing racer and ambassador, is also known for intimidating or confusing his own more junior team members. It is a part of high level sports/racing, so not dissing him (Palmer and even Bruni admitted to doing this on GypsyTales recently), but it does make it harder to find...

Makes for damn good marketing, that's for sure.

What a year for Atherton. Three different riders on the top step with their product this year. For the brand I feel this accomplishment is much more impressive than one rider dominating. Can we get Greg a couple of extra pumps in that rear tire, or maybe an insert? It seems this year he has had more flats when points were on the line than not. Despite being filled in the track still offered a great stage to separate the field. A lot of riders with dirt on their jerseys but thankfully nothing devastating. Vali has so much pace that...

VVC doesn't work like a typical shim stack, you can wedge 4 times the shims in there and it will do next to nothing. It involves incredibly fine tolerance machining of the standard parts (or a remake) then dyno'd and changed again and again as even 0.05mm preload will change the characteristics of the damper massively. It isn't worth the stuff around. A Fitgrip (or Grip1) tuned, different story, I have said this numerous times here, but it's a better damper than VVC Grip 2. Tuning Grip1 is not exactly easy either and involves again trial and error. This is...

That silver link is much shorter than I was previously thinking. This is likely way more progressive than the real deal but I updated my older guess to shorten the 'pull' link and move the linkage pivot to concentric with the BB (which to me is the only option that makes sense given the super short link). I did this in a hurry so it's not very accurate even to that photo, but I found it interesting more as a proof of concept since this general shape of the leverage curve is considered 'desirable' by lots of people but hasn't...

You can see with the suspension bottomed the linkage running under the bb. To me, looks like an ancilotti-style linkage is hidden, combined with the visible seatstay pivots.

It goes by overall uci ranking, not World Cup ranking. So it's points you earn for world cups, plus other UCi races over the past year. Vali and Loris are leading those rankings.

WTF happened to Pinky? Shows DNS??

Neko got the sickest Bike !

As originally posted: " Women Junior: 32 riders on start list. Riders ranked 1-15 qualify for the final." It turns out that UCI has made Women Junior the same as the other groups: Everyone who posts a qualifying time will be in the race finals. (There are no Protected junior riders.) The Women Junior field will include 29 riders.

Petition for if Loic or Finn win worlds they have to remove the cover of the Specialized

The rim strikes per second metric is astonishing.

I'm guessing this is legal but it sure seems like a crappy thing to do... (Caption for those w/out Insta: " robwarner970 Nice one @uci_mountainbike @uci_cyclingworlds for using my voice all over this Worlds promo when you know I’m not working there, believe me I tried…"

GCN+ won't work for you if you're based in the US - or in any of the countries listed above where there is a T V rights holder i imagine. It will Probably work if you're based in say Azerbaija N though
