All

Hello! I admit I have seen the ”Shimano Reports Bike Maintenance a Hidden Barrier to Participation” title on the home page and I got curious. I didn't read the entire thing, nor did I read all the comments here, as I don't have time right now (but I will make some time to read), so excuse me, but I feel the urge to say something. From my understanding, Shimano is whining that in Europe people are cycling less, because bike maintenance is hindering them. Did I understand right? If yes, than I find Shimano to be at least a bit...

Hopefully them being more involved in DH will lead to a new version of the Impact Pro, which they "quiet quit" last year. Instead of a 7th version of Trailcross shoes.

Hope they do all of the track walks in full balkan style three stripes tracksuits! (we all know this is probably related to the Adidas owning 5.10 but there might be more to the story, anyways it is indeed great news to get such a big name as a sponsor)

Watching Tahnee pull the little diaper off as if anyone cared was pretty funny

Probably a new Ochain device built in the lowers

Fixed

How about Lobster or Shrimp links? Both are somewhat related to crabs and that's kind of what you look like when you ride an XC bike (hunched back to a low bar/stem. Just imagine the negative stems that will be on 32" XC race bikes... carcinization continues as Nino Schurter goes from GOAT to Lobster)

I'm waiting for Deity to offer $100,000 to the first elite XC racer to win a WC running 80mm rise bars upside down.

Absolutely horrific. Scott will love it. Can't wait for a new steerer standard to solve the issue of the taper getting in the way of the stem.

Slightly off topic but I think there should be 20 tracks/venues from around the world that get put up to possibly host the World Cup rounds, out of those 20 tracks/venues the riders get to choose what 10 tracks (or more ?) they want to race by voting in private and whatever tracks get the most votes wins and that’s how the World Cup calendar pans out for the following year.

Sure that's not Beats By Dr. Dre?

It's a grower not a shower

Does nobody throw their bladders in the freezer between uses?

really want to believe forbidden saw the crab link convo in here and gave us a little nod with this one.

Did you get those launch coordinates from a group chat you were recently added to?

That’s what she said

Micheal Jackson actually wrote man in the mirror about bar stack vs rise.

Birds the word

Easy on the Big Bird. I've got those rights.
