Feel like Troy Brosnan could be a slight dark horse for the win

Damn that's absolutely brutal to see Cash was getting a factory ride this year. Keep fighting brother. Praying we will see you back in the start gate one day.

Shit the bed

Should this be renamed to "Tech Rumors and Innovation, until a brand asks for posts to be deleted"?

Some new photos from the new Shimano 12-speed wireless Di2 sets, posted here (no idea about the source): https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=171477&start=45 It seems the set is full wireless. +1 pic from the new XTR crankset.

from neko‘s IG, all the specs on the new MY26 fox float x2 asa‘s is riding.

Cranks are current m820 saint cranks, rear rotor looks to be a RT-CL900 which is available in 203mm but center lock only unlike the MT905 that are 6 bolts. And brakes looks like current XTR brakeset that Jackson and most of the Syndicate last year ran. But that DHX2 looks to be the rumored MY2026 one.

Both Pivot and Evil frames are, or were as of 2020, made in Myanmar at a place called Very Impressive Prospect Co., Ltd (VIP). Allegedly the factory workers tried to unionize and the labor leader was stabbed by goons. https://globalmayday.net/2020/10/18/myanmar-union-busting-at-sporting-g…

> production bikes aren't always optimised for racing, and race bikes aren't the best for mass production Since DH bikes have been dead commercially since about 2014, isn't any DH bike pretty much a "race only" bike anyways?

We've flown too close to the sun, back to CNC stem appreciation

Re the drop that broke BK's Pivot... As has been said, it's a fairly steep/groomed landing. 100% still a massive impact upon landing... But not that insane when compared to the forces put through bikes by consumers. Think, 225lb dude at Whistler, doing a 15ft drop to a more flat landing. Probably as much energy being transferred into the frame as what BK did on the drop that broke his frame. Or same 225lb dude coming up short on a 20ft gap and casing hard. Again, probably similar or more energy than what's being driven through BK's frame on that...

Moi Moi pulled down his video and Spomer nuked the Fox info. Tech rumors forum bringing the heat this week.

i get where they're coming from, but for those of us who remember what was stated - this essentially confirms it was not a rumor.

More of the same and a day late. But it’s nice to not hear every swear word bleeped out. We’re all adults here https://youtu.be/rf7BDuo4NeM?feature=shared
