I don't really understand why all of the team riders are using it as their main DH bike, rather than the 2021 Aurum HSP, in that case though... They specifically took the new bike to crankworx and raced is as a DH only bike, then swapped to the Sight 29 with custom/proto linkage or long shock (can't remember which) to...

Just curious, is there any evidence that the new Norco is actually the new Sight/Range etc and not just the new DH bike? It seems to be almost always run with a DC fork and by their DH team, and Jesse Melamed mentioned in the most recent Downtime Podcast that the Norco guys were running the "new DH bike" at...

Pinkbike are saying that they asked BMC and got a response that they 'can't confirm or deny, but that they do have something new coming in the near future' - which pretty much confirms it as a BMC IMO.

Darth_Sloth Started a new thread Buying a British or European Bike Post Brexit Trade Deal

I've bought a Propain Tyee CF 29" that's got a processing date of the 22nd of Jan, and my understanding is that this will now be subject to an additional (to the 19% German VAT ) 34% VAT/import duty when it arrives with me. I'm planning on emailing and calling Propain to ask what's up, and if possible request that...

Pretty unnecessary buddy, and I'd also hold my hopes/horses if I were you, she happens to look pretty happy with Emily Siegenthaler. Why don't we stick to rumors and biking?

Do we need a new thread for suspension setting rumors?

Just listening to the most recent Drop In podcast with Reece Wilson as a guest, and by the sounds of it he will be staying with Trek next year - talks about an exciting project coming up with Trek soon, and already having a couple of team camps booked in for early in the new year. Not definitive, but I'd...

Well said Ed - gone are the days of prviateer racers driving out to europe for a month to race world cups out the back of a shitty old transit van. 226 racers entered the Val di sole world cup in 2012 compared with 139 in 2019. And all those privateers who saved all their money to fly out to the North America world cups. 34 British riders raced the Windham WC in 2012, only 19 raced the US WC last year. Basically, if you're from a country with a stacked rider lineup in 2020, your only hope of getting...

I’d say that given my choice I’d have track limit rules per F1 - you can go outside of the track limits for safety or if you blow through a turn as long as you re-join with-out gaining an advantage (this could be determined using the micro-splits for the section), if you gain a time advantage by cutting the track...
