Competitive Pokemon was not on my Vital bingo card for today lol

Tech rumors left the chat

0-100mm of travel for XC... meanwhile, among current XC bikes, the Scott Spark, Specialized Epic, and Cannondale Scalpel are all 120mm rear travel. WBD/UCI apparently don't even know what people are currently riding in the disciplines they're trying to standardize.

Seems like a whole lot of bike-related brands/companies are learning hard lessons this year about the promises made during a buyout.

Hold up… You carry a spare derailleur when you ride?!? Are your trails on Mount Doom or something?

The thing I've learned from all this broken derailleur talk is that I don't ride hard enough.

When you enter the SNR on the fox website

Probably support for NZ at World Champs.

I believe.......... it is a bicycle. (Sorry)

When it comes to derailleur cages, there really is only one way to do things. Two pulley wheels on an arm. If I’m not mistaken our cage is the only one where the structural arm traverses from the outside of the upper pulley to the inside of the lower pulley. We wanted it to at least be different in some way. Kogel cages maybe look more similar for what it’s worth. The reason this annoys me, though, is we developed a novel chain guide a few years ago. The design is actually patented in the US. That design was copied...

Don’t get me started.

Teams pull out of enduro - I guess there’s a minimum of 20 EDR & E riders with no ride in 2025 No ebike racing - WBD decision, no ebike teams. So, if there’s no teams as brands focus there budget on other discipline - due to costs, no exposure of enduro etc etc, more focus on DH / XC then WBD don’t kill enduro , the industry does so WBd have clean hands. Balls sold out and killed what he create all in the name of moneys.

NW Cup finals went off! some of the near misses are terrifying.

I am admittedly a bit of a lefty socialist but that makes him sound like a right ruthless b******

Sorry champ, but our Apollo program used the metric system, and the Soviet Union landed plenty of things on the moon other than humans. More importantly, does the UCI hate miles or privateers more? 😁

The people want a €3.6k metal bike with deore and xfusion?

tell me you are american without telling me you are american
