3 missed finals and one top 5 doesn't scream 'pay me more' in my book.

On the note of disengaging hubs and pedal kick, so long as whatever drive mechanism you have can automatically engage when you pedal forwards, it's impossible to prevent it from causing pedal kick. The drive mechanism, whether it be hub or BB based, can't differentiate between the chain getting pulled on due to you pedaling and the chain getting pulled on from the suspension compressing. Riding backwards is a little different in that you can use the fact that the hub is rotating backwards relative to the axle to disengage the hub.

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.

Probably support for NZ at World Champs.
