And how many races were won due to a rider's sprinting ability that would have been eaten up by gear box efficiency? Color me suspect, but I don't think gearboxes are the biking panacea people claim they are.

I'd put flat tire elimination at the top of the list, but that's just me...

imagine using a “hey at least I’m not as bad as the NFL” argument in real life

Alleged still doesn't look good to people buying products. If I was a bike shop owner and somebody applied to work there and was alleged to be replacing customers' fork oil with olive oil and skidding the showroom bike tires in the parking lot, I wouldn't hire him, because our customers wouldn't trust him to work on their bike. Daprela is alleged of much worse. I just can't see how that makes sense for Rogue Racing's sponsors.

Disappointing to see there are still teams willing to support Daprela after what he is alleged to have done. There are a ton of other riders without teams that are almost as fast and come with none of the baggage. I would've thought sponsors would prefer their riders to be fast and good human beings, rather than just fast.

SPD's belong in a hall of fame with Nokia 9210's and cast iron cookware, they'll survive the heat death of the universe. If the OneUp SPD's last even half as long as a shimano they'll be incredible

the million dollar question - will they be as durable as shimano pedals?

Phil losing sponsorship almost annoys me the most out of all of this. All the guy has to do is post a phone clip on a dodgy pleney loamer and I'm convinced to buy the bike. Brands will regret giving up large engagment numbers on social media just to save a few quid in the short term.

Considering he's world champ you'd think he'd be on the muc off team, but then again someone said Dan atherton could win a World Cup this year so any thing is possible

Ghosting Sam Hill? They’re gonna be kicking themselves after he wins that easy Tasmania Hardline race by 25 seconds.

What I want to know, amongst this discussion of a UBH, is who the hell is managing to strip their brake mount threads? Good lord. You pull that off, you probably shouldn’t use a stove or knife, either.

Going to be fun reading wireless/electronic aficionados rationalizing an expensive, cumbersome and fugly axs dropper over a cabled version.

Well it's 8.25am January 1 in Sydney, I have a belting hangover. Expecting to see 300 post with new signings, rumours confirmed, ratboy to ride a 3 shocked cannondale. Instead we get Sam Hill riding for his local shop. back to bed

Gonna laugh when it’s Lewis

Is Bernard Kerr the UK version of our P Diddy, looks like it. Is his new nickname going to be B Kiddy??

What is Jakob too old for him now?

Am I crazy or does this all sound waaay more complex and annoying than running a cable?

Pls tell me more about Hunter Bidens laptop! I desperately need trustworthy information that gets withhold by the mainstream media!

or maybe there’s just more mentally sane people here than in your Truth Social filter bubble. now get the turd that is US politics out of here and let’s talk about bikes and bikers again
