2/6/2023 11:15pm I wasn’t able to get a photo (bad phone, not because I was told no photo) but the Pivot boys were getting around Queenstown Bike Park this afternoon on a new CNC lugged downhill bike with carbon tubing. Not sure if this counts as team rumours or tech news so will post in both.

The 10lbs flip isn’t the impressive part. Her mobility and stability on the bosu is fantastic. Really cool to see someone do that.

1/16/2019 2:27pm Considering how land access is already an issue for ebikes this definitely isn’t helpful

1/3/2019 4:31pm Could also be as a way to give feedback to Ohlins on how they stack up against the competition. Have no idea if that’s actually the case of if they are moving on from Ohlins but I very much doubt there isn’t cross brand testing to benchmark.

Well reading all the posts I struggle to grasp where @jeff.brines is being emotional and defends RR and JG. To me (overall) he's just saying "wait until the hearing and let the riders have a chance to defend themselves in front of the institutions" On the contrary I feel that people asking already for strong punishment or calling them cheaters are the ones getting all worked up and emotional. So to get things as straight as I can, we only know ONE thing: Graves an Rude both tested positive to Higenamine & Oxilofrine at the Olargues round of EWS 2018...

11/11/2018 10:31pm Agree with Carll and Jimmypop. While not necessarily the MTB, there's plenty of recreational roadies around just doing local crits and such that are doped up. I know it's more of an issue in road based on history, but there's less money in a local crit race than the top end of the EWS

11/4/2018 5:43pm You sure about that? I thought Palmer was only around $300K per year and he was the highest paid mountain biker up until that point in time.

11/23/2017 8:23pm It comes from posts by Martin (team owner) and the CEO of YT posting cryptic messages on their instagrams which have been posted in this thread. Markus Flossman - Sometimes something has to come to an end before something wonderful new can rise. #goodtimesahead

11/23/2017 12:34am My understanding is that the "YT" mob is just the name of the team run by Martin Whitely because YT are currently the main sponsor, similar to gravity republic where specialized is the main sponsor, and before them it was Lapierre. Or MS with Mondraker now but Evil before that. Same team, just sponsored by different brands. Could be the...

11/6/2017 5:52pm This is sad news. Hopefully it makes a return one day as it was an event I've wanted to try since discovering it last year.

10/16/2017 4:23am Finn signed with Gravity Republic when he was a sub-junior, completing his first season with the team just as a sweep rider. He's been with the team 3 years now so his contract is up.

5/25/2017 5:29pm Wouldn't happen for World Champs. The national teams like what Peaty used last year are for when there aren't enough uci points to qualify for a World Cup (selection criteria are different for champs). UCI points are valid for a year (from memory) so Gee would still have all his points from last season if he races again this season...

5/22/2017 8:12pm Please no.... There's already enough 'standards' around, don't make me have to also have tyres/rims/spokes for two different sized wheels.

4/13/2017 1:54am Finished university last year, been working the standard 9-5 for the past 6 months and already regretting not taking a gap year between school/university to live the bike bum lifestyle somewhere like Whistler or Queenstown. I've been lucky enough to visit both while studying but it's only served to show exactly what I'm missing out on. I'm not going to...

No tagging Gstaad or Scott, sign of things to come next year?

9/10/2016 9:09am He's part of the SRAM/TLD team this year (same team as Luca) but would assume on a smaller salary as he hasn't done the full world cup season.
