You could just take the mega tower ?

It’s true. Bike executives are obsessed with the comments of the 10 people who post on this obscure Internet forum.

Everyone who thinks Vergier cannot be successful without Jordi be ready to have your minds blown: Jordi is moving to SRAM/Rock Shox. I saw it kinda implied on the Instagram of Jordi’s girlfriend. I also inferred from the Instagram of Vergier’s cousin that Loris is personally supplementing Jordi’s income to make the move. Everyone knows Rock Shox sucks because all they focus on is MTB suspension while you can find Fox on FORD RAPTORS! All you folks who know that Vergier’s success with Syndicate was a direct result of his funny banter with Jordi are totally right.

Ines Thoma is having a kid! Guessing she'll take some or all of the 2021 EWS season off?

The writing was on the wall when Trek brought in Neff. Canyon could work... 🤔

Well, it obviously isn't the same when an industry insider isn't creating doodles and posting all over the internet to fuel the rumor mill. We also bashed away people contributing "X brand liked Y rider's instagram story so he is definitely going there" posts.

While the rumors here are mostly focused on the gravity scene, here are some from XCO: Kerschbaumer and Sarou to Specialized Luca Braidot and Marotte to Santa Cruz, apparently new XC bike is also in the works Ferand-Prevot to Absalon

Dear 5/10, Specialized, RC etc. will you PLEASE make a flat shoe with Velcro or at least a combo of Velcro /laces? I know many have been asking for a while. Maybe there are few I am unaware of. If so, I am open to someone pointing them out. Like them or hate them, nothing has yet match 5/10's grip feel. I know RC is making some good shoes. Haven't ridden Specialized.

Also from WynTV: • Dante Silva might end up in Canyon next year • Privateer Jamie Edmondson should get snapped up next season • Matt Walker to get an energy drink sponsor (more tongue in cheek but certainly possible) • Minnaar will train even more in the summer (or winter, if he really is going to Andorra)

I bet there's a fire in Minnar that just started burning hard again, I bet he's got two more years left at least now if he was even considering it. See if he can keep pace next year with the kids and then if not, do the peaty style retirement tour the next year for fun.

TECH RUMORS!!! If you want to start swinging your handbags about who the real GOAT is... start another thread and stop hijacking this one!

I have terrible GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). I'm tempted to put a Secus on my 36, but it's 96% dialled, so maybe I just suffer once in a while for a few minutes at a time? If I get a new bike, then it makes sense.

As someone who has zero volume reducers in their 170mm Fox 36 and still can't get full travel, I'm thoroughly curious about the Secus. Steve at Vorsprung is playing it unusually close to the vest with HOW the Secus works, but it sounds like it opens up the lower leg air space and increases lower leg air volume, thus reducing the buildup in air pressure in your lowers. If that's how it works, that's exactly what I'd like to see with mu current 36. Right now it runs more sag than I'd like and still runs into a wall 2/3's...

mudhugger front fender. I don't get hit in the face by rocks anymore.

Worst: Maxxis Aggressor - sucks for climbing, doesn't stop well, should have gone with a Minion SS, 'cause at least it can corner SRAM Guide - not as good as Levels or cantis Bontrager Blaze helmet with Wavecel - expensive, hot and heavy, just what I want in a halfshell helmet Best: Carbon rims on everything - no more flat spots Vorsprung Luftkappe - amazing Dropper posts that aren't Reverbs - most rides I use my dropper more often than I shift Jury's Out: Intoxicated while riding - set some PRs while hammered, but it seems like a bad idea...
