why do ppl think intense can found an international race team when they just exited the european markets due to finacial reasons?

Not a chance. Maples is way too French to satisfy Kerr’s American fetish.

Linkage forks will never work. They look stupid and can’t be made cheap or light. I’ve been drinking come at me haha

My single biggest source of pure annoyance isn’t the equipment — it’s the protagonist.

Read ONE POST above yours.

fwiw, adam (the "money guy backer") was at the venue every day moving lumber, signs, cords, spray paint, dirt, tools, boxes etc. he was covered in dirt like all the crew, in addition to hosting riders for meals and gatherings at his home. he was anything but hands-off.

I heard it's increasing to 40 for the men.

I hope it means "fuck boost frame spacing".

So how long before someone has to give us old guys instructions on how to start a senior citizen thread?🤣

Scribing arcs 4” away from every bolt, the battle scars of a hero home mechanic. The first Park tool we get, the first one we reach for, the first we should forget. But we will never stop wielding this glaive of the garage. Magical.

Park Tool three-way 4 lyfe

Every shop rents DH wheels these days!

It sure would be interesting to know which catalogue wheel this is, because the way the sticker radius doesn't match the rim screams "we bought these at 200$ and are selling them at 800$" I know this thread isn't supposed to be about opinions but come on at least match the radii

I’ve long argued that unlocking more money in racing depends on bringing in more non-endemic,or at least semi-non-endemic, sponsors. Think Frameworks x WD-40. The challenge is that I cross paths with a lot of marketers, and its incredibly hard to justify putting millions into such a niche sport when that same budget could go into Meta or YouTube ads. With digital, you get instant analytics, optimization tools, and far less career risk. You can still reach the same demographic, but in a way that’s more measurable and scalable...with no tough conversations with the boss (really, ever). At the end of...

Easily mistaken for the real thing.

https://www.bikeradar.com/features/whats-happened-to-wiggle-chain-react… Interesting comment on this story regarding Nukeproof coming back: " The following weekend was the UCI World Cup in Les Gets, so I headed down there and spoke to several teams with a goal of going racing in 2026" Could they get take over from YT and get the guys that ran the team for '26? I guess they wouldn't be able to take the team points from the mob era?

There have been many complaints about the announcing at World Cups this year (and last year). But nothing I've heard while watching the highlights packages of the WCs was as bad as the Rampage announcers screaming, "Cashie, bro!"
