If Dak could go to Norco that would be my top choice personally. They seem to be as committed as any team could be.

I don't want Dak to go to Pivot

I'd like to join the pile-on. I get a laugh every time some marketing hack uses "space-age technology" to hype up a product. The space age ended 50 years ago.

It would be interesting to go back and look at how many elite men and women have actually qualified for a final this year. Maybe 50 men, 20-25 women? Would also be interesting to see how many elite riders have been to at least 5 world cups without qualifying. The riders who are spending the money to go a significant number of world cups without ever even qualifying are the group that could benefit from a program like Dante’s doing USDH or IXS

no chance vali is leaving sram/RS!

Coming soon.. Aftermarket lower shock mounts for even more or less progression than stock..

I know this is the bike econ thread... but it's great to see other outdoor industries doing their damn best to squeeze more money from the same customers. Well done all. While skier visits are down, they’ve been able to price their products to the point where they’re still making more revenue than the year prior. https://unofficialnetworks.com/2025/10/07/changes-vail-resorts-2025/

IMO they nailed the V10 kinematics. Plus press love them and pros are doing well on them. I would expect the updated Nomad and Megatower to stay VPP since they have space to move the shock forward to get that ~120% AS.

I like Santa Cruz but their crustacean justification is boiled, bruh

Interesting that another VPP brand manages to squeeze the platform onto an ebike.

brakes = pincers

"Quit spreading salacious personal rumours in Team Rumours" ~Thibaut, probably

Does AON have the budget for someone like Vali? That doesn't seem likely..

i came for the interesting conversations but i'm staying to see if fucking seth and butch start their own belligerent/snarky/iknowbetterthanyoudotcom forum

Did you miss that Max Alran had the second fastest time of the weekend?

Rumour has it that Ric and Josh might be pulling out all stops at MSA and saving their best commentary for last. Sounds like there is plan to use the words " Penultimate " and "Goolie" together in one sentence 327 times over the broadcast weekend . Lucky us🤣

In the LP WynTV post race vid Wyn tried to convince Vali to run shorts in the finals at MSA. So the Vital bounty might be back on.

Why would you bring up the rumors your are upset get brought up?

Yeah if you can’t honor your contracts you probably should be banned for a period of time. Nobody but yt is to blame for all of their problems. I tend to doubt Marcus will be in the position to relaunch the mob anytime soon anyways. But any league should try to get rid of sponsors who have proven to both been financially irresponsible and act in bad faith towards their riders.
