Yt paid team fees to ESo or UCi to enter this year. It would be a nice gesture to give that money back to the Mob riders if they are owed portion of their contract. Riders definitely need a better union because these big bike companies have too much leverage and face no accountability. YT should be banned from world cups for 5 years

I completely agree with this. As much as I like my job, there's no way I'm paying to do it. I feel like YT could have gone about this differently. If I was a YT rider, I'd be doing what Oisin is doing, which I don't think it's hurting his future team chances.

I think this dude is Markus Flossman

I love what I do for work and feel privileged to be able to do it. But, if my employer wasn't paying me, I sure as sh*t wouldn't turn up for work in uniform. In fact they'd be lucky to see me at all.

This isn’t YT’s first time pulling the plug on a race team and not giving any notice. Ask Gwin about that. And according to the team manager in the video, they found out the same day the press release went out to Pinkbike, Vital etc. They all stated they aren’t getting paid anymore and are funding themselves for the final races. I can see why some of them choose not to represent YT on their jerseys.

Velocio = Sram owned. So most likely came through that channel.

Saw a couple SRAM sponsored teams running transmission DH cassettes and Xo1 mechanical with non flat top chain at lake placid WC.

Don't put your start / finish under trees? Do you actually mountain bike? Tell me you don't live in the BC without telling me you don't live in BC. Scratch the Sea to Sky and Vancouver Island off your potential user list if a course can't start or finish under trees.

I really wanna like this, but when he was on a stock bike, he was doing much better than this crazy contraption with all these extra things just to barely make it through Q2 twice this year

One issue, Trailforks is owned by Outside and they don't care about you or our sport

Showing up to a federal land agency meeting with heat maps printed discussing decommission was an eye opening experience. It’s a great tool for them to identify and remove any trail that was a significant amount of time to build. Your 2 minutes of enjoyment likely was 100 hours of work or more. And it just put a bullseye on the trail when you published your ride. You can remove sharing heat maps on your settings, not make rides public and hide your maps. Or just not strava those trails.

In response to that insane faring thing on the AON bike. The mechanic said it was so he could get more feel/grip. WHY WHY WHY does it not have grip tape on it then.

You didn’t get this from me.

This morning Jackson, Amaury, Loic, Lachie, Bernie, and Benoit, and all the other fast guys are all doing the gap that Breeden pioneered. Richie cased it and went OTB. He’s been talking to medical for the past 5 mins. Also unrelated, trek is running blacked out maxxis, and Richie is running transmission.

My significant other just broke a reserve rim. They sent out a replacement rim and paid the bike shop labor for relacing it so not a whole new wheel. Total time from warranty submission to done was a week.

Based on dual crown compatible, Fest series, park lap, Rampage, freeride kinda riding from Nico Vink, Hannah B, Talus, and Jaxson, I have a hard time believing it's still a 150mm trail bike...

Troy has the thing on his Boxxer but Luca doesn’t
