Tahnees Dad is the FMD Team manager (and has done quite well from Tahnees's racing career).There is no way she goes to race for another team without him.

More likely to have Myles Rockwell come back and win a DH World Cup than see Tahnee on an Atherton bike.

I’m well aware of the definition of these suspension designs. My question is more as to why is santa cruz refering to this horst link layout as four bar, when VPP is also technically ā€œfour barā€. I understand it’s probably because of patent/copyright/other legal nonsense but IMO it seems confusing to the consumer.

A Horst link is also a Virtual Pivot design, but it's not a "VPP TM" design. Any bike that uses two links, connected to a member that the rear brake and axle are connected to is a 4 bar and a virtual pivot. VPP, Horst link, DW Link, the layouts that We Are One and Prime use, Breezers M link, and more all fall into that description, so we differentiate them by lower link length and the rotation of the links themselves. 4 bar or Horst typically means bikes with a long lower link, rear pivot close to the rear...

Horst link is one of the variants of a 4 bar design.

Apologies if this is pedantic or already discussed. Is VPP not also a 4 bar suspension design? Confused why Santa Cruz is using that terminology to differentiate the Vala from their other bikes.

As with every other free hub mechanism out there, if tolerances are right and material choice/quality suitable for the application, I think it's not very complicated at all, however their track record + general inclination towards weight saving in the worst places that is so prevalent in the whole industry... I'm little skeptical.

Peaty did this in the Uk when he first retired . You paid 6-7k to wear SPS team kit ,hang out with Peaty at races and tell people you were sponsored.

I dunno, maybe it's not a bad idea to stay off of forums where people discuss racing until you've watched the race. It's a strategy that's always worked for me.šŸ˜‰

I generally enjoy that podcast but that was a huge miss for me. I hit stop and haven’t restarted it… turns out ā€œI have a secret but I’m not tellingā€ is always a bummer.

Option 6: I've never used an electronic drivetrain so I have no opinion at this time. I'm fundamentally a tightarse though and SRAM mechanical drivetrains are already poor value.

Slight switch of topic… I saw the part spec. sheet for an unreleased bike, and one of the models was labeled as having ā€œSram s1000 Transmissionā€ā€¦I guess confirming mechanical Transmission to be incoming soon?

Knollys recent sizing is just not it. Putting someone 5’6ā€ on a bike with a 480 reach is just insane. They are either hoping to turn people off the sport or are just incredibly insecure and trying to prove something.
