I have heard on good authority that there will be a hardline on Cypress mountain the week before the whistler world cup

Prince andrew to pivot?

Well to credit you all, this thread was Pinkbikes greatest research resource lol

brace yourself... at the end of the year, we're going to lock this thread. while it's been amazing (thank you all!) and fun that we hit 1000 pages and over 7.5m views, this thread is a logistical and technical resource hog. it's also not easy to access older information. while there are a lot of upsides to the ease and convenience of posting to this thread, the downsides are outweighing the ups with it being so massive. please start a NEW thread to the hub for anything that has potential for legitimate discussion. good posts will be homepaged and the...

Saw that Ryan Griffiths was tagged in a Jackson post on IG, so guessing he’s with SC 2026

Exactly, Thom Weisel / Lance Armstrong engaged in some pretty amazing insurance fraud in that manner, betting for and against themselves by rigging the game. I love re-watching the tapes from those depositions! But Gates, while they make decent parts for excavators and automobiles, has been trying for more than 15 years to get traction in the bike world. They never will though, because belts are incredibly stupid for the application, and universally despised by anyone who has ever dealt with them. Gearboxes with a chain? sign me up though!

(For those who don't know, @Sacki is Stefan Sack, the founder of BikeYoke 😁)

I just want to recognize Chris for stepping into the bull pen that is this thread...

Chris, lots of people sacrifice and do hard work. Usually to make profits for someone or lot’s of someone else. Lots of us here make huge sacrifices cause we love mtb at financial loss. Both in how it affects our careers and the money we spend. And I’m not talking on gear, but rather the millions if not billions of dollars people spend a year after year creating trails, races, etc out of pocket with zero profit or even for free. You start every podcast asking listeners for money to keep it going. Which is completely fine. I have zero...

Thanks for the math award. I don’t even practice so it’s double nice. We are also very handsome here on the messageboards. That bike is super dumb looking.

One thing that became almost immediately clear in the relatively short time that I have been reading and participating in bike-related internet forums is that the proportion of posters that are good at math is extremely high. It seems that 1 in 10 is an actual engineer, and the proportion of math-brained folks among the remainder is way higher than the public at large. As such, holding back geometry information strikes me as misguided because one's efforts are destined to be futile unless they also refuse to release pictures of the product. From the moment the bike is portrayed in...

Full list of rumors this year: Oisin to Trek Everyone else to Frameworks

Wow! Flossman came off as so arrogant saying that they were a family and he was disappointed in his racers being upset. He literally questioned their loyalty. I hope Tippy does not sign with them. They don't deserve him.

Markus coming across as that POS who is bashing his wife and says something like "look at what you made me do, you made me do this" kind of vibes everyone else's fault but his.

I enjoy his pre and post race shows, and that's about it.
