I'm at Leogang this weekend and wanted to get a sense of how widely pedal kickback devices have been adopted by World Cuppers, along with all the other wild accessories like TMD's/shakeweights, electronics, gearboxes, and more. So out of curiosity and as a service to my fellow nerds, I stood at the top of Q1 today and counted all the devices I could. Note that certain devices were almost certainly undercounted, like shakeweights, added mass, and fancy chainring devices like Ochain or Rimpact (drivetrains were facing away from me in the starting lineup). There were 20 bikes total where I...

Great review! All of us color blind folks are going to love squinting at the brake fluid bottles to figure out which one is which.

lol didn't even think of that. If it helps, Nick at Shimano said you'll die if you use the wrong one. Good luck!

Such a good race. Any insights on why Finn wasn't DQ'd? Sure looks like he went around a pole on his 2nd crash

Saddle activated brake... If you sit down, you slow down...

hopefully youtube doesnt remove this one... and by youtube i mean GP this one is a triple VS... Oisin and Asa chase Jax down Loudz

Asa might have the best one I've seen so far.

Course POV with IFR from Loudenvielle. Juanfer drops Breeden LOL

No Warner, no Wyn, no Lawlor. They should probably cancel it at this stage.

Hmmm. I get it, but… huge bummer.

No Wyn TV at this round which is a bummer. It's always a highlight with the banter imo. Must be years since hes missed one come to think of it.

on that note, just so everyone here is aware, there won't be vital videos from loudenvielle (or andorra or lenzerheide) this year. we decided to put our budget towards covering all of the domestic Pro DH series rounds and TN National races this year instead of full WC calendar. hopefully there's an Ed Bull RAW to keep us stoked LOL. lawlor will be back at Leogang.

What's extra sick about that Andorra video is that these guys are fierce competitors...but they have no issue riding together, pushing each other on, and in doing so, potentially "giving up" some of their own advantage. I realize it's not that cut and dry, and that they are still just cruising here, but regardless...there are not that many elite level sports where you'd see this. Mountain biking rules.

Jackson Goldstone and a bunch of World Cup heavies lapping Andorra is the sickest thing you'll see today!

Hans Rey is going to be like those Japanese soldiers who didn’t believe World War II was over until the 70s. He’ll still be going to trade shows and doing trials routines wearing a full blue and yellow outfit in 2035.

Any UCI race(from road to dh), believe it or not, ultimately defaults to 2 humans running synchronized stop watches, as far as the org structure and decison making works. It’s kinda wild, imo

here's the embed to race replay from crankworx to see more than the screengrab. in video you see he steers his front wheel completely around the wand (hard to tell from grab). 2:05:40-ish for incident.

Got up super early to watch crankworx DH, but Troy saw it and I didn't. Ryan Gilchrist cheating at the start line. Can't blame the UCI, WB or the French for this one.
