Someone’s onto something…………

Mondraker Factory Racing: Dak Norton, Ronan Dunne, Ryans Pinky

and the gloves

I'd like to disagree with you on that.

So now he's just Mike Leavy?

You're probably right, but at the end of the day wasn't it his choice to cash out and sell to PON? You can't have it both ways and to me, he comes off as an entitled asshole stuck in his version of "the good ol' days". I don't know how the decision to cut Greg happened, but I think it would be smart build the future of the team around Jackson and there's only so much a brand can budget for a race team. Speculating that the budget was set, and the decision was between keeping Greg and cutting support...

imagine next week they say "introducing Santa Cruz factory racing, with our rider Greg Minaar" I will be pissed lol

Maybe the price of SC bikes will come down a bit now Not serious but you have to imagine his salary was pretty significant.

I'm experiencing peak satisfaction this year with no longer making a living as a bike mechanic; sram should be on my holiday card list. 10 years ago I got ribbed by the more senior mechanics for the amount of time I spent pulling up technical documents. They arguably were right, then. Instead of a 6-pack maybe y'all can bring your guy or gal fresh batteries for their calipers :D

I can only hope they offer this as a firmware update at some point in the future… or they will sweep it under the rug like did with the AXS derailleur battery contact wear issues and the large swath of AXS derailleurs that seemingly can only be adjusted to shift either the larger or smaller half of the cassette, but not both, that they quietly warranty for me every time without explanation. I’m on derailleur number 9 with this issue.

this is how you do rumors. NOT: I kNoW sOmEtHiNg

I’m not a fan of Transmission at all. With no limit screws, B tension adjustment and a very narrow window of micro adjustment it simply can not work on every frame/hub combo that exists. It relies heavily on somewhat exact tolerances, which the bike industry is very, very poor at executing. I’ve had some bikes shift absolutely flawlessly, some barely function, and most shift “ok” for a 4 figure drivechain. Most of the ones I’ve touched, my own bike included, have a huge problem dropping off of the “adjustment cog” down into the smaller cogs, usually requiring a double shift...

Respect to Pablo Cliparto for injecting a little fun back into this thread. The elephant / baobab / Fiat Uno sure has me puzzlin'
