dwhere Added a reply to Anecdotal Drivetrain Durability
2/24/2025 10:12am I am starting to think this is my issue too. I got some fancy era cranks and now can't get an x-sync ring. Debating trying the era chainring too. Throw more money at the problem is always the solution right?

dwhere Started a new thread Anecdotal Drivetrain Durability
2/24/2025 6:34am I wanted to hear some drivetrain durability experiences from others. I recently had an odd one (at least to me) and wanted to see if this is common and/or odd experiences others have had. I have slowly been working up the Sram Drivetrain tiers and continually noticed the better wear characteristics. They have essentially been paying for themselves. I have...

2/11/2025 10:02am Shout out big privilege, he's a good dude. Always up at mountain creek, just a normal dude that likes riding bikes (with a rap career). I love that it he brings representation for a minority in our sport.

2/7/2025 4:58am That's where they need to go for wide spread acceptance. If they can reduce the largest cog and go with a short derailleur cage, all the better.

2/6/2025 11:46am Damn that's absolutely brutal to see Cash was getting a factory ride this year. Keep fighting brother. Praying we will see you back in the start gate one day.

2/6/2025 6:59am I cant remember if the original post said USD or that was insinuated based on the other rumors. But it was referencing a long travel single crown with beefy headtube and 20m axel.

1/30/2025 7:23am the 2 references the twin tube damper not adjustments. At least that's how it was explained to me. The dpx2 was twin tube as well, which is why some people felt it was a step back releasing the float x.

1/24/2025 4:28pm Just came to say the same. Got that top tube kink / shock mount. Idk who he was talking to with the cover on their frame. Rach still running a chain.

A bit of shameless promotion, but hopefully it's relevant. I just put out a podcast episode where me and Alan Milway chat through all the 2025 team moves (confirmed and rumoured). Hopefully it's an interesting watch/listen. https://youtu.be/Mu0JAhGceB8 or https://www.downtimepodcast.com/team-moves-2025/ Clearly this forum gets a mention! Thanks to everyone here who keeps the rumour fire burning, I personally love it!

Lets be honest, the difference between tuned boxxer and 40 is negligible, both are absolutely capable of winning races so I doubt performance is the answer, more likely its the money. Also dont forget the current itteration of Commecal team with Pierron and PomPom started on SRAM

1/16/2025 1:02pm As others have said, maybe because they actually think its going to make the difference in winning races and competing? Free shifting, weight distribution, unsprung mass. If one of these teams wins, it doesn't just get them 100k, it buys the team/brand credibility. If gearbox bikes come out of this year with a 2 wins and a few podiums, your...

1/16/2025 8:29am I think there's a bit of both. Gates wants to break into the market so they are doing so via the prize purse. But just because the big teams aren't following suit doesn't mean itsa gimick and all about the money. Some of these larger teams are funded and supported by SRAM and Shimano. They might not be able to...

1/12/2025 10:52am This wouldn’t surprise me. I spoke with his agent on the side of the hill back in snowshoe 2023. He alluded to last year being a bit of transition/test and then Richie would decide what he wanted to do for 2025. Yeti was willing to back whatever he decided.

1/10/2025 11:59am Yes, sorry could have added more. Sounds like he has the "?" lined up, but he was working on release/reveal videos for them. Personally, I think Remy has to be one best sponsorship opportunities in the sport or maybe I live on youtube a bit too much.

12/18/2024 7:26am Yeah, for me its the name and branding. You call its something else and no one makes knockoff accusations. They want people to mistake them for one another, and that's where it crosses the line.
