Does anyone have any experience on the new semi metallic pad from TRP compared to the old metallic ones? And how they would compare to something like the Shimano metallic? I need to replace the pads in a set of Shimanos and am thinking of trying them since they fit.

Oh yeah, 18 inch ruts everywhere, just like the track at Solitude after the monster energy dh. Honestly, I can see the world cup coming to Solitude way before it goes to Deer Valley, if they expand the park further up the mountain the way they've been talking about it, that could be a sweet track.

Those are rumors I wouldn't belive. DV hates DH racing. To go from no DH races for years and years to a World Cup would be a huge jump for them.

Isn't Durango hosting the world MTB champs in a few years time?

It seems that the Chromag is more of a park, freeride trick bike.. The numbers make sense for that..

Well yeah, but it's stupid. It devalues the brand. It would be better to just list the bike at the lower price, make that the retail price shown, than to list a brand new model that doesn't seem to have had any press or marketing yet at a marked down sale price. Spots been in a tough spot for a...

Is that new Chromag the same frame that was built as a purple freeride bike with a DH fork months back?

Might be one in the minority here, but I always like having a bit narrower field of view for videos like this. Having the nearly 180 degree vertical fov and extreme fish eye affect because of it is off putting to me, and part of the reason I hate 360 degree cameras being used for pov shots. Great riding and...

Gwin wanted to get home to be with his Wife on mother's day and must have peaced out before the podium. Neko does look a bit uncomfortable being on a podium that wasn't his though haha

Maybe it's just our reps have been spotty with Orbea but they can be a pain to work with, and people seem to leave the brand quickly. The bikes are totally fine from a design standpoint, but they have been some of the most obnoxious bikes to work on or deal with warranty issues with. Their headset routing is awful...

The shop I work for has received word from Santa Cruz and Cervelo that they are currently buying a bunch of Fazua motors and parts to have continued support for their bikes that use the motor, so at least on that end there should be warranty support and availability but for how long I'm not sure.
