We think alike, Eddie! The ESC dumped UCI and USAC and banned tearoffs long ago.
Then attendance exploded.

they should make tear offs out of biodegradable rice paper. What could go wrong?
Added reply in a thread UCI DH Rule Unclear - DSQ for Riding Over a Course-Marking Pole?
Its sort of sad how much legal language I have had to look at in the last few years. This is intentionally meant to be a judgement call on the part of some group called the "commisaries panel" that ive never heard of. One key word- "can". The rule could ... more »

Some Kitsbow, Voler for mtb apparel, maybe others. I will note that as far as labor laws and materials sourcing etc, there are a few brands that are pushing hard on this, and can back some of it up with third-party verified certifications like Fair trade ... more »

Thomson and enve dont make bars here, all overseas. Even alloy thomson. No one has the proper swaging tooling for bars, or at least it seems no one is willing to invest in it and a do the volume needed to be profitable. Unclear on WR1 stems, I thought ... more »

Got my eye on Cabirou, I think we will all be sursprised by her pace. Mr Johannes von Klebelsberg. He's got actual team support this year, much deserved, he's proper fast.

This is great news. Klebelsberg is gaddamned fast and smooth. Also great to see BMX converts, its a great way to humble the rest of us. They're joining a great race program with GT.

Added a comment about video 2019 WORLD CHAMPS BIKE - Danny Hart's Saracen Myst Dream Build
Curious that he's using saint brakes from about 6 years ago. Still fantastic brakes, but why not the XTR 4 piston? Shimano needs to update their compact dh cassette options. Really sick bike with some components that are fairly old.
Also noticed he removed brake hoses to shorten with the pads still in. I just get nervous that I'm going to contaminate stuff, it always drips, and the front caliper is in the line of fire. I actually really enjoy watching pro mechs do their thing, always a trick or two to pick up.
