All

I have unofficial confirmation from a local shop that it's the new Bottle Rocket.

New Transition soon? Spotted in the Woolley Fest highlight video.

No, it does not. There are no 'sensors' measuring any sort of side loads from the chain or anything else. This is how these daft rumours about transmission come to be. You've just made a statement that isn't based on any facts at all. Did you just make up a guess at what you think it 'might' be doing or is that something you read elsewhere? Information on exactly how AXS Transmission works is freely available online from SRAM themselves.

Just a buncha butthurt Yankees in here. Finding it hard to celebrate a young Canuck on top of the game. The irony is that if Jackson were American, those same butt hurt yanks would be being obnoxiously chanting ooo-rah USA! USA! with hand guns blasting in the air

Dear Bike Brands, Employ real humans writing real words and creating real images to paint the picture of what your bikes will give to us. If you don't, we won't buy from you. Period.

You first create a bike profile, then after it's created there should be a button for "add components." I think if your pod/derailleur (plus dropper & it's pod if you have them) are already paired together, it then has you press and hold the button on the derailleur, then it grabs everything in the system (so you don't need to add all the subcomponents individually), but I can't recall exactly.

Maybe not the most interesting news but - For you who run the AXS Transmission groupset from SRAM Apparently there is a new update coming any day now that is supposed to speed up shifting, similar to XPLR speeds. Not sure how it will work, since afaik its designed to shift only at the ramp in the casette to shift smoothly even under full power. Dont know how increased speed will affect that.

Maples on Frameworks is a fairly good guess I would think but I wonder how much Neko had spend to get Asa signed up for a another 3 years . Might be that he replace Angel suarez with Maples , Angel seems to be one of the unluckiest riders out there with injuries and just not quite getting the results his talent deserves. As for Dak I'm sure if he's off Mondraker he'll have no problem finding a ride but if all the YT riders are after teams as well , there might not be too many fully factory supported...

You can destroy 3 GX DH derailleurs or 4 Zee derailleurs for that price 😆

On the Downtime pod they were saying that for a practice day at worlds, Amaury was following Max and getting his lines, and having to push to keep up. The biggest name on one of the biggest teams following a junior is definitely a sign of what's to come when they get to elites. Those juniors are insane.

I find it hard to root against Jackson for a bunch of reasons: 1. He's obviously a generational talent on a bike. 2. He looks like he has fun every time he gets on the bike, whether it's practice, in a race or at the local dirt jumps. 3. (Maybe the most important to me) He seems to be stoked for everyone. He placed 16th in Les Gets and is reposting Ronan's winning run. He's almost always at the finish line, waiting to congratulate his competitors. He might be one of best riders on a bike, but he hypes up...

Loic is a nice dude. Jackson is a nice kid. We’re generally lucky in this sport.

This is a messageboard, Pinkbike has comments on their articles. Zingers over there, dear diary and super breakdowns over here.

I am not finding it hard to root for him. Now if he keeps going next year or two like this it will change maybe. I am enjoying his taking it to those who had been dominating.

I wonder how many people freaked out when Kaz said something to the effect of, "It's funny when people in the chat refer to Vital as the other site.. Like you can't say their name here.. We don't care if you visit more than one site. In fact, you should. Get another opinion before spending your money..." This was on the podcast within the last few weeks.

Does anyone seriously believe that 99% of the people in this thread aren’t also in the PB comments. The irony of claiming PB is filled with virtue signalers, while simultaneously saying Vital is better than PB. Both sites have their differences and are staples.

I ride my 29er spire at the park as well. I really wouldn’t worry about any otb difference. That said if you can afford a newer bike (especially long term) there ain’t too much of a reason to not get a v10. The current session or demo may be an easier find used as they are popular rental bikes.
