The picture in question. Matches the video Mille posted some days ago, as you already mentioned.

Who says this was all their decision? Joe Breeden started the new Factiry Team and got that worked out. Without him, I am sure they wouldn’t have had a new IFR. For the MS team, they were a frame supplier. Aside from EF’s surprise win, I would say it was a pretty lackluster year for that team (though Tuhoto represented well in outside events). Perhaps MS was asking for more this year than they could give or, perhaps, MS wanted to go a different direction. Point is, Intense may not have been the one to make that call. The whole...

Self promotion here, but we’ve just dropped a new episode with Ellie Hulsebosch on her joining the Syndicate, plus plenty of other topics! She’s super determined and clearly fast as hell, can’t wait to see what the future holds Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5bTHO9PK95SOSQV6Rt3NhK?si=SmvfFKdGRHu9… Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-otb-podcast/id1614212374?i=10… YouTube: https://youtu.be/qmHW09wEW5U?si=Zh67ponhKK5cawwD

I agree that it’s definitely not ideal and the points structure is wack, but it might be a positive for events like this. Having top pros show up at these regional-level events could be great for them.

Guys, can I just say you've been killing it with the podcast this year. By far my favourite format in MTB-Media currently. I'm already dreading the off-season when I can't get my regular B-Practice fix. Although there's probably gonna be a lot to talk about once they'll make the rumored rule changes official...

Anna Newkirk to frameworks? Saw some insta story with Neko pushing her bike with a good team rumors hastag lol. I think Angel Suarez Alonso was only on a one year contract. Would not be surprised if they renew though.

In order to find something that might be a breakthrough, new things have to be tried. If no one tries aftermarket linkages, pedal kickback devices, TMD's, air spring modifications in a fork, etc. then things stagnate.

Here's the official statement from the YT Mob on re-upping Oisin O'Callaghan: Oisin O’Callaghan Re-signs with YT Mob until 2027 YT Industries is excited to announce the contract extension of Oisin O’Callaghan as he signs with the YT MOB for a further three years. After being scouted through the MOB WORLD TOUR at age 16, Oisin has embodied the definition of Young Talent while climbing the downhill ranks. He's racked up a list of achievements in that time, including a Junior World Championship and UCI Elite race win, podium finishes, and multiple Irish National Championship titles. “I’m stoked to continue...

The 2024 Fox US Open start list is finally here, and the Open categories are more stacked than ever!

Hey Lawn Dart, Here are some answers to your questions: 1. It sounds like you might be describing a pedal kickback event due to heavy suspension compression into a G-out. That is exactly what the Sidekick addresses. 2. We don't have plans for straight pull MTB hubs currently. All else being equal - same rim, same spokes/nipples ect, there is not a technical reason why one should see notably better durability/stiffness out of a straight pull vs a J-bend. Flange spacing (and equivalent spoke bracing angle) is not notably different. Interesting to hear you see such a difference. 3. First...

3 missed finals and one top 5 doesn't scream 'pay me more' in my book.

I can confirm that the Elite Men's field has a very robust list of top WC pros alongside all of the Domestic Pros from the US. The Women's field is by far and away stronger than any North American race I've ever seen outside of the World Cup rounds (Mont St Anne, Windham, Snowshoe). Way more stacked women's field than Crankworx Whistler. This replay show is going to be a must watch!
