That's what we thought in May, and then for the first WC race, and now for Eurobike.

Man, if only there were a forum thread dedicated to this topic. https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/The-Hub,2/How-Much-Reach-is-Too-Much-Re…

Hi, I’m Ricky Bobby! And if you’re a bike company and your size large has a reach longer than 480 then fuck you!

She probably ordered them 18 months ago and they just got delivered

Pay me enough money and I'll put them on my bike too.

"Sorcery chips" lol you need to copyright that asap

Rocky dropping something tasty tomorrow......

Ain't no way I'm reading all this. Give us the elevator pitch.

It’s also possible that loris hated the tyres from day 1 of trying them and struck and agreement with the team not to race on them. His results are very important to the team and he’s notoriously fussy so I’d imagine come race week he’s free to run blacked out tyres he trusts. The % of people who notice his tyre has no logo would be tiny in comparison to the people who notice the pirelli logo on his shirt

All this flex stay talk has me wishing for some actual new product spy shots

The demo he’s on is a custom size for him, I can’t see him jumping on the new frame design this season, he clearly has something that works for him. and the next race is this weekend….. so unless he has already been testing the new bike in the background, then I can’t see it happening. I also heard that even the prototype of the new frames work costly, not that would be a problem to a company like specialized. But Loic stuck to the old frame last season when Finn was already on it, to me that indicates that...

I don’t know what is going on… Word on the street is GX Transmission was supposed to be released last week, but clearly it wasn’t. I know that embargo is holding up a couple of bike model releases.

speaking of pirelli, anyone seen what tires loris really was on? :D

Looks like Trek are taking more than a bit of 'inspiration' from the Hope HB916...

Yeah, a piece of inner tube surely makes for a wunderbashguard!! Here is my Picasso approach on the system:

They're onto a plastic shroud; I don't think we're ever getting a look at what's under it now (just like Bruni's mystery shock)

@iceman2058 posted this in a diff forum thread. not sure how it impacts everyone, but figured it'd be good here "So after getting all excited about seeing MTB on Eurosport, it doesn't look like the DH made the schedule this week. There's a little car race called "24 hours of Le Mans" or whatever that apparently took priority... pffff.... GCN+ it is then." @brash fwiw, the nove mesto xc broadcast replays look mint/flawless. was told by someone who watched live, that there were no hiccups or glitches. there's obviously no rob warner, but the coverage of the actual race seems...

eddie masters' raw. it sucks he's hurt, but he comes correct w/ the action!

juniors getting heckled by all the elites is pretty rad thanks to new schedule!

Well well well, the steering stabilizer thing is happening again at the CLLCTV (apparently Mark Wallace ran this last year in Fort William and nobody noticed...). This is now on Troy Brosnan's bike, he says that Lenzerheide is not exactly the kind of track where it helps the most, so it'll be curious to see if he elects to run it as the week goes on (you can read our test of the commercially available, integrated version HERE).
