Eoin Added a comment about video Dusty Wygle Finally Starts a YouTube Channel and the First Vid is AWESOME

I sense a D. Wygle podcast on the horizon
Has he been on the inside line? I only know of him from Cam's videos, but seems like an interesting dude with the nitro circus connection etc.

8/4/2021 1:36pm Don't think so, France gets the bigger battery on the most expensive model, Germany on the 2 most expensive models. Sorry if that wasn't clear, blame Giant for not bothering to do any marketing. Have we reached a point where demand outstrips supply that bike brands stop doing PR as it is a waste of money considering everything will sell...

8/4/2021 1:05pm Last weird detail on the giant, the German 6.5k€ build comes with a 750kW battery, Vs a 630kW for France at the same price spec. Very weird. That being said, those battery capacities are seriously good for the price, they are much better value than even the direct sales brands. Taking into account that all bikes are compatible with a...

8/4/2021 8:08am Not a rumor as they are announced since yesterday, but weird to see almost 0 press about the new Giant e-Reign despite a brand new motor unique to the brand and pretty good looking builds at each price point: https://www.giant-bicycles.com/fr/bikes-reign-eplus-2022 Seems only the french and german markets have them listed and no one has ridden them. Isn't Giant the biggest...

8/2/2021 8:29am Do we expect any updates to the Saint clipless pedal? Was about to get a pair, but a refresh closer to that flat pedal design would be way more interesting!

won't a 27.5 tube fit in a 29 tire? The biggest downside I can think of in terms of "spare parts" is not being able to swap your front tire to the back when the back tire wears out. I can't think of other spare parts that swap between front and rear wheels...

Not on insta, so linking a screenshot from another forum: B. Pierron out of hospital and straight into the clone wars, that thing wraps around the back of his head. That family definitly doesn't skip arm day. mods feel free to replace with insta link if preferred

7/16/2021 8:15am Quick update from A. Pierron, in french audio: https://fullattack.cc/amaury-pierron-nous-donne-de-ses-nouvelles/ Very quick translation: it was small fall, anyone looking would have been surprised he was even injured Lungs (pretty much healed), liver and kidneys in a bad state. Apparently takes longer to heal than bone, doctors told him 6 months before riding, 3 before doing any sport Getting another scan in...

7/16/2021 5:03am Krabo said it all, but just to add regarding Sam: he did go well on one of the first stages of the year so the speed is still definitely there. But EWS venues and schedule have been real endurance tests. DH is wild this year, between the weather, crashes and mechanicals the results are all over the place. Like, I...

sam hill took all of 2020 off from racing and regarding matt walker, so far both races had very challenging and unpredictable conditions, IMO we can‘t really judge someone‘s form until there‘s a dry WE.

My guess is because so many brands will sell you a super-enduro bike: 170-180mm travel bike marketed as pedal friendly mini-DH bike. But there is a good point made here that the geo on DH bikes isn't quite the same as the latest and greatest super-enduro bikes.

7/14/2021 1:58pm I usually shitpost on pinkbike for those sweet upvotes, come here to talk racing and watch proper content. I also lurk on a some french forums in order to steal their team rumours and post them here pretending to be some knowledgeable industry insider

Werewolflotion Liked a comment about Feature Reece Wilson Talks To Vital About His Terrifying Les Gets World Cup DH Crash
7/6/2021 11:19am
One of the most sensational crashes (and runs tbf) I've ever seen during a WC. What this dude can do in the wet is just silly. I think Rob had some good insights during the broadcast, said the world champs jersey can mess with a lot of people but Reece is cozy as a clam in it and just seems to be coming into his own.

Vergier looking so fast, but also covered in muddy patches from crashing. Hope it stays dry and they all keep it together.

Eoin Added a reply to The HUGE downside of EMTB's
7/2/2021 6:07am I know this is tongue in cheek, but this actually is a pretty big downside: I mostly ride alone now as i get so much more done. My usual riding partner doesn't have an ebike, I feel bad but riding with him basically means getting only 50% of descents done. For a few months I was riding with 2 guys...
Eoin Added a reply to Les Gets Road Gap Carnage : (
7/2/2021 1:39am Yeah, with Rachel's gap the issue was the correct landing zone was extremely tight, basically had to land at the perfect distance. Cathro put it best in his video today on the road-gap "the landing is a bike length long", added to the fact that it is very blind and the take-off seems to point into the trees rather than...
