8/30/2021 12:58am Latest Capra would suit well in either 29er (CS = 438mm) or MX (CS = 433mm). Looks like a really sorted geo, nothing too extreme but all very modern. Good luck finding stock however...

Way too much inside jokes and interrupting. I'm sure it's all great for people that follow them, but not really an "inside line" episode

These 3 don't do it for me. Maybe I have high expectations after 3+ years of very interesting VitalMTB podcats with spomer but this one is below the quality bar for me. The weird teenage banter, inside joke rambing combined with no structre and little insight from an athlete pov ... I switched off after 15min. Inside line and Needles show how it's done for WCs.

It looks like he broke physics, such a weird slow yet high bounce. Incredible he walks away from it apparently uninjured, he seems to have one of those mental crashes every other season (infamous PMB frontflip and there was another one I can't remember where where he gets up and says "oh my god I'm not hurt!?!")

so got news from the squids and lawlor just now, brook had a MASSIVE crash in practice. obviously he's ok b/c he quali'd 47th, but sven said "looked worse than MSA". ugh. it was captured on video and should surface somewhere at some point (if we even want to see it). danny punctured, apparently his 5th on this week! loic had a BONKERS crash that we've seen (waiting to see if we can post). he drops out of the sky after compressing off some rocks entering the woods. it's crazy out there.

I can't be the only person thinking someone at Trek made a mistake and sent the world's bikes to Maribor?

I would argue that the main advantage is mental, you feel prepared and that you have an advantage, maybe don't need to push as hard during training physically. That said, turning up a few weeks early to fully sort out tyre compounds/threads/casing as well as suspension setup and, for some, linkages could easily be a 0.5-1s gain that in many races will be the difference between top 10 and podium. e.g. Maribor, Hart in 8th is 1.2s behind 3rd place.

@sticks https://dirtmountainbike.de/produkte/frisch-produziert/sagt-hallo-zu-de… well the syndicate made it look easy on a Bronson, but I live 30 minutes from Cap D'Ail and have never bothered to ride there, too harsh and no flow.

8/17/2021 12:13am Don't syndicate riders need to drink a minimum of 5 beers post race (or equivalent in wine)? Another few years for Jackson before he can join the team spirit(s).

Someone must have some incredibly organized archives to be able to find such specific clips, too.

8/12/2021 2:01am Norton missing Maribor due to positive covid test, is Luca Shaw the only US podium contender still attending?
Geometry charts are labelled wrong, unless it somehow got steeper head angle over time. Nice looking bike and geometry, surely a great ride, but I've never really understood why Pivot have such boutique pricing, considering the middle of the pack geo/looks.
