To be fair, I happened to watch his vlog from the other day, dude is slumming it in NZ. He is driving some beat up pickup that barely starts, not sure he has a mechanic with him... It might just be what parts were available to him out there. Also interesting to note there was some discussion around Ronan going absolutely mental with training in NZ, apparently hitting the bike park for dozens of laps a day every day. Dude is either going to end up injured, dominate or burnt out by the start of the season. (I hope it's...

Did you say Dan Atherton 👀

Camden Rutherford to intense factory racing. Pivot dropped the ball so hard losing this kid, jackson goldstone jr.

I just made an account to make this comment, I'm the guy in that video. They definitely felt bizarre and completely wrong the first couple days with them, which is all we showed in the video. After riding them more I started to love them, and I'll get them on again once the bike park opens. They're not an advantage over normal chainless riding, they're just goofy and fun. Lots of people reached out to buy a set from us, but ours was just a one off we made. If those people put their money where their mouth is that...

My guess is Brembo and the American bike company being Specialized. Brembo own Ohlins, who sponsor the Specialized DH team.

Sorry, missed the word "running." Lots of copy/paste rearranging to make my stuff make a little more sense. I must have missed it in a copy/paste frenzy. I'm not saying "this is what's happening" I'm saying "this is the lengths this could be stretched to." Yep, I used "mafia" in one phrase to illustrate an opportunity for corruption and then I used "wholesome and benevolent" in the next to illustrate an opportunity for really embracing DH fans. I'm talking about possibilities not throwing accusations. I'm not sure I understand your criticism. Perhaps I'm too stupid to understand and you could...

Good catch. I was a little confused with this so I digged around and found that Emmy Lan is also on the Dunbar team. Those who noted Connor didn't officially say goodbye goodbye could be correct. Maybe forbidden is getting some help with their gravity team this year and no longer are a "factory" team and have Dunbar/ Corsa cycles joining the program for support... Interesting as at this time I don't think Dunbar or Corsa sells forbidden bikes. Both Emmy Lan and Rhys Verner reside in Squamish where Corsa cycles is located...

This is the (Horst) linkage, defining the axle path: This drives the shock: If it's the same colour, it's a single piece. The chainstay of the horst link has an extension, to which the red short link attaches and pulls down on it to rotate the silver rocker, driving the shock.

I did A-B-A testing on each day aiming to get in 5 quality laps before swapping tyre, then 5 laps, swapping back again and another 5 laps. Timing was done by picking the exact GoPro frame where I crossed a specific feature on the trail, e.g. tree, rock, post etc so that I could get accurate timing to 1/60th sec and construct a perfect lap taking the best from each sector. The results often surprised me and I think "feel" can be misleading. The Assegai for example felt epic, but in the data it is slower in every sector.

Looks like a Yeti logo on the pants right below the left hand.

You can say your buddy works at Propain it's okay.

This low weight Ebike conversation has me laughing in Norco Range.

New Orbea DH bike?

As the originator of freckle gate.... I've got nothing. The top of the shock is clearly visible. I don't know what size bike Bulldog rides but I think he is on the shorter side? The medium TR11 does not have a shock extender so the shock is nestled in the downtube and you wouldn't see it like this. Clearly he is blurring out the mounting points. If he rides a large TR11, then that is an option. Otherwise it could be Ari, Polygon (doubt it), Zerode (unlikely given the components). I also think that based on the original disguised image...

Loic posted this on his insta. Is he moving to Sellotape, 3M, Gorilla tape? Wild!

Only one brake rotor visible in bulldogs bike build post on Instagram, potential switch to unicycle team? What NZ based unicycle brands are there?

I guess with DNIS brakes you skip steps 2 & 3 and go straight to neglect?
