Incredible that Jordan Goldstone has won 7 races already!

Luca has to be one of the oldest first wins in World Cup downhill in a very long time right?. Race age 30+ for a first win sounds rare

yes, the tape would have blocked the wind!!!111

I made custom crowns for some dorados a few years ago doing the same thing

Shapeshifter needs to die...

It should not be this complicated.

99.5% of people looking for a GT or SC would have absolutely no fucking clue what Pon is lol. GT disappeared because all they had was their heritage, and that's not enough to carry a brand indefinitely as they pumped out mostly unappealing bikes year after year. I personally don't know anyone that considered buying one in recent memory. I had a GT bmx in 2006 and really liked it, so when I got properly into mountain biking I always looked at GT. Other options were always better. I stopped looking at them years ago. If GT was successful then...

Take it easy buddy. I’m not trying to derail the entire conversation but also think it’s allowed to have an aside now and again. There’s plenty of off topic quips that go on in this thread.

I think a better reason is because Ford was a nazi sympathizer. That said, we have more than likely all owned products from companies with ties to the nazis sadly.

They all broke and evil nearly went under.

For posterity. The current helmet camera rules have been in place since 2018

It seems like Neko and Aaron might be busy this season, but if they can find an English speaker who is as experienced, who actually knows the racers' stories, the broadcast would be sooooo much better.

I imagine it'll integrate with Flight Attendant. If so, you'll be able to define the different degrees of float based on what Flight Attendant is determining you're doing at the time. Climbing? 3º. Descending? 16º. Want something else? Tweak it in the app. That's probably more difficult to pull off than I think...but I bet they're working on it!

I think one of the largest "We're not in Kansas anymore" moments I had when I began working for a component manufacturer after years in bikes shops was when I had the insignificance of aftermarket sales explained to me. Don't get me wrong, every brand worth their salt is going to support aftermarket product bc why leave money on the table, but OE sales are king in the bike industry and ultimately OE sales drives every design decision. SRAM gets to push the convenience of full SRAM spec by limiting cross compatibility. For brands like Canyon, Specialized, etc., who are...

To be fair, the bicycle industry shares a TON of common parts. We are pretty spoiled with that. In a lot of other wheeled industries, there are not the compatibility opportunities that we have. In motorcycles, typically bars and tires are some of the only commonly compatible parts. To take forks from one dirt bike and put them on another often requires changing wheels or wheel spacers, crowns, brake calipers, and the stem. We just swap it over and are annoyed we have to remove a crown race. We question a brand for using a less common standard or a...

It’s kinda crazy that they still don’t understand how splits work. ie - The (#) is the split ranking. Green vs red is just against the leaders sum. They will say something like “he’s the fastest thru the 1st section” just because it’s green. When it reality they are maybe 10th and the leader was 11th.

You must have missed the world champs and olympics, that guy sounds like he's having a stroke whenever he commentates.
