Here you go:

That'd be wild, I figured Brosnan as a lifer with Canyon, and for SC to afford 5 very high profile riders would be shocking given the climate of the bike industry nowadays

High pivot doesn't make a 'wonder bike' it makes a plough Bike(in general)

I don't see Greg retiring after the season he's had this year, he's got unfinished business...

Id be interested in your brake. I’ll DM you. I have 2 set of V4E4 and love them. Very like lever pull and very progressive power. You can drag or make them lock with more pressure. They do not bite like Shimano. I run the green pad in rear and red up front. My DH bike had for a about a year. Prob 100+ laps and no issues. I came off code then magura and could never get consistent rides with magura.

It Reminds me of the Pat Barry and Rose Namajunas situation... I'll leave it at that

ok. I'm done here. I'll see myself out.

I don't get the downvotes for this, its team rumors, not team news, that's for Jan 1 and One Ghost is teasing some stuff until then to make people question stuff. If he just said everything, he'd stop getting the info to do so. These threads have been, in the past, for cliffhangers, jokes, puzzles and falsehoods. Have fun with it and don't be so frickin serious, silly season on here used to actually be silly and everyone's making it out to be such a grind the last 2-3 seasons. Make some shit up and enjoy it. Give people some...

Should influencers and YouTubers be included in team rumours? I don’t care what product they talk about. Be nice to keep this to teams and racing talk.

Sam’s sat with a smashed foot in a cast (that’s only recently been taken off) for the best part of half a year. That’s how I’d expect him to look. Hope the CRC / Nukeproof riders and staff get some things sorted out, it was a large umbrella that supported lots of people.

It seems to me that there's a lack of proper journalism in mountain biking i.e. who's asking ESO, Discovery etc the difficult questions given what Discovery's investment was supposed to bring to EWS.

Pretty disheartening to see all of these athletes without a ride but to be honest I’m surprised any brands are fielding an EDR team at this point. Zero coverage last year and sounds like 2024 will be its last season. Why would you pump cash into a sinking ship? Separately I wonder how old Chris Ball is feeling about all this? Yes probably not too badly on his big pile of cash but there must be some conflicting emotions seeing as EWS was his baby for an entire decade.

Yeah, 100 grams of rotating mass sounds like a lot, but generally speaking, I think it's really hard to identify what I'm feeling and where it's coming from on a bike. I think I could probably notice a 100 gram difference in tires if it was a front wheel and we did back to back testing with the same bike, same trail, and same wheels on the same day, and that's if you told me we were testing tire weight. But if you did blind testing and didn't tell me what change to be looking for, I'm not sure I...

can 90% confirm no EDR in 2025 as it will all be E-EDR. DH will be top 15 teams only. Fees went through the roof to register for '24. A trade team is now 11,500 Euro and a non-trade team will be 5500 Euro.

doesn‘t matter, its gonna be less and less with each coming year, there is a clear trend in the last years sold MTB 2017 269500 sold MTB 2018 271700 = + 2200 sold MTB 2019 215500 = - 56200 sold MTB 2020 152200 = - 63300 sold MTB 2021 141000 = - 11200 sold MTB 2022 95600 = - 45400 sold EMTB 2018 245000 = + 90200 sold EMTB 2019 360400 = + 144900 sold EMTB 2020 585000 = + 224600 sold EMTB 2021 680000 = + 95000 sold EMTB 2022 836000 = + 156000 (all numbers germany)

I once met Fabian Barel getting out of a unmarked white van at the top of a long road climb during Whistler Crankworx 2013, I asked for a photo but he said 'you never saw me'. He didn't seem very friendly

UCI had next to nothing to do with this year's world cups. Why is this so hard for people to grasp

What if a larger team loses the title sponsor? One of the very few that is from outside the industry.
