All

With all the tire debate going on, anyone noticed Bruni running Argotal's? Can't understand why as Specialized have a similar tire that is supposed to be real good.

No room 4 water bottle. that’s like cable tourism 4 me 🤷‍♀️

I would be shocked if they don't also have a "light" e-bike system in the works as well.

Looks like SRAM is baking in an automatic Transmission? Auto Shift shows up in the HUD with what looks like cadence adjustments.

You spelled park/DH bike strangely. Nothing "enduro" about a close ratio DH cassette, DC fork, and lack of a dropper post. I dig it though

XTR cranks have a preload ring.

So how big of a social media impact does he have? I can't ride the things he does & can't pay attention to him or Metallier's accents the same as I can't pay attention to Cedric for the same reason. So I NEVER watch their edits.

time to sell those 200 an ebike too!

One thing that I hope they have considered if the whole E-EDR only in 2025 rumours are true: here in France E-bikes have been accepted quite early and more and more people buy them, most bikes I see on trails are electric at this point... But no one races them! At a regional enduro race, you might get 200 mtb racers and less than a hundred ebike racers. DH numbers seem to be trending upwards also. And I say this as a rider that only rides ebikes, does a bit of racing and tries to get some info about E-EDR...

Isn't there already a thread for "Here's what I think of the UCI and ESO" around here? To get back on topic, I'm in talks with Pepto Bismol Racing for the 2024 season

A PR piece rife with conceit and smugness speaks volumes of the company.

None of that falls under the UCI’s role

It’s no surprise that with how bad the coverage has been, tracks are “meh”, and riders seeming less interested this particular year, that teams are dissolving. The global economy and ripple effects from Covid boom have certainly played a major role as well. WCDH is heading in the same direction. Seems like UCI screwed the pooch this year with almost everything, so much that racers were stoked about the smallest things. if you’re paying for a streaming service to watch the races, I’d say now is good time to stop. A significantly low enough rating for the last rounds of...

To be fair, and without talking abd about Brook (he is a friend of mine), there are very few bikes that get along with him.

I’m calling BS on their being a issue with Loic and Finn… Finn has said in many interviews that he wants to win, that’s his goal and he believes he can do it, and he’s also said if it’s not him winning he would want his team mates winning. when Loic came down after his run and was clearly frustrated how things went…. Finn was first over there to support him. Specialized looks to the best program in the pits.. he’s got has got a bike that clearly works….. why would he leave? He would need to get used to...

Why would any team stay in enduro honestly? There’s absolutely zero coverage or exposure besides what the racers put out themselves. No return on investment. Discovery has mangled the DH and more so enduro racing. Bike companies will be pulling the plug on gravity race teams and you can’t blame them.

Privateer's put in more effort to racing than Dean. Dean hasn't raced a race outside the World Cup (where he has only quallied for the semi's twice) all season, thus no UCI points. Other racers not on teams have raced ISX, Crankworx and national rounds in Europe to get the points required to race. Many are taking the fact they are on a team for granted and will be in for a rude shock if they are dropped or cant pick up a ride in 2024 and wont be able to race a world cup. With more than one likely...
