fireant Added a reply to Should There Be a 29er DH Class and 27.5 DH Class at World Cups?
4/27/2017 9:56am No point... If 29er's end up massively faster then why would anyone race in a 27.5 class or vice versa... Who'd want to be known as the winner of the slower race? Racing is about being the fastest.. so if this new (to downhill) size makes some people quicker then why would you wan't to make it slower? Only reason...

I hope you all read this because it's something of a "fact". I write insurance, some pretty crazy policies too sometimes, and one thing to understand is that THERE IS NO INSURANCE POLICY FOR THIS TYPE OF EVENT!!! Sure, you race a USAC bike race, you get secondary coverage that will pay 70/30 after you use all of your existing policy and that's just a bike race, not an "event" (IF YOUR INSURER DEEMS RAMPAGE IS COVERED). But that coverage is easy, simple and a large pool of risk (100's of thousands of riders). Pretty generic "racing" risk. But even...
