7/7/2022 1:02pm The last time I spoke with my contact at Norco he said they weren't planning on making mullet bikes. When the Range was in its prototyping phase, they made one in a mullet config but it was apparently consitently worse on the tracks they were testing on.

The problem is your view doesn't hold up long term, let alone even in the very short term. E-bikes are impossible to regulate, they're already being used illegally daily regardless of that silly and quite useless "Class" system & technology has already blown past the meager Class 1. Class 3 looks like a 1. SurRon looks like a 3 & a 2 & a 1. SurRon has already shattered a guys jaw & escaped. I've already seen two SurRons poaching Pisgah in less than a month. I see e-bikes poaching every single trail in Pisgah & they're illegal on all...

7/7/2022 12:45pm That's wrong. I know for a fact that the Optic is definitley not going high-pivot.

Starting Team Rumors with Seth is a very telling thing. Man how the world has changed. -Ebike racing is the new washed up racer who still wants to be pro move -Big S gets the interwebs and pays enough money for your tiktok stars to pay for legit video crew -Bearclaw is back on the Big S after ditching Canyon(where is the drama on this one????)

Interesting that they have a burly and xc/trail suspension platforms on the bike in different photos. Will be interesting to see if it reaches the public with different options and if one model may be up forked for a more aggressive geo. As far as ebike hate I got none for the bikes. But that said the vast majority of ebikers where I live are the worst. But to be fair they were the worst when they were on trail bikes with trust forks too.

7/5/2022 10:21am You sir are doing the lords work. Absolutely fantastic coverage, more than any viewer could ask for. Seriously, I love this more "intimate" style of coverage with all its little details about the venue and the track and the insights into your and your teams' journey at the races. You and Jack Moir have basically made the EWS interesting for...

Bit of bike setup talk in here: https://youtu.be/WwW8tQqTsRs It isn't my best work but I will get the hang of it for this format. Shakedown day could be a chance for me to get some of the extra content that you guys would like. The interviews on race day would be sweet but I don't want to impose on the guys if they aren't comfortable having that kind of stuff published. I feel like them talking to me is a bit more personal than talking to the media guys. And honestly, Jack gets some really good footage of that stuff...

David Assfalg, Propain CEO, released a statement a couple of weeks ago: https://www.propain-bikes.com/en/update-on-the-current-situation [i]Dear PROPAIN customers, mountain bikers, e-mountain bikers and bike friends! It is time for an update regarding our delivery situation. We have never had a situation like this at PROPAIN and neither expected nor guessed. Unfortunately, nothing has changed in the delivery situation since our last statement. The Ukraine conflict is further impacting production capacity by causing shortages of key raw materials. In addition, the ongoing lockdown in China is having a major impact on freight traffic, which has virtually collapsed. Delivery dates already firmly promised by...

One thing people seem to have not grasped fully is that the EWS have essential "dumbed down" the sharp end of the race series to facilitate TV production. The Pro-stage is all about TV, a stage that most often finishes near the paddock or a town, short enough to have multiple cameras placed on it and practiced once raced twice. So essential the pro stage idea was added to the racing to make TV. Like WRC has it's Power stage. Video the pro stage on Saturday, make a small live or Re-live show and then tell the story of the...

I am blessed that my main trials are 5 or so minutes from home, and other is over 100mi of trails, so...new things when desired (or new enough). The fact is the US Govt is now at war with its on middle and lower class. The people who mow our yards (who drive big trucks with big trailers) are being hurt the most - and raising their prices. I ride with two guys who own big lawn companies, both are hurting as people are cutting back on lawn care (fact is "Trickle-down" is real, as is "Trickle up"). It is...

7/5/2022 2:42am I know for a fact that there are currently no plans for an aluminium version of the Sender. They've got the Torque AL, which is basically a DH bike and can be built up to 200mm/185mm with a long-stroke shock, dual-crown fork. And the frame is Category 5 certified, exactly like the Sender.

6/30/2022 5:41am Anyone here heard any rumors about a new version of the Scott Ransom? As far ahead of the curve as that bike was in 2018, others have now caught up and the Ransom could do with an update IMO. I just hope they don't go full-on integration like they did with the Spark, Spark RC and Patron. Would also be...
