I'm not yet convinced. The podium was Loic, Troy, Finn, Dakotah, and Luca. Every one of those riders has either won a WC or been on a podium multiple times, and they've done that without the aid of electronically controlled damping. I think it's a stretch to say the new tech is what separated them from the rest of the field. Did electronic damping controls provide a competitive advantage on this specific track? Maybe. It's certainly possible. But we don't know how much the riders were using it, or if they were all using it in the same way (Flight...

I was watching Bruni's Gopro footage from Fort William practice, and something caught my eye. From the footage you can actually see when he switches between damping modes from the LEDs on his stem. It happens at least 3 times: 1) blue mode off the start till at least the wood section (I did not check if he switches anything in the upper section); 2) green mode in the wood section until the second turn/shark fin after the road gap; 3) back to blue mode for the new fast section; 4) red mode from the bridge before the motorway to...

I got in last night, ready to catch up on my stories: Dialed, maybe a Cathro, some rider vlogs…buoyed by the press conference vid, I was hyped! Got the coffee ready for this morning. Ready. Didn’t see a Dialed (hm) but watched the RAWs and some POVs…watched the dude Flo (English subtitles!—sick!) then i saw the screenshot for the UCI practice vid. Said out loud, “what is D N B? Is that another new abbreviation?” Cued that piece up and went out to the kitchen for a snack. My partner was now involved in trying to decipher this new D...

Sounds like you're a shitty boss. Good employees aren't hard to find if you pay them reasonable wages and treat them respectfully. If minimum wage is your starting point you're already all kinds of fucked from the jump.

+6 Months. ENVE composites announce management restructure and appoint ex CFO of Kickin'! Sportswear to lead the company. +12 Months ENVE to shut Ogden offices and production as company focus on offshore manufacturing with the loss off 150 jobs. They looked at the company.......saw how they can cut production overheads whilst maintaining the premium price. Will dilute the brand whilst wringing it for as much as they can then dump whats left in 3-5 years.

You mean you don’t want to cut away from an attack at the front group to watch ninth place pass a split that’s displayed on screen uncontested.

I'm fully on with this. Not sure why some peeps are getting downvoted for similar opinions. I appreciate this is fort bill and that there are new "sections," but it's the same track. People have been riding this track for 15 years...it's why it will be off the circuit soon. This is the only track where I like the "motor way." it is necessary down there. You want best jumpers to win, time Dark Fest. If I had my druthers, I would just ask for more variety across tracks...widen the tape in some areas for line choice, narrow it in...

Can anyone name a single 180 degree turn that has a long, technical lead in followed by a technical off camber exit? It doesn't "need" to be on TV, but it should be in the courses. And a HARD SPRINT somewhere. Just a douchebag, speed killing, lung busting 5-8 pedal strokes. Guys running 155mm cranks and no sprocket is getting too "coaster park" for me.

Has any official word come from Fox on why they are not doing Dialed anymore? This was by far the best series to watch during the season.

This is crazy, the best race weekend content by MILES. Fox should of been able to find a way to monetize this better to be able to justify it seemed like it got good views and everything. UCI should higher these two guys and keep it rolling, the stuff with Jordi was great but the interview format and track walk stuff was really great.

Here's another thought on Amaury's steel oval-shaped chainstay. The obvious conclusion is that they're chasing a particular amount of flex that they couldn't get out of aluminum, but here's another idea: What if they already had the level of flex they wanted out of the old bike, but they were breaking aluminum chainstays left and right? It makes sense that the chainstay would be the weak point in a flexy rear end, because it's the direct line from the bottom bracket (aka where most of the rider's mass is transmitted to the rest of the chassis) to the rear axle...
