The one way I could see to run cables similar to headset routing without the drawbacks of going through the headset bearings would be to use oversized headset cups similar to those used for reach adjustment. Put the ports just behind the headset bearings but not through the headset. Routing wouldn't be any worse than "standard" internal routing, but the ports on the sides of the head / down tube could be eliminated.

From what I've gathered, BK's family has business ventures that pay more than MTB. Don't underestimate that if you come from a family that knows how to operate successful ventures, you hit the ground running much smoother. The resources he has access to in the background to manage budgets, negotiate contracts, handle advance planning, schedule adjustments & so much more I don't doubt help BK be more efficient than most teams that come & go. It doesn't hurt that while he has all the toys a guy could ask for, he doesn't seem to hesitate to get his hands dirty...

One thing he mentioned that stood out to me was how Discovery/ESO don't understand mountain biking. He mentioned it focused on Enduro but it applies to DH as well. That's how we end up with the lack of story telling / buildup of excitement throughout practice, qualifying, semis, and finals. It's also how we end up with drone shots from far away or shots that don't show the rider's lower body or bike, and cutting away from the rider mid run to show the team manager. ESO simply isn't run by mountain bike racing fans. Additionally ESO is only focused...

Couldn't disagree more. Rented an aluminum ransom which was sublime on steep tech and jumped well, yet was extremely efficient when pedaling. Great frame, if owning I'd have dumped the scott lockout crap.

More photos of new Ransom. 3 colors, 2 sets on axs, 1 on standard cables.

Except the Gambler. Still one of the best looking dh bikes out there.

The look of the 2018-2023 Ransom Generation has always been the favorite for me. It's simple, and in review and test riding just works. If that's the new frame design I'd be quite sad because that is real ugly looking.

The parameters for my list were they had to make a legit, full suspension, non-e-bike frame.

Making fun of anyone's accent is juvenile and pathetic. Do better.

Has he gotten along with any bikes since he was on Trek World Racing forever ago? At some point you have to start looking at yourself and your decision making. And to that effect, why would anyone pay him to ride their bike if he has not produced results in a few seasons at this point and has a reputation for being negative about his equipment.

Has that effectively doxxed all of their pro athletes, like that's their actual addresses right?

you know what you americans should do? stop thinking that you are the center of the world.

Ya can’t just keep popping in here like a regular-ass person. It freaks me out … It’s Benoit, innit? Fabian talking English to throw us off, not something obvious like a reflection on a chrome espresso machine handle. I mean, who’d do that …

Who did you say it was, I forgot…

Probably a good fit for both really.

It's a......Cube 215.

God, the Bluetooth speaker Chads are something else. Can't decide if I hate them more than Ebbers poaching trail or NIMBYs sabotaging trail. All of them are selfish twats ruining a nice ride.

We actually blocked you. Because of all the other crap not the thinking something is too progressive. You’re actually the only person we’ve ever blocked. I guess you get some sort of an award or something. Not sure it’s one I’d want…
