finn on the new prototype specialized does anyone else hope the derailleur is fakeNews?

Am I showing my age, or you showing your lack of age?

Who are the 3 riders who broke their contracts?

Bernard out with a broken wrist and hand, and Ryan Griffith sustained a concussion and a gnarly gash to his face. Apparently both crashes happened in the same section. Healing vibes and bummer news for the Pivot crew just days before the first race :/

2 days of racing, long stages, riders wearing packs, crazy techy transfers, huge variety in bikes/gear. Glo would be proud! Maybe there is hope? Just need to work on the female entries. 4 racers in Jr women is not good.

"Privateer" Booker wins on flats on an SC Bronson after taking the final stage. HH wins on belt driven gearbox alum monster of a bike. Fantastic and unbelievably close racing! We need a bike check on both of these bikes.

Have you seen leap components? https://leapcomponents.com/product/quadshift/ Also, I want a press in, easy reach adjust headset, like the new canyon sender

It looks like Rudeau switched back to a standard Fox 38 instead of the USD fork that was shown in his instagram post. I wonder if he decided that the RSU fork rode better for Pietra, or if there was a mechanical of some sort and the Fox folks didn’t have the replacement parts they needed on hand?

0.3 seconds over 48 minutes of racing is 0.01 PERCENT difference in time, that is unbelievable. I cannot wait for the next rounds have in store.

I just got a Storia v3 for a Firebird and have really struggled. Gushing noises aside, this is the loudest shock I’ve had. Unacceptably loud. I just got a lighter tune and spring and it’s even louder. Sounds like a water bottle bouncing off the top tube, but I had no water bottle. Very distracting while riding. I reached out to a local tuner and he had this to say: We can also remove the divider ball in it to quiet things out by a lot and also it will softlen the damper feel. Just keep in mind that after...

Mt creek is insanely rough on bikes in the wet. Dirt is insanely grippy but it just seems to absolutely coat, stick, and wear in a way that other places do not. Kind of like driving your truck on the beach.

I love Sam's riding but didn't need a couple minutes in the middle of him riding down a road failing to pop manuals. They possibly could have toned down the BWEEEEEeeeeeeeEEEEE eeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEE

You'd think "Video of Sam Hill on a Motorcycle" would be amazing, but somehow that thing made one of the greatest riders of all time look positively underwhelming. And I have nothing against ebikes. Oh well, get your bag Sam. You earned it.

I (re)set my pressures regularly because I’ve found ambient temperature differences can make a material difference (+\- 10psi). Where I ride 20 degrees F difference in temp ride to ride in the summer is frequent.

Not that I am for people outright cloning other companies' products, I have experienced this professionally myself and it is infuriating, but there is zero IP theft happening with Lewis copying Trickstuff's brakes. Design patents are a type of IP that protects the aesthetics of a product, keeping me too products from existing, but they are super rare and very difficult to get granted. Utility patents which are the IP that one would file for to protect a function or feature, like leverage adjustment or bite point adjustment cover nothing related to how something looks. Lewis copying Trickstuff's brakes does...
