lmao, right next to the "patent this existing design, but make it slightly different" button on the Dave Weagle version.

Once you finish your installation of Auto Desk you can find the make fork button here. I'm sorry you've been manually designing this whole time Dave

the release of the transition relay shows us that the new sram groups are called X0 and XX, the 1 in the name is gone. guess an official release is imminent.

Sure looks like a new biek from Atherton: https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFlDpFLqtO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

That's like saying a set of allen keys assembled my bike, instead of saying I assembled my bike.

The new SRAM stuff does pretty rad, but is there any advantage of the whole derailleur being directly mounted to the frame via the direct mount option? More ground clearance? Smoother shifting? Isn't that what the hangers were for..if you strike a rock and just the hanger is bent, you can sometimes salvage the derailleur - and in this case being mounted directly, just replace the whole thing? won't come cheap...

One advantage is certainly that the new rear derailleurs are much flatter and do not protrude so far. The other is that SRAM uses its power more and its UDH dropout could become standard.

Neko on a proto Santa Cruz now?

Another spy shot of the new SRAM drivetrain from the Queenstown Bike Fest. The cranks and bash guard look pretty sweet.

Hey Primoz- you could just stand up more when you pedal and push a harder gear...

Fun fact about Pirelli is that 46% of the company is owned by Chinese ChemChina, which in October 2022, the United States Department of Defense added to a list of "Chinese military companies" operating in the U.S.

my guess will be not with what he's actually riding until that new stuff is officially released.

A winning setup doesn't last forever...I made the choice that I thought would bring me success for many years to come. Canyon has a bigger commitment to racing and winning and I've always felt I wanted a little extra help to go even faster. I recorded a podcast with Downtime last week so that should be out soon and explain some more.

Good morning to you too!

Mr. Moi Moi , Kasper and Angel seem to be like the only ones left. Seems to be something going on with the Specialized Enduro team too since they haven't released their team roster yet. Saw somewhere that Transition is putting together a "Factory" team... That still has to be announced.

And I correct that Jesse maintained a 29/29 set up on his Rocky? Whereas Remi and ALN were mixed 29/27b? Was hoping we might see some weirdness to get his new Canyon mixed but probably not based on a 3 second Google search for his bike check. Can't wait to see Jesse, Jack, and Richie continue their battles. Hopefully Martin is in the mix too.

It’s interesting to me that Canyon had the money to lure him away from Rocky but not enough to just keep Moir in the first place.

If I had to guess, I bet Rocky is somewhat psyched for Melamed and encouraged him to go make some good money for a few years that they currently aren’t in a position to match. They probably also told him that when he decides to take a step back from racing to come back and they would try to find some role for him again at Rocky. All good things come to an end and I suspect no bridges were burned here. I bet he is going to love the Rock Shox suspension.
