Regarding salaries, I don’t think any rider, no matter how good their last season was - is making more than last year. Unless they may have moved up from a small team to a big factory set up like Kolb did. I dunno about his salary. But I know due a fact, that - in enduro at least - top...

Regarding stiffness - can’t remember who said it, it was one of the USD manufacturers if I remember correctly - the hub-fork-axle interface is one of the most crucial parts regarding stiffness. So if they can figure that part out - ideally without a proprietary hub - then they could be on to something good. I’d love a USD fork...

Got a little more on that rumor than this? I’m curious. this may be on odd approach/take but I’ve seen and heard others say the same thing: if you live in very dusty places, the dust wipers have a better life on a USD fork since there’s not as much dust in the hub area than at the top of...

Given the state of the industry and enduro, most enduro racers that are without a ride for next season, probably won’t get one with the UCI being so vague about enduro and its plans for it…

I talked to a factory rider of a well known d2c brand. He also had ridden an Amflow bike with the dji motor and said he’s never ridden a bike with this good of a motor. He rode stuff up that he considered unridable on any other e-bike including his own sponsors e-bike. And the current e-bike of his sponsor...

Didn’t the Shimano guy on the pinkbike podcast say that one of their goals is to always have a well working mechanical XT drivetrain? All this wireless only and 13 speed does not really sound typical for them

Having six kids, I can justify a good bike. It’ll get used lots. But it’s also something to buy these kind of bikes as a dad with a large family… but then again, they are a good investment when you got lots of kids and you can actually fix these bikes…

Can confirm the bottle is low and best reached for during mellow moments of climbs. It's not ridiculously out of reach, but it's further than some bikes.

The thing I've learned from all this broken derailleur talk is that I don't ride hard enough.

There was a strong rumor going around recently that the Enduro was going to get an UDH update soon, like real soon. But crickets so far. I dont think you'll be seeing a new Enduro design till mid next year.

Alu Stunty has been seen out in the wild under sponsored riders.....complete with holes for analogue gears!! It's all gone a bit quiet on the enduro front though.

Hey guys, I can’t find the post anymore, it’s been a few months at this point, someone mentioned specialized’s releases for this year - it was a statement from a British bike journalist if I remember correctly. Was it mentioned that the new Enduro would be out this year? Any rumors on the Alu Stumpjumper? Maybe y’all can help a...
