Thanks for sharing your insightful opinions on the nationhood of Wales and Scotland, however I feel they're wasted on the Team Rumors forum. Have you considered a speaking tour of Wales and Scotland? That way you could re-educate the locals and correct their misunderstandings. I'm sure you'd receive a warm welcome.

Thats sick but I want that fork. To be honest if it worked at 160mm Id take it just for the advantage of having a perfectly aligned stem. I know, first world mtb problems.

Just seen in Finale Ligure: Seems like Formula has an Air Can in the works.

Seriously incredible news, and to hear this is title sponsored by a massive, somewhat outside the industry company is even better news! I’m stoked to see where they take it. I hope it turns into a multi event weekend style thing, with XC, DH and maybe some slalom/pump track so we can have a now a days NORBA!

Did you not see the multiple "Welsh Enduro" wins. i.e. Wales, the country. Appreciate that nuance may be lost on non-UK people - the UK is a United Kingdom of separate countries: England, Scotland, Wales and NI. I also don't think it's "silly" to say athletes need to get better at being a brand representative/storyteller for their sponsors, rather than just the race results. There's a handful of hardcore race fans who can remember who placed where and when, but a far, far greater potential audience of people engaging with an athlete who documents their training, setup, riding and racing...

i put this in the racing talk forum too, but hooray for #USDH! https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/monster-energy-pro-downhill…

YAY, even more SX comparisons! Just what we all come here for, in an MTB forum of all places....

I'm specifically talking about twisting, i.e if the mount is partially twisted (off axis), the derailleur can't adjust to that (to my knowledge). The view that we will make it so strong it won't deform and twist, is inferior in my opinion to a design where you can simply twist it back into alignment.

High five for “Joins ways” on that article title. That made me laugh.

A friend at the shop I used to work at says they're getting Transmission problems all the time (mostly imprecise setup and some have had the mount start 'chewing' into the frame, but no broken stays as far as I know). Seems like it's generally better suited to a high standard of frame quality and very careful setup, two things not typically associated with most mountain bikes and their riders

This looks pretty good, but I'm left wondering how many people can stand on it?

Guy is already lowballing before release lmao

The bottom line is I don't like it enough to pay for it if I don't have to and I dislike Discovery as a company. What they've done with Max will just lead to more poachers. Are you one of those people who believe the riders will see any of that subscription money? Good luck with that.

Did Matt Beer accidently spilled beans on the Other Site, or is he just guessing?

Is that a Schwalbe logo (~5 o’clock) sharpied out?

Oneup is owned by PON????? sheesh they cast a long shadow these days.

The PB team was anemic looking way before any pandemic occurred. Having met both Mikes in person many years ago, "internet bike dork" was quite fitting. But nice guys.

That's Meg's story he has reposted, so her new bike in the stand..
