1/3/2024 11:45am Tall and lanky is not me haha. It's a good one though, I was surprised, and stoked, when I heard who.

1/1/2024 11:59am More like I finally have the option of a downhill bike so I want to see what all the hype is about. I am plenty happy with Enduro and from what I've heard internally, contrary to rumours, Enduro isn't going anywhere. But just wait till you see my latest bike, new year new me.

10/2/2023 6:07pm Yea, I was speaking towards the casing/sidewall prototype. But I actually raced both of them, I swapped halfway through the day. The Mudslayer(not the actual name) was also super good.

10/2/2023 4:24pm My 2cents. I raced the 'prototype' tire in Chatel, after testing it at home, and was extremely happy with it. It shrugged off some gross impacts and felt good doing it. I'm running DT Swiss so that might help too.

7/28/2023 4:52pm Thanks for the compliments but we all know you're not just 'some guy', and I'm just a bike nerd like the rest. What you are saying makes sense. All I really have is a lot of ride time on the new Transmission, as well as the older AXS on some of my other bikes. All I said was the electronics...

7/28/2023 1:57pm I don't know where you're getting that from. The electronics help the derailleur shift as soon as there is a shift ramp, so it's a perfect shift every time. The mechanical drivetrain will work, but it won't work as well.

5/30/2023 9:25am I'm pretty sure I'm 167cm tall. Not really! I was worried to run the 2.5 on the front but I didn't notice any issues, and because I run DHR2 on the rear I am able to run a 2.4 if I'm running the 471 in the rear. Honestly, I still haven't found my perfect wheel setup/choice yet. Still testing, still...

5/29/2023 12:28am Seth wasn’t willing to drill a hole in his seat was he? It’s a normal AXS dropper, normal battery. Different seat clamps to get the right angle and then the plastic drilled out to allow the seat to get to that angle.

5/20/2023 3:34pm I'll get there. I had a priority list of things to tackle once I changed teams and getting my suspension completely dialled was more important than Flight Attendant.

3/18/2023 11:13pm Back to the carbon covers like he had on the last bike. Almost makes it more intriguing because we can see more, but still understand nothing about what is going on.

3/18/2023 5:13pm Probably just the telemetry mount?

3/18/2023 4:00pm Looks like the cover is off. A distinct lack of side-profile photos and weird cropped photos.

2/27/2023 12:15am I really liked the Strive platform, the suspension really impressed me and I think the shapeshifter is cool for big days on the bike. BUT, having raced in Tasmania before I felt like the Spectral would be better suited for those rounds with it being more nimble, for me. With the long break after the first block I think I'll...

1/27/2023 9:05am 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...
