WRAP. IT. UP. B. team rumors or I flood this place with Chappelle clips (which i may do anyway).

Nope. There are still batteries. I have a Shockwiz, bought it, put it on the bike, set the clickers (I have an RC2 Lyrik and a Super Deluxe Ultimate) and that was it. I do not change anything. I do not lock my rear shock. I just ride. For someone knowing exactly what and how all the clickers do, for someone so vocal about tech stuff on the forum, for someone thinking it would be cool to have a power meter, to have more advanced suspension analysis gear and someone thinking how to put strain gauges onto the frame to...

The wireless Reverb is good because it has no hoses/cables going through the frame, so it's really clean and easy to mount. Electronic shifting is... Is it really needed? Especially given the price? Electronic suspension is also something I doubt is needed... The calibration should be a PITA due to the difference in systems that we have (rider weights and heights), you require a few sensors and a control box, batteries, etc. For what. What's wrong with a properly sorted rear suspension geometry and a shock (and fork) with adjustable low speed compression? For the fear of sounding old and...

Um, we covered it in here that Gwin had the rug pulled from under him regarding YT, he was literally having dinner with the CEO during worlds, talking about how it's a matter of days to sign the contract, then something like next week he was told the programme is done. And then they decided to continue (in a smaller capacity with Angel only or something like that). He scrambled and did the deal with Intense, wreaking havoc in the Intense Factory Racing team that was running Sram gear with Jack Moir, Dean Lucas and Charlie Harrison, with the latter...

To be fair, interest is a personal thing, I’m pretty interested in seeing where any of the Scottish lads are going this year, Lewis, Jamie, Lachlan ect. I get that some might not be interested. Like I just flick through the XC/freeride stuff on here, no really that interested and don’t know most of them. But it’s Cool to see what others are looking out for.

I was just joking around with that "quote". I could totally see what you're saying being true. I also am not sure where ohlins is manufactured, but seeing the wait times on parts from shimano/sram/fox, I wonder if they've hit production issues due to the pandemic and can only fulfill OEM orders.

Neither of which falls under 'the frames are the same'...

What? This completely blind sided me.

Let's be honest, where else was he going?

@HAEKTPON - last warning - stop cluttering up this forum thread. you're posting too often, with too much nonsense.

YES OUR SAVIOUR ANGEL

there are post/view counts on the forum. i love the crowd in this forum. they are civil, knowledgable and calculated. please do not respond to this reply, let the team rumors carry on w/o these distractions.

Giant, at least here in Australia support a LOT of riders and athletes. Lot's of endorsement type deals for athletes of other sports to ride their bikes, but they support a lot of Juniors and up and coming racers here. It's commendable stuff actually. It seems they are not throwing all their $$ into a racer(s) but rather distributing it at a grassroots level and helping a lot of youngsters reach their potential in a relatively expensive sport.
