i guess what doesn't add up for me is that in changing between teams that both run shimano he had to use another brand crank? did he already sell off his old bikes and not have any spares sitting around? is shimano's supply chain that hard up they couldn't even get cranks to a factory sponsored team rider?

Looks like a Hope crank with some sort of Saint decal on it to me Smile Check spider and axle interface for reference

yea i think you're right. i zoomed in on that capture then pulled up the hope spider and the silver part on the tabs right below the chainring bolts is a dead giveaway. it would be very odd for shimano to go back to using a self extracting bolt, and on the drive side too. plus, i would find it...

its certainly possible, it's not like he couldn't still be waiting on a component or two for a new team. the placement of the decal looks a little off too. the "S" is cut off in a way that it isn't on the m820 cranks. would also explain why there were no closeups of the cranks in the video. my...

i'm inclined to say they're not, still 104bcd. not that the new ones couldn't be 104bcd, but unlikely given that they've changed all the other groups to direct mount. plus he's still riding the 10 spd saint drivetrain best capture i could manage:

i remember seeing when the site went down and laughing to myself about how long they thought they'd be down to change ERP systems and thinking their timeline was awfully optimistic.

Trickstuff has pushed their re-opening back to March 1st. It was originally Jan 18, then Jan 23. The modal on their site says it's so they can migrate to a new ERP (enterprise resource planning) system and I am not surprised by the date changes; migrations like that are brutally complex (I've led a few) and I was surprised they originally said they'd do in a month. From the outside it doesn't speak especially well of whoever is managing the project though, and they have my deepest sympathies, this stuff is freakin' hard (and if they're trying to integrate w/...

I do agree with his Jeff’s sentiments that there really isn’t a conspiracy to be found when mike kazimer says specialized shoes are good or an enduro is fun to ride. I do find the whole thing interesting though. Definitely goes to show how big specialized is. I would’ve assumed their fuck you money was in the tens rather than hundreds of millions of dollars.

Piggy, I think that's a view from an American perspective where the narrative is that we're so under-vaccinated here. If you look globally, eastern Europe has much lower in vaccination rates. I would say that it's likely the Americans are some of the more vaccinated athletes in the world cup racer scene. That said, we don't have that many world cup racers anymore so it's a small sample size. It's know that many in the world tour road peloton remain unvaccinated and I'm sure it's similar in much of the XC MTB crowd.

i knew this post would be a shitshow, but i think this is an important piece of info for world cup racers to consider. media and team people, too. quite frankly, i'm really surprised that anyone responds to trolls or argumentative people on either side of an opinion in an internet forum these days. the simpsons still say it best 27 years later. just don't look (if you don't look or respond, it means nothing). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlKao_Pox5A

Thanks for the facts Lucent! People seem to forget that their children must have certain vaccines to attend public school, in the US. My Dad remembers getting the polio vaccine, no shot…just a drop of liquid on a sugar cube. Speaking of measles…I’ve got to get my 2nd Shingles vaccine this month.
