From PB. A user did a breakdown of Asa and Amaury's runs. https://ridetop.app/compare_vs/?ids=783462032,856918772 Really cool to see how the two compare. Also as the old saying goes, jumps for show corners for dough. Asa pulls back more then a seconds time by just absolutely greasing two corners.

Not technically a mountain bike tech rumor, but it's very funny to listen to gravel riders insist they aren't just reinventing 1990s mountain bikes and then see product releases like this... https://www.bikeradar.com/news/rockshoxs-rudy-xl-gravel-fork 60mm of travel and clearance for 2.25" tires. This thing would have crushed the NORBA XC circuit. All it's missing is some stanchion boots.

This is the funny thing about whiteface. It is owned and run by the state, so its simplify the state choosing to ignore another part of the state. It won't get canceled. Some people will be angry, maybe a lawsuit will get filed. The stuff on the open ski runs will get pushed flat again so they can groom and they will argue about it again next year.

That there is a rumor!

I look forward to them explaining that some athlete was robbed because they trained the AI judges using Brendan’s Rampage runs. 🤣

If you’re not getting paid by your employer (allegedly), then that’s also a breach of contract on their side…

Is it really a surprise that a top level rider like Vali could find something that quickly? There were probably several team managers trying to figure out how to sign her..

From the boys at OTB podcast - Vali might turn up at North American races on a Commencal. Sounds like she may have already signed to Commencal Les Orres. Makes a ton of sense given Cecile & SRAM connections as well.

Fox mentioned something similar on their earnings call - new releases (ie. Podium, reworked X2 shocks, etc) are driving sales right now. I suspect that's why we're seeing so many limited edition products coming out from lots of brands. Easy way to release something "new" without doing much.

That's going to be rough for all the other companies that rely on Giant for manufacturing.

I'm going to send my new bike tech to the shop and tell him to get me helmet bearings to see how he reacts.
