1/10/2025 10:08am I've always got mine, and many of the people I'm linked up with that are doing this, have contacted manufacturers directly rather than through aliexpress/alibaba. I'm curious what platform you're on and of your experiences but I don't wanna clog this thread with something unrelated. Shoot me a PM!

it's definitely an interesting case study to compare with some of the racers situations.

1/10/2025 9:11am With Mr. Metallier you have to think it's related to the brands not having money for it anymore rather than not wanting to continue the relationship. No idea what he's like to deal with B2B behind the scenes but as far as clicks/exposure/talking up your brand directly to an audience, he's gotta be one of the best, guy's a pro...

I believe you (of course) but can barely believe any brand would pay someone to race Enduro. Zero coverage and no return for the brands. It’s not worth it to pay those guys to fly around the world and for hotels. Sorry not sorry.

1/10/2025 9:08am I'm not convinced SC is doing this - if you've held any of the SC copy frames in your hands, it's clear they aren't coming out of SC molds (and I've held more DTC chinese frames in my hands than most, as it would happen, including 3 of the SC copy frames for various reasons). The frame shapes are different...

half baked comment. obviously luck can be a major factor in downhill racing. but he also was seemingly the most prepared for that race on that day. winning doesn't happen by accident, even on a track you know well in conditions you excel in.

I wonder if the Pivot crew could swap to a belt from the cranks to the upper drive cogs and still qualify? BK, if you see this and try it, I want a signed photo from Lada.

Just a minute… would that mean, if they used your described configuration, AND won an elite WC, that Gates would give them… TWO hundred thousand dollars?!?

1/9/2025 8:44am Eh, Fox factory 36 29s with Grip 2 for 2022 were on there from a specialized reseller for $250 a pop yesterday. They clearly had taken a bunch of OEM take offs off specialized hands and they had hundreds of them. Obviously with EVIL there's other stuff at play here but plenty of companies are just realizing they need to...

I remember being told when the Druid V2 came out that Forbidden is already using this standard and that looks to be accurate.

is swapping the postmount adapter when you size up a disc so much hassle? this seems even more complicated as you need to remove the rear wheel just to swap out the ubh. what am i missing here?

Why do people paint a beautiful bike and then make it as difficult as possible to see what's going on with it? Earlier this week we had a guy throw 1000 coloured balls in front of his painted frame and now this photo session looks like it was taken in an abandoned warehouse at night.

Remi on spesh. Ok - but no chance they’re paying him to travel around the world to get 30th on a circuit with zero coverage. I’m not being mean here - just truth. Same with Blenki - guy was cooked (results -wise) 3-4 years ago. There’s zero chance anyone picks him up to race wc dh. On a similar note, Lucas Cruz - has he ever had a result? And Norco is taking him to all the WCs? Again, not being mean - just facts. I think he has a family connection at Norco but there’s no way anyone’s expecting...

Given that it was probably SRAM's lawyers that were responsible for 5dev discontinuing the udh mod kit, ordering the biggie kit sooner rather than later is probably a good plan if you think you might want one.
