12/11/2024 10:17am I'm sure it's sizeable to protect Neko's investment. That's how sports teams in lower leagues earn money, selling talents to bigger, wealthier teams.

12/10/2024 2:46pm Not sure about the current state, but apparently the middrives from Bosch, Brose and SL units from Specialized were all based on automotive BLDC motors with some adaptations. I think it was a case of an electric water pump, an electric power steering motor and the like being reused. This was done to reuse the stamping tools for the stator and rotor as in the beginning the investment didn't make as much sense or the reuse was a more cost optimal option. Not sure what the state is like today, but it's possible they went to more custom built motors...

12/10/2024 8:23am I do remember that last year someone mentioned he'd only really gotten a bike deal from Forbidden and maybe it was just for a year to see how things were going to shake out on both sides. With all the changes coming up, maybe the Synthesis team is no more and haven't announced it yet. Maybe he'll be riding a re-branded Gasgas reg bike for Crankworx and redbull events and their E-bikes day to day? He'd be good pull for them. If Hyper can field athletes on one off bikes for what? 12-15 years now since they snagged Eric Carter...

12/10/2024 7:53am Seems surprising given that GasGas' parent company is undergoing self administered bankruptcy. Can't be too much budget for them or Husqvarna in the cycling world.

12/10/2024 8:24am What's Brook going to help them do? Give away two Gasgas e-bikes with moto purchase? Obviously we want Brook to get his bag but it is a bit strange. Edit: On the other hand, I've seen a bunch of Gasgas ebikes in the wild but never under anyone who looks like they've ridden mountain bikes for more than a week...

12/9/2024 8:27am I was going to private message you but you have it turned off. I don’t disagree wcs needed their fields cut down for logistical reasons. I do disagree greatly with how the eso is doing it. And disagree greatly that their goals align in reality with riders best interests. But hey if a company that’s nearly 50 billion in debt and a race director who effectively destroyed the majority of professional opportunities in the race series that made him famous doesn’t deserve criticism and caution well I simply don’t know who does. Thanks for correcting me on the origins of...

12/9/2024 8:27am That story of how the team got started is what made the sport awesome. Sadly no longer possible under this new structure you keep defending.

12/9/2024 8:26am Calling commencal a family team is like calling Koch industries a family business. And that’s not a rip on max commencal. He is good for the sport. But you wouldn’t call specialized a family team if it was sinyard bikes. You wouldn’t call Santa Cruz a family team when roskopp was coming to the races. Isn’t the rumor that atherton is leaving the wc scene? To me that essentially leaves frameworks. Which is a bit hard to believe will continues after next season though I hope neko and Logan are able to make it happen. Seems pretty insane that a...

12/8/2024 8:24pm I have created a spreadsheet with rumors on it in an attempt to calculate the points that each team will have going into 2025 and which teams will be world series teams (since this year the rankings are based on rider points). I do not have better info than anyone else, I am simply reading the forums. Much of the info is out of date and incomplete so if anyone would like, feel free to edit to make this more complete and accurate. There are two tabs, where the second one shows the ranking. Read the red notes for info...

12/6/2024 12:33pm The length of exposed post isn't really indicative of anything on pros bikes compared to us mortals, I wouldn't read into it. We seem to enjoy having a slammed post and as much drop as possible but look at dudes like Minnaar who despite being decidedly XL+ seems perfectly happy running dropper posts in the range of 150mm or so...
