All

I mentioned this a while back, page 40 maybe, and my comment was missed / ignored by most. Which was fair enough as it was simply based on Brook liking a bunch of their instagram posts. Even I thought that was a bit tenuous. So I'll be a little surprised if he signs with Forbidden, but maybe a little less than others. IF he signs with them - but him and Fearon would make a very cool DH team.

is everyone gonna be surprised if/when macdonald signs with Forbidden?

Jon Mozell off forbidden synthesis, got something sorted for this season though

More news involving Specialized today, they've picked up the Godziek brothers:

Yes thats right. On the Instagram Post there is specialized listed for e-bikes and dirt jump bikes.

hey all, please discuss site issues here so they can be seen - https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/about-vital-mtb-support/vital-mtb-site-… - no need to fill up tech or team rumors threads. thanks for looking out with it, too!!!

Just announce the team at once, not this long drawn out process over a week with one rider at a time.

That used to be the case. Sam Hill on helmets and goggles, Jack Moir on helmets, goggles and protection. And also for moto, Pro Circuit on Bell helmets and Fox gear

Factory team is Pinkerton, Norton, Dunne. Only question left is whether Farina sticks with MS or moves to Mondraker factory team??

As far as I understand.... The deal between One-Up started way back when One-Up was looking into creating a dropper based on what they felt mattered most. They reached out to Trans-X and Trans-X agreed to help manufacturer the posts for them and there was a deal worked out where One-Up gets to release and use for a single year before trans-X can step in and make their branded one and sell for less. This kinda reminds of the deal between Toyota and Subaru with the BRZ

I have an OEM Trans-X that just works. Nothing amazing. Nothing depressing.

Hint of belt drive in that ‘chain’ ring
