It's nice to be able to move things around if you break something.... I only have as many wheelsets as I have bikes and when I break a wheel it's nice to still have a choice of what bike to ride, even if the wheels mismatch. Per your Betamax point: with the privilege of hindsight, it's pretty easy to see that we were just fine without Betamax, even if it was a marginally better product. Technology still progressed and we didn't all throw away our new VHS tapes and players right after buying them. I'd be happy if 157 went...

Not the new bike we’re waiting for but still pretty good news in times where the little guys are closing up shop.

Trunnion shocks, that shit can get in the bin. Would also like to see more frames with spherical mounted shocks, more so in the long travel enduro/DH area.

I only listened to a fifth of this and I feel the need to write a shout-out of respect towards Aaron Gwin for supporting Dak. Hats off! Mx

I sound like a broken record, but I spend a majority of weekends in late winter through to early summer wrenching for a local U23 and NICA national level race team. I took it upon myself to try and rustle up some sponsors for the team this season, and granted we’re pretty small potatoes in the grand scheme of things, but my initial idea was to approach only outside the industry, or industry adjacent companies under the assumption they likely have more promotional budget to toss around some product, as I wasn’t even asking about financial support. Unfortunately, I was...

The liv golf thing was/is a wild story and maybe relevant but for a different reason? Basically the PGA held a monopoly on players & tournaments which made it tough for new players to own their image, media and where they could play. LIV stepped in to give players more freedom and control over their careers which really shook up the industry. They are definitely not saints but it exposed the PGA and its practises and forced some massive shake ups (including an eventual merger which stitched up the guys who rejected big offers to go to LIV). Point is...

Peaty did that video riding a current V10 and a 2007 V10 and was 6 seconds slower at Pleney on a 3ish minute track? Obviously hes not elite top 30 fit anymore, but it gives an indication that its less than what you'd think.

Well, I struggled to keep up with Justin Leov the one time I rode with him. He was on an old flogged-out XC bike. With a fork that wasn't working properly. And plastic soled XC shoes with the wrong cleats for his pedals so he couldn't actually clip in. That told me all I need to know.

I’d agree- dyno doesn’t always tell the full story. It’s an extremely useful tool but you must do blind ride testing as well. MTB suspension testing is incredibly difficult and frustrating from my experience.

Just to comment on the adjustment needing a 12mm. If you get an EXT shock in the US coming from Suspension Syndicate, the US EXT distributor and service center. The shock is provided with a small composite 3d printed tool that has a 12mm wrench and 4mm Allen key. Tool is tiny and weighs almost nothing, so no worries bringing it with even in a pocket.

I don't know anything about BK's background, but the guy does 3 jobs. Team owner, team manager, and pro rider (top 5 in the world). He deserves to reap the rewards because that requires a serious amount of hard work and dedication, and of course talent. Not to mention his sideline projects such as the clothing brand. Plus the guy is super likeable, clearly loves riding, and is refreshingly open and honest in interviews. It would be awesome to see him standing on top of that podium in 2024.

Angel was at Rock Creek two weeks ago picking up his bike. It’s all but confirmed in a press release at this point.
