I'm not sure he does get ignored unless there is a result. This is all feeling and I haven't gone back to check but it felt like for the first part of last year he was ignored, not on Wyn TV , not mentioned on post race podcasts , not on photo reports . Then this year it seemed it was easier for everyone to just not mention it and slowly bring him back into the fold in terms of coverage . And yeah I get that if he gets a top 5 they can't really ignore him but it...

Not sure if there ever was an investigation in his case. If so they never made a statement on it. Always a tough arena as it’s very hard to prove and usually a traumatic process for the victim. But if it was ignored all together that would be quite the scandal. He got dropped by two teams. Commencal and cllctv. Seemed like canyon signed him unaware or ignoring any rumors then when they dropped him is when the rumors went came to light for the greater public. I know nothing more than anyone else and a lot less than plenty...

8/11/2025 4:16pm I wonder how mountain bike media will treat this once the suspension is up. Maybe the Daprela treatment where he generally gets ignored unless he gets a result, in which case everyone pretends nothing happened

8/8/2025 9:55am It’s time people accept that we ask 140mm frames to ride the same trails and features that used to be exclusive to downhill bikes. The big difference is the trail bike has to do it with a dropper post and 12 speed cassette

8/7/2025 9:56am This is a good glimpse into the future of the internet. If a company embraces AI in pretty much any capacity I’ll have no choice but to assume it’s a scam like this one because soon it’ll be too difficult to discern the bad actors from the good ones to even bother

Isn’t that just an Azonic Headlok?

Looks a lot like the Azonic Headlock, a headset preloading product from 20+ years ago.

8/6/2025 9:23am I guess the idea is that their little rod has less elasticity than a steerer, but I don’t think a steerer meaningfully stretches in a way that contributes to flex. Idk, we’re clearly already putting more thought into this than they are. Go buy a stiffmaster https://www.intend-bc.com/products/stiffmaster/?v=0b3b97fa6688

8/6/2025 9:18am It fits in the headtube of your fork, so it increases the stiffness 🙏

I heavily considered: Orbea “downgraded” the Occam to include internal cable routing.

8/4/2025 5:01pm This is so funny to read if you haven’t been paying attention to headset routing the last couple years. Imagine reading “Ford updated the F150 to include power windows”

7/31/2025 1:48pm I think a shorter offset lets you corner more aggressively. You reduce the shopping cart effect so when you lean over on your side knobs the front wheel is less likely to tuck. At least that’s what I noticed going from 51 to 44 back in the day

7/31/2025 1:31pm My 37mm offset aspirations are in direct conflict with my Fox podium aspirations 
You’re right though, a 37mm offset 38 or zeb would be pretty easy to build
