Just leaving this one here for you guys Edit 23.12.2024 - I do not allow Pinkbike or any other outlet to use this picture. Vital Team Rumors exclusive!

Looks like Reece Wilson could be on a commencal. If his Instagram isn't just trolling.

Also don't forget to mention I'm openly promoting diabetes. 😁

Better get the pitchforks out lads the ride vest is made in China

You can rip on their English translation skills all you want, but I'll wager it's a helluvalot better than your Mandarin. Their derailleur architecture looks more aligned to Sunrace's RDM series, just with a battery pack and servo rather than a pulley and housing stop.

It's only knockoff if it comes from China. Otherwise its just sparkling IP theft.

Knockoff how exactly? Because it has 2 chain pulley wheels? Because it has a lower cage that extends and takes up chain slack and is spring loaded and clutch damped? Because it makes the chain go up and down the cassette? Because it attaches to a rear derailleur hanger? This has to be one of the weakest "It's just a cheap Chinese knockoff" accusations I have ever seen. About the only thing it shares with SRAM is it's wireless, and so when Shimano finally steps up to the plate in 2025 with their true 100% wireless rear derailleur, I guess...

Top comment from the other site pretty well sums up my thoughts on everything (exclusive of the last sentence, I’ll probably still watch because I’m an absolute mug)… ‘WBD keeps saying these changes are good for the sport, but I’ve never been less excited for a new season of World Cup. I have no plans to watch.’

Smoke and a pancake?

Hm. Has me thinking. Now this is some mouth breathing type of tin foil but I wonder if Trek is trying to do steel manufacturing to not be so indebted with Giant? All for it. Now if other companies could move to steel Id be happy because the weight savings between carbon and steel compared to value is pretty shit if you ask me. May as well just go to a greener material.

I'm ready to be downvoted, but here's a hot take - I think most of the $1500+ steel HT frames from "boutique" builders are marketing BS. Titanium is hard to weld correctly, so I'll cut some slack for TI stuff. Al needs to be heat treated. But steel? Your local car shop/welder can penetrate weld. No amount of "custom geo" "bespoke" "compliance" "insert new hot word here" is going to make some welded steel tubes that was aligned on a jig be worth that amount of money. Reynold steel tubes cost 30-40 for a downtube/toptube section.Full suspension alignment is a...

Coming from the same town that gave us this

Dude, don't give them any new ideas.😁 P.S.

you ppl can‘t even say porsche correctly

I can see Sam Hill pulling out closer to the event. Red Bull should have given his spot to someone more committed like Adam Brayton.
