Regarding “tHe oTheR sITe,” I think we all know why we are over here. I mean, I still have this URL bookmarked “Littermag.” 🤣

p-tucky (eric porter) off diamondback after 15 years.

lawlor reporting it's greasy due to rain and a lot of riders not going on track today. FYI, no raw today. only the one from yesterday, but The Weekend follows Gwin, Coulanges and Antoine Pierron, so should be a good one!

From the second hand stories Ive heard they were also one of the major catalysts of the arms race for supplier capacity and over forecasting during the first signs of the covid boom. Bob M went to TW and doubled, then quadrupled forecasts to win priority over other bike brands. Other big brands had no choice but to fall in line if they wanted deliveries in any reasonable amount of time....so most of them increased by similarly staggering numbers. Delivery lead times of multiple years after that were the result. Some of the quotes in this article about that did...

Shout out to Fabien Cousine, Ben Walker (New World Disorder fame) aka @buckoW & all the track builders there & the Morgins tracks. Never forget the walking digger & what these folks REALLY accomplished in that region!!!

CAN WE PLEASE STOP WITH THE RELATIONSHIP STUFF? this is a dead horse that is now pulp. (not saying i agree with it). PLEASE KEEP IT OUT OF TEAM RUMORS AT THIS POINT Go make another thread if this is that big of a deal for you guys

YT has been about margins since day 1. 2015 baller carbon capra, $5500 https://www.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/Bikes,3/YT/Capra-Pro,14533 2015 baller sworks stumpy, $9300 https://www.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/Bikes,3/Specialized/S-Works-Endu… this isn't perfect apples-to-apples spec, but you get the idea. IIRC, back then it was the only way to get people to consider DTC in the first place.

i feel bad cuz she seemed happier on YT... she's probly looking at switching teams next season and has reduced leverage on 'price' being that she 'needs a team more than any team outright needs her'. Aaron Gwin looking over at her struggling with YT like... First time?

Some food for thought… let’s assume each leg is a cylindrical joint where it can slide linearly and rotate around the axis of said cylinder. A cylindrical joint on its own is equivalent to four points of contact. Six points of contact fully define the position of something in space. Two cylindrical joints is eight points of contact. Both right side up and upside down forks are technically over constrained and rely on flex and/or bushing clearance to move smoothly. In the world of aligning linear rails with bearing cars, you pretty much always have to float in at least...

Nah, I am good. These work better.

Looks good to me

I think it should be time to gatekeep. I've already been calling out creators using AI, I wouldn't be opposed to calling out people who take free stuff from Lewis.

team rumors.

just got pit bits in from rick. transmission DH derailleur and cassette, and more new demo pics below.

Am I the only one that thinks Troy taking the win this weekend would be awesome?
