A bit of self promotion here... but here is a downhill bike I've been developing for those interested!

I've got a real rumor, Kasper Woolley is running a non standard Suntour Voro Coil on his zerode. Noticed while scrolling through my photos from the open this weekend. Lots of fast people running the Suntour stuff.

First glimpse of Dan Booker testing a drop under the watchful eyes of Finn Iles. Looks epic (and scary)!

SRAM owes me royalties. I called it in June of last year.

Thanks for the reminder to go back and watch this great vid on the SC Enduro Team in Chile and Colombia.

Sad it’s finally dead, stoked for the future. I don’t think enduro as a format is dead, but it needs to go back to people having adventures in cool places.

Quick update from Bruni (first vid in French, swipe to second vid for English). It's looking unlikely that he'll be back for Les Gets or Worlds as his wrist injury is taking as long as predicted, but not any faster, to recover. Tough year for Super Bruni!

just saw this in mojo suspension story. Looks like some kind of dual spring setup for fine tuning/recreating individual dual rate spring curve. I think Dave Garland did something like this for the boxxer quite some years ago.

You guys....sigh.

I swear this is SRAM propaganda: "It just doesn't make sense to add a more complex, harder-to-maintain, more expensive option that's locked to your frame and that no one has parts for." More complex to maintain? The Pinion service interval is 6,200 miles — people race entire seasons without touching their gearbox. Meanwhile derailleur drivetrains need constant adjustment and eat consumables, especially on ebikes. Gearboxes will take over ebikes within a few years — the motor negates the efficiency loss, the weight is low and centered, and ebike torque destroys conventional drivetrains anyway. DH won't be far behind (less unsprung...
