haha you are right and I am sorry, I didn't mean to derail the thread so much. All I really wanted to do was defend Enduro as I agree with a lot that has been said above, it's mainly a perception issue, so I am trying to shift perception and bring some positivity into the discipline. That was the reason for the Jack/Sram comment and trying to make it less about Sram pulling Enduro funding, and also the Chris Ball comment, which did not go over well, but that one I'll accept and I will keep trying with him. I'll...

Report back when you've run them for a while, super interested to know your feelings. As a spoiler I've tested Maxxis vs Schwalbe radial, and Maxxis DH vs DD. Very intriguing results, just need to get the video made...

Check your messages. Happy to answer any questions.

Did you get those launch coordinates from a group chat you were recently added to?

Technically I don't get paid by SRAM either. They support the Canyon factory team that I am a part of, who pays me. That isn't to say they don't support me, but I don't have a contract with them. Factory teams are generally bolstered by sponsorship deals to increase the budget they have. YT went the route of 'uncaged' which meant they were fitting the whole bill and allowing their riders to run whatever they wanted, not taking any sponsorship money so the riders weren't forced into anything.

If I can add my 2 cents here. I don't think Sram paid Jack, or the team, anything. That whole YT deal is that they run whatever they want because they don't take money from any sponsors. Now I think that was changing because the industry is struggling and they probably saw how much money they were losing out on. My best guess is YT asked Sram to pay to support the team and they said no, so YT doubled down on the TRP/Fox association they had already been building. Vali would be the only one I could see saying...

I want to know what this is for and why I didn't think of it.

Indeed, there's no magic solution for the heat, protection always comes at a cost. Thanks for your feedback!

The POC is also on my final shortlist, the back protection looks great (large and very breathable), and I love the minimal style. But the chest part seems very opaque, not very breathable, which might be an issue for me with the hot weather in Catalonia.

He must be training with power. Looks like the Power2max NGEco MTB.
