What part of i'm at work can't you understand, i only have time to post terrible comments

Haven't seen any media on this but found it interesting that Shimano also released a battery-less self shifting electronic derailleur for commuting under the cues umbrella. https://bike.shimano.com/en-AU/technologies/details/qauto.html

Why? It's a $14,000 Yeti e-bike, if $220 for bearings is an issue then its not the bike for you to begin with. There's also bikes out there with half as many bearings that cost even more for a kit because of the stupid sizes they use. It's crazy how people will complain about those kinds of costs but will happily destroy the XX1 groupset in 500k because they cheaped out on chain lube.....

What do you expect us to do? Lube our $100 chain like some sort of poor person?

It’s easy to work on, throw away the old link, install the new one, be $300 poorer.

I annoyingly just thought of a better meme:

Cornelius doing Cornelius things... : https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/intend-introduces-one-piece…

Crestline went DJI. Wasn't on my 2025 E-bike Bingo card That's a full power, 800wh battery bike. Jeebus!

Psshh they can try to take our name but they can't match our banter. Or the fact that we fought in the trenches and lived that B-level racer life.

That's the real kicker. The situation was bad enough as is. But being, essentially, right after a junior being DQd for being seconds? late... A minute? How late was he... How can you be so inconsistent? Also, dunno if people already talked about it but Gracey's run needs to be remembered as one of the greatest come back runs in womens DH history. She was DEAD LAST at split 1. By the finish line, she was over 3 up. She gained OVER SIX SECONDS, in all the hardest parts of the track. Against an in-form Vali Holl (who was P1...

Not to get too far into the weeds on it but he should've been a DNS right? I thought once the countdown begins riders only have a certain amount of time to exit the start hut, I guess since he tripped the wand maybe it negates that. I have to agree though, once the wand is tripped its go time.

If you’re gonna adamantly kick the very very first rider for being a minute late, you’d better not tell a guy he can start twice. It’s okay to not know what you’re doing, but you have to own it. Someone deserves an apology but I have no faith anyone will cop to screwing up. I could not believe the starting wand being a story again. Ridiculous. you come in spouting about how pro you’re gonna make it yet you have nothing to say about badgebros on track, ambiguous course markings, and how starting works? Maaaaaaaaaate

Awesome to see Gracey get her first win, well deserved. Good couple weeks for Canadians and the Squamish kids. Jackson today, Elly Hoskin with the EDR W and Ella MacPhee winning the U23 XCO last week - all went to the same high school.

As far as I can tell, technical assistance is not even addressed for DHI in the current UCI rulebook. Downhill starts on page 26. XC with the tech zone, and Enduro with the requirement to use the same frame, fork, wheels/5 min penalty to replace them. There is actually nothing about mechanicals or any kind of tech assistance during a DHI event probably because it makes no sense, you're going to lose anyway. They may want to add it now. https://www.uci.org/regulations/3MyLDDrwJCJJ0BGGOFzOat#part-iv-mountain… chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://assets.ctfassets.net/761l7gh5x5an/6qYIYIddcAPjN248n7tVDI/3a4ef7…

I saw it go down. I was wondering if there were some insights about why it happened.

Glad they are showing 30 seconds of the bike and start gate and zero seconds of the run halfway through the women’s.

And for this reason why Troy often runs a 220mm rotor in the rear but a normal 200mm up front. Rear brake is consistently "on" far more than the front.

Saddle activated brake... If you sit down, you slow down...

what's on henry kerr's gamux (from Q2 loudenvielle after he crashed...thankfully he's ok b/c w/ his OTB crash, it'd be easy to say "ejector seat?" external resevoir for rear brake? ABS type thing?

I don't get it, people usually want to see shimano content.
