Maxipedia Added a reply to 2027 Team Rumors
11/2/2026 5:41am I believe they don't need to sell in other places, as they have a steady and strong footprint in a pretty safe market. Why bother? And I love Charlie, but maybe options were slim. What PON did with GT and now Cannondale pisses me off immensely. By the way, Thömus, do you guy remember when they were some of the...

10/28/2026 3:21am I have TLD pants since the mid 2000's and like the brand a lot. However, durability isn't everything, as the rubber pieces on, say, the iconic GP's that Sam Hill was wearing anno '08 aren't as comfy by today's standards and they lack pockets. My go-to pant in the last 2 years were TLD Skylines and I also like the...

I’ve seen the new e-bike. Avinox M2S motor and 700wh battery. Similar layout, suspension wise, to the current Altitude Powerplay and uses a flex stay. I was told it was 150mm rear, 160mm front travel. Should be out late this year, very early next.

The spots in Romania and Bulgaria sound very cool not even on my radar. I went into a good rabbit hole on both and they sound very nice. This is the reason I started this thread to hear about places like this. Thank you for all your responses.

10/23/2026 5:54am I'm here in Brașov, Romania. Cost of living is obviously cheap, being the country we are, although some prices line up with the West, where the wages don't necessarily. But it is generally cheaper for most things. Mountain biking? How about FREE shuttle service on state-operated local buses, that take you up 12 km to our local resort? You just...

I know we normally say its the youngsters that got screwed by the pandemic But having won the 17, 18 and 19 EWS overalls to then have an abrupt halt to his international racing because of the strict travel restrictions of Australia which would have been the 20 and 21 seasons gone for him. Unlike the younger riders who I guess just sucked up the travel pain once and based themselves in europe, he I guess quite rightly didn't want to abandon his family for that length of time.

He got half the DH world, including a lot of WC athletes, to try out flats for 2-5 years until we all collectively realized we weren't Sam Hill. Bryn, Gwin, Blenki, Wyn, Leov, and more all raced in flats during that era. Every few years I put on flats again for a few months and feel like I'm sickest at cornering until I realize I'm still very much not Sam Hill and I'm scared and actually going slower through all the rough bits.

Id more point out that his trail building company is really gaining steam, quite a few new builds in WA so far (small market) but from a brand promotion perspective, he is on the tools building trails

They could have at least had the basic respect to respond to him.....Sam was most pissed about the fact he was completely ignored. Maybe we won't know which brands exactly they were, but I fully believe five ten wouldn't have the mtb market they do without Sam Hill - I'm not sure people these days realise how massive his influence was in making huge numbers of people change to flat pedals 20 years ago....

He says in the interview that he disappeared for a few years because he felt stung by the industry. He's back riding now and seems to be enjoying himself.

yeah he is Mr Flat Pedals, at least from a racing rather than free ride/trick perspective, there's nobody else you'd want more as a brand ambassador surely?
