Welp that solidifies that. Im completely turned away from Pivot. This screams Orange Bike manufacturing kind of problem right here.

Sadly I agree. I think just that Neko likes him, and sees potential, but fading to me. I cannot see a way forward for Pivot and therefore BK. I mean how can Pivot look at 25 and write a check for 26?

For my last couple of ebikes I immediately changed the drivetrain to Shimano 10 speed. We also have steep climbs, but I find that with Emtb I don't need quite as much range, current cassette is 48-11 and never felt like I'd need more gears. My latest drivetrain is Shimano Linkglide, they claim 3x durability and none of the parts are compatible with other shimano stuff, so I guess the thicker chain is already part of the equation.

Never said it wasn’t valid. Said take it to a different thread at this point. Just like CS length talk in tech rumors.

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

Firstly I'll say again I've got no real opinion, nor am I too bothered either way, just putting forward something as a possibility. I subscribe to the theory that the mind is like a parachute, it only really works when it's open. AFAIK Emelie Siegenthaler has been involved with the team throughout this saga. She missed out on a WC podium to Kate Weatherley some years ago and predictably the other site's comments exploded. She was very quick to call out people overstepping the mark. She defended Kate's right to race and acknowledged her result. I've never met her, but...

The other thing that occurs to me (and I have no doubt I'll be downvoted for this, but here goes nothing) is that people are all for equality and empowerment in the post covid world, so why is it seemingly beyond comprehension that it may have been Jenna that let BK know she was interested in him, as opposed to him 'grooming' her? I've got no meat in the game and don't care one way or another, but isn't it at least possibility? It may explain why her parents don't appear (on the face of it) to have a problem...

I hate to be even mentioning the subject again but could all the people making snide comments about a certain relationship stop and think about how the younger party feels about having her private life as a topic of conversation? Most of the people frowning on the relationship probably waffle on about mental health constantly while being oblivious to the effect their own comments have on people. I'm all for free speech but these professionals are entertaining us and putting their lives on the line for peanuts and some readers of these Mtb sites are talking trash about riders private...

What was the nail in the coffin for you? The Jenna thing? ply explain thx

Adam Brayton trolling Bernie is one of the greatest internet gags of all time. My personal favorite was the 'public bike park' series feat Roidy 🤣

Long ramble, sorry. Just offering a different perspective from this because my first reading of the podcast episode was completely different. I listened to the whole podcast. I think the answer BK gave seemed accurate and I didn't hear it as complaining (and he even said in the podcast that it's going to sound like sour grapes coming from him). Did you listen to the whole podcast? What was the question Elliot asked again: "How has Hardline changed?" He described a particular way it changed: It used to be everyone being cool and helping each other and racing in an...

I wouldn’t read into it much. Pivot/bernard have plenty of opportunity in plenty of spaces. Masters Walker Masters podium was one of the truly great enduro moments. Race winner. Fan favorite. Not many of those guys left in enduro.

probably more for "spec rumors" thread but S-Works Levo 4 LTD version is $19,999 - FOX Podium, Cane Creek Electric Wings Ti cranks, Trickstuff brakes. https://www.specialized.com/us/en/s-works-turbo-levo-4-ltd/p/4260592?co…

What's going on in the heads of spectators turning up with chainsaws AND ear defenders? I'll put you through this whether you like it or not, but I myself don't want to hear it? They were fun at first, but it's getting a bit old (or maybe it's just me getting a bit old). Lovely to hear a bit of The Prodigy, I kinda knew Liam and Keith back in my raving days and it brought back some great memories.

Ronan Dunne's winning run, what a thing of beauty! "C'mon c'mon, $#%^ing pedal!"

If it's any consolation for you tiz is working about as well as a russian invasion right now.
