1/31/2022 2:44am if you have to compress the spring to fit the spacer then no, you don't need it. If you are compressing the spring you increase the spring rate. Coils should only be preloaded enough to stop the spring moving around

1/28/2022 2:33am I thought spesh off fox has been known for a long time. Didn't Bruni already announce this? I guess they will be running spesh kit this year? Does that mean a new DH helmet from them?

1/28/2022 12:40am Isn't Trek Factory Racing running title bars and stem? pretty sure Loris was anyway

1/28/2022 12:36am reduced kickback, less chain growth so the drivetrain has little effect on the suspension

1/27/2022 6:44am FMD is the Seagrave's team (run by Tahnee's dad I'm pretty sure), nothing to do with Canyon, they are just the title sponsor. Previously FMD Racing have been on Transition and Intense frames

1/26/2022 3:29am I'm now 100% sure it's a session. Check out the other photo of the cut out in the chainstay on the non-drive side

1/21/2022 1:19am You could use the same argument saying everyone should run the same suspension, good suspension and bad suspension also makes a huge difference, the same with brakes. I'd say while tyres are easily the most important, suspension and brakes come 2nd to that. Maxxis and Schwalbe certainly seem to be the best in terms of tread pattern, compound and construction...

1/17/2022 2:21am Another Reece Wilson one, but Val Di Sol World Champs 2021, blew the front tyre up on the last corner and was up by a bit if I remember right. If he hadn't had flatted I think he would have beaten Minnar's time. Although have to agree the best what could have been run was Sam Hill VDS 2008, literally...

Its gotta be Sam at Val di sole. I remember watching it live at the shop I worked at in college, my jaw was on the floor when he washed out. A close second is Ratboy at World Champs in Hafjell. 40 foot jump to flat, breaks ankle, can't pedal, coasts to the finish line, misses out on being World Champ by 0.4 seconds.

1/13/2022 3:21am Still no 29" fork from SR Suntour? Surely it doesn't take that long to cast and test some new lowers?

1/13/2022 12:49am It's got to be Luca, where else would he end up? Excited for the first round now, I think Laurie is going to slay on SCS and will be good to se Luca come out of Greg's shadow, I think him a Brosnan will be a sweet team

1/7/2022 1:00am Unfortunately I think a lot of companies see more value in riders posting Instagram reels and posts than longer videos on YouTube that a lot of people won't watch. Think of the time it would take to record and produce a 15 minute Youtube video vs just chucking up a raw 30 sec clip on Insta, that more people will...

1/6/2022 5:40am If you are only focussed on efficiency then yes, perhaps this design will be efficient for pedalling, but it wont absorb bumps at all, and the reach is going to be constantly changing as the BB moves rearward through the travel. Maybe would be OK for an XC bike but nothing more. Also strange that they essentially admit that the...

1/5/2022 5:38am That's Charlie Hatton. Looks like Laurie is just saying he is still on Fox and RedBull. Laurie and Charlie lives pretty close so probably not unusual for them to ride together?

1/4/2022 2:06am Oh, did look like the reach adjusting headset on the GGs, and the flat top tube did look like it. we're passed new year now, where are the confirmations, is it because the Americans are still asleep?

1/3/2022 1:49pm Matt Stuttard onto Guerilla Gravity by the looks of his latest insta post, looks like a GG top tube

1/3/2022 9:17am Nukeproof Mega? Downtube looks similar with the flat part near the BB and perhaps the caption is a hint
