1/24/2024 6:29am re: outside industry sponsors for American(and global) MTB racing. Yes, 2008 was the final year of Trek/VW because 2007 was fhe final year of USAC’s National Mountain Bike Series(NMBS) and the contract was obviously not renewed, since there was literally nothing left worth attending. The NMBS was the creaky, sad skeleton of the NORBA national series- which at that point...

1/11/2024 5:04pm Listen kids. There is a Tomac named John, and a whole ‘nother Lawrence family that involves riding with and wrenching for some fella’s named Palmer and McGrath, and lots of love for 20” wheels and loose-over hardpack. REMEMBER the roots of mtb dh are actually in road bikes, bmx and winter sports. Moto is just how badass people from the...

12/31/2023 7:02am 7 stops, all with XC, DH, DS, Observed Trials and eventually short track XC replaced trials. Until 1998 we also crowned our National Series Champions as our National Champions. Going to a single day national championship really killed the vibe. NORBA existed as it’s own entity until 1995 when it was merged with the pro and amateur road racing governing...

12/29/2023 10:47am Kerry works for Bikeflights now. After Kona fired all the riders and team managers in June Bikeflights was nice enough to give Kerry a wrapped sprinter. They want him to actually enjoy bike racing in 2024, and they will be covering all his domestic travel and racing(he just has to be the face of Bikeflights and the events he heads...

12/29/2023 9:02am Kerry lives across the creek from me when I am in Virginia. He has been miserable the last two years being forced by Kona to race gravel to save his job… Remember Kona hasn’t made a CX bike since 2019!

At least in the US, the rise and fall of Lance Armstrong took a lot of outside funding from MTB into road, and then out of all cycling disciplines together when he was caught for being who he is.

12/26/2023 7:39am If we are going to insert a discussion about Holy Week CX- i’mma digress just a little bit to give people some more background on how American and Canadian athletes, teams and federations deal with the CX world cup and the other two major televised euro CX series’s; 1. Up until Flander Classics organization (the company that owns and produces...

12/19/2023 6:41am One of the bike brands i work with sublets fit studio space to a well known PT/bike fitter in Boston. She is very seriously thinking about “shutting down the studio” because the ubiquity of one piece bar-stems with internal cable routing and proprietary seatposts in the modern drop bar market make bike fit a very, very, expensive and time consuming...

12/17/2023 6:26am Last year’s series plus Big Bear sometime is the scuttlebut in the shuttle line. It would be great if they actually kept points for juniors and Cat 2/3’s this year, imo!

12/15/2023 8:53am They dont make sense at all for enduro and trail bikes, but the ones that have 20+ degrees of drop are definitely a worthwhile product for XCO and XCC where it’s important to replicate the contact points from your road bike position. Syntace Flatforce is the only low stack height aesthetically appealing “mass production” mega drop metal stem I am...

Yes, Bryn only rides OG High Rollers...from a particular batch produced in 2016, aged in a temperature and humidity controlled cellar, and pre-conditioned with extra virgin olive oil prior to riding.

12/2/2023 4:46am Perspective: Just because the UCI holds a world championship for a discipline doesn’t mean it is strong or globally recognized- 4x and XC Eliminator still award rainbow jerseys, and they are about as niche as artistic cycling or cycleball. The major bike brands used to sponsor 4x(when it was a staple of the gravity world cup) and XCE(when it was...
