Very happy for Kolb. The Mob riders deserve nice stable teams.

He kept rocking the YT kit to the bitter end. I’m cool with it but also liked Oisin’s quasi protest and buying/wearing his own gear.

Dak's 4th today certainly helps his cause for next season...

More like Cannondale engineer.

I like Santa Cruz but their crustacean justification is boiled, bruh

And most importantly, the front didn't fall off.

As soon as I saw the lawsuit and read through the details, i was ready to quit Strava. Garmin gives me more information for free from just buying the device, where Strava has shut down services over the years, including using Bluetooth sensors back in the day. Other than the social side of it, Strava is useless if you already have any devices app, such as Garmin connect. Maybe they're trying to hurt Garmin and release their own devices for the run up to an IPO, which is likely too late in the game unless they are absolutely game changing...

Love that Forbiddens latest email pays true homage to the Crab link: "Still wondering what the f**** we’re on about with all the crab stuff? A theory exists called Carcinisation wherein all non-crab crustaceans evolve a crab-like body plan. A very clever Vital MTB user noticed how many mountain bikes brands had evolved towards the same form and linkage lay out. He declared that this new evolution of bike layouts be named the crab link. And many pages of crab jokes followed. It’s an obscure and very inside joke. But hey, now you’re in on it too." Trend setters we...

CSS Composites is done: https://escapecollective.com/us-thermoplastic-carbon-manufacturer-css-c… They are the guys who made the thermoplastic carbon wheels for Revel, Chris King, etc, as well as under their own name Forge + Bond.

I'm not keeping a spreadsheet or anything but I think I've seen about 4 or 5 now.

Nina Hoffmann was seen at dinner with the Specialized team in their hotel in Lenzerheide… maybe it was just Jordan Williams?

How does everyone want to celebrate once we hit 1000 pages on the thread? I was thinking maybe we could all go to Chilis and share a Triple Dipper. lmk.

This is a message board where Pinkbike sources their news

I wonder how many people freaked out when Kaz said something to the effect of, "It's funny when people in the chat refer to Vital as the other site.. Like you can't say their name here.. We don't care if you visit more than one site. In fact, you should. Get another opinion before spending your money..." This was on the podcast within the last few weeks.

Am I crazy or has The Syndicate done the half/half bikes in the past?

Having only recently ridden a coil shock I’ve come to appreciate just how effective a good bottom out bumper can be.

Lol, people buying a $20,000 S-works (the most expensive mainstream bicycle on the market) are not worried about 'shady' markup behavior. A $150k Mercedees isn't anywhere near 6x the cost to manufacture than a Ford Focus. A ton more margin in higher-end products. And people who are buying those products know it.

Specialized has had more chatter in not releasing new Enduro and DH than they would have had in releasing them. Keep delaying them it keeps the chatter speculation going.
