Does AON have the budget for someone like Vali? That doesn't seem likely..

Sneaky name change caught me out...... Loved the pod cast.

I caught the podcast today and thought it was one of the best I've listened to in a while, very informative and I appreciated the discussion. I'm not in the bike industry but I am a bike geek who works with municipal governments on capital projects and I spend a lot of time analyzing how organizations make decisions and the parallels regardless of industry are undeniable. I am amazed that anything gets built and I'm always pretty sure shit is going to start to fail at any minute. 😅

Rumour has it that Ric and Josh might be pulling out all stops at MSA and saving their best commentary for last. Sounds like there is plan to use the words " Penultimate " and "Goolie" together in one sentence 327 times over the broadcast weekend . Lucky us🤣

Yeah that was my next thought. I guess all ideas start somewhere but I’m my opinion showing that off in public is a bad look. It would not be too difficult to use some pan head screws at the very least. Also, make it one piece and fold it over with a nice radius so it can’t slice your gooch wide open. Idk I’m just a dumb electrician but I feel like I could make a much nicer one with a beer box template some tin snips and the random hardware in my garage.

I worked on one a while ago..slightly different primary purpose, which was mostly about getting together with your mates and going for a ride, but recording was a natural part of it. An idea I really wanted to play with was identifying users' riding style (using super secret Duck's autism algorithms, obv) to find new people to ride with too, but then everyone got stoked on it calling it something like a Tinder for mountain bikers. Got it all working and all but then I had to talk to people and ask them to use it(or tell me why they...

I like "emotional support vehicle". Regular Car Reviews once referred to them as "men's rights trucks".

I’ve got to say this thing on Reese’s Gamux looks extremely terrible and a bit dangerous. The rest of the paddock is 3D printing these kinds of fairings, rotor guards etc. and Aon is out there looking like a high school project.

I just gotta say, as far as mtb online community contributions to the lexicon go... crab link is way better then downcountry. Feels the right amount of "inside baseball" and too far out there for the masses to absorb. Feel like this is going to be one of those if you know you know inside jokes for a long time to come. You guys should be satisfied with yourselves lol.

I wonder if rogue racing is not continuing with him. Considering the success of the other riders, Thibault and his “rumors” may very well be a hinderance in getting sponsors. And rogue can probably get more points than thibault by hiring a up and coming or mid pack veteran female elite. Which seems unlikely if he is on the team. My guess this is his “hey I’m still available” post before msa. But It doesn’t seem like he’s changed his position of being totally innocent of any wrongdoing. And if that were the case I think it would come to...

Jeff, I think you need “local administrators “ (maybe your beta testers) to mark the trail segment. So someone who is willing to walk the track and get a very (more?) accurate initial segment to work from. A lot of segments on Strava are created when someone has ridden them at speed and this plays with the accuracy wildly. I’d also say you need to only allow these people to submit race tracks/segments so you don’t end up with a load of junk on there. I also think a lot of segments need retiring on Strava as the original trail...

lots still on the line. Asa could still catch Max. Aletha has a chance to catch Rosa. Still lots of shuffling to be had in the mens Top10. The team rankings will be interesting this week. Sascha's result may leapfrog Trek past Specialized for 10th place

Neko saving the broadcast of the penultimate race of the season. You all heard it was the penultimate race of the season, right guys?

If they are doing a Q1 and Q2 system, which I think works as much as it may be stressful at times, they should drop points in quali. There’s more than enough incentive for a good run and it makes the points focused on the finals which actually matter.

Most Strava users use their phone. Most paying Strava users with a Strava subscription use a garmin device.

This isn’t YT’s first time pulling the plug on a race team and not giving any notice. Ask Gwin about that. And according to the team manager in the video, they found out the same day the press release went out to Pinkbike, Vital etc. They all stated they aren’t getting paid anymore and are funding themselves for the final races. I can see why some of them choose not to represent YT on their jerseys.

if yeti is gonna push more back into DH next season this would help them from a points perspective in '27
