I think the main thing is to never ever underestimate the capacity of Copyright lawyers to be an asshole about something.

I mean, i'll admit it - I am dumb as a rock. But could literally a cnc machined spacer, and a thru axle adapter infringe on their patent? I am sure it can, but it sounds strange. And it essentially makes it so sram themselves potentially sell more transmission groupsets. Would be more logical if the C&D came from spesh/yeti instead

But there is nothing with UDH, there you modify the frame to fit a SRAM component...what's the issue with the patent?? isnt?

There is a bunch of aftermarket udh hangers so I doubt anyone is after them...

Going to be fun reading wireless/electronic aficionados rationalizing an expensive, cumbersome and fugly axs dropper over a cabled version.

If you cant finish the race because of your shock, no one can…

They’re great because you can wear sunglasses with them 😂

Kind of what i was thinking reading their post about leaving Intense but getting into gear boxes. Interesting.

Use one during dual slalom and take out your competitors mario kart style

It looks like they refined the air can to be a true hand grenade for when it does blow up. /s

Now that it’s no longer an anniversary year for fox can teams finally ditch those gold lowers?

You’re on crack cocaine dude. I’ll put up my own 100 grand if Dan Atherton got on a World Cup downhill podium in 2025. I’ll even grandfather in a five-man podium…he did it once, 20 years ago, so yeah. Freebase rock crack cocaine ice meth pcp

I was just going to say, what if that’s where fmd ends up. Would be pretty sick!

A bazzillion to one odds, but I'd love to see/laugh my ass off, if the Seagraves ended up on Zerode's chasing the $100k prize.

He has consistently said awful things about certain demographics. I personally don’t really care or judge anyone till I meet them a few times but it doesn’t look great to most

I've been biking between NZ and EU/UK for atleast 10 years, I think ive seen 2 orbea's in person.. I've seen Bikes not even sold in NZ... in NZ such as privateer, Propain and a few radon's... more than orbea lol

They have and do. However the stigma of and use of those “throttle assisted” (not pedal assisted) ebikes means that they prefer not to shout about it.

Here’s a rumour: Fox and Rockshox are both working on something new. Bravo kiddo Let’s state the obvious. Is this really the level that we’ve sunk to now.

You’re not posting rumours. You’re just gossiping and stirring. Either post something useful and insightful or don’t bother. The “I’ve got a secret but I’m not telling anyone” is just a bit pathetic and more than childish. It’s fine if you can’t say anything, but if that’s the case just be a adult and shush. This thread is clogged up enough as it is. Lets face it, every major player is working on something so we can all post that quite easily!
