I have to disagree. The new Tyee is a nice bike. Let's see how the Spindrift will look like. One thing's for sure: They have a winning business model.

I actually remember an ooooold video of Nigel riding a frame like that with a trail bike fork... https://www.instagram.com/p/Br3I-62Fkpm/?igshid=qzjn13sf3zpy

Am disappoint.

Someone is following Paul Aston on the gram

You can laugh at me, but 13 winters ago it was bought as a budget item for what was to become my first proper DH bike. It was put on a way too small for me '99 GT Lobo frame (I'm 6 foot 3) and was run with a mixture of old and new parts. The frame already had 2 national titles under its belt and was one of the first proper DH bikes to hit these shores back in the day. I actually lived together with our National Champ of back then when our buddy brought him the bike...

I don't exactly know how we got to OG Super T's and Mr. T's, but if this isn't the place to brag that I own a polished OG Super T just like the one above, then where? :D Mine came from a Sintesi Bazooka (I have no clue what happened to it) and it initially had some team-green decals. The disc caliper mount was made from the lowest grade aluminium, was very brittle and broke easily. I had stainless steel replacements made while I rode that fork. I also have a Mr. T, but it's less sexay than the Super...

why? there's no live coverage of this race. what is it spoiling for you in this case? we don't put names in world cup DH results.

the shorter one is for the throttle duh

Can someone with an eBike help me understand this ad from ODI? Why in the hell do they need to advertise that grips are eBike compatible? They're grips....that go on the same handlebars found on regular and eBikes.

Also, only one male rider has won a World Cup in his debut year in Elite. That was Gee Atherton at Round 3 in Schladming, back in 2004. Both Greg and Sam won their first WC in their 2nd year of elite. Nicolas Vouilloz won a World Cup as a Junior (the first ever World Cup in 1993), and then won his second race as a 2nd year elite in 1995. For the women, three have won races in the debut elite year, Anne-Caroline Chausson, Rachel Atherton and Tracey Hannah. Three women have also won World Cups as juniors when...

Martin Whiteley posting on Vital? Ordered descending by number of wins...nice

...and know all the experts on The Other Site (and their endurocats) have opinions about what a pro mountainbiker is and isn't supposed to be doing in the off-season and how dirtjumping ”doesn't help at all” in downhill. * rolls eyes *

Take the Cody Kelley complaint club somewhere else, please.

This. I love racing and I'll get wrapped up in the drama in the moment, but my DH racing days have been over for a while. Guys like Matt and what they're doing are what I strive for now. I'll watch every video he puts out before I worry myself about team recap vids. Except WynTV. Give me that all day.

Commencals recent streak with their race winning Supreme is working well on the sales front at least here. Seeing a lot of them and for good reason, it's a great bike at a great price. In the good old days with cars it was "race on sunday, sell on Monday" and that somewhat is true in the MTB industry. then you have Paul the Punter with more sponsors than the SC Syndicate and he can't bleed a set of brakes or Jump a double so what do I know lol

There is Jack's interview on The Other Site that keeps cranking ”articles” out of this thread. My take between the lines: - Gwin can screw a team's vibe up pretty bad 🤢 - Intense had the most fun team out there and they decided to kill it because of above primadonna; oh, and money 💩 - Cannondale's cock is much smaller than it used to be 🤫 - Jack is REALLY diplomatic about his ”choice” 🥺 - when you don't have much to choose from, you accept a change of discipline too 😔 - enduro is actually killing top-level downhill...
