Sounds to me like it is the spring system used in the derailleur clutch

I realize that most rock gardens and features are man-made, but when they look like that...it just feels weird, and more-than-manufactured. The 2-lane rack garden just seems problematic as mentioned above, but also that section of wood rounds - it looks cool on camera, but has anyone ridden something like that? It just seems different for the sake of different. On another note, that video was painful to watch. I haven't watched many (if any) XC "course walk' videos, but that gave me no feel for the track. They just kept showing different angles of the few interesting-looking features on...

Very curious to hear what the riders think; all that wood is gonna be lethal if it rains and those vertical rock lane dividers look stupid-dangerous if someone crashes there...

Oh please dude... Your average cat 1 junior these days would completely decimate an elite world cup in 2001. If you don't believe me... In 1997 there was a world cup at Massanutten. The winning time at that race was 4:28 by Tomas Misser. That time would've gone into a smoking 13th place this year at the DHSE race in male cat 2/3 40+ on the same track. Face it, people are WAY better at riding bikes these days. Watch any footage of early world cup dh racing and then watch any vital raw of a recent round and see...

Still too nuanced. The elite field is way deeper and way more trained now. Just like almost everything else, like supercross. You don't really get to be a semi-muscular party animal who rocks up to the hut and takes first these days. And a lot of times the tracks are getting short and bike parky to create tighter racing... Although that doesn't describe VDS at all. And then of course modern bikes. Not only are they clearly better BUT they are significantly better for outlier body types. I'm still DEFINITELY not gonna say those 2 runs are comparable. And I'd...

Every year there is at least one rider that I really want to get a Win. Last year it was BK who I am still hoping he gets one but this year I am rooting hard for Dak to get that #1. This might make a good poll and then we could know if we can collectively WILL riders onto the top step! Who is it that you want to win??

SRAM indicates it does not work, my angle grinder believes otherwise. Grinding non-critical centering material off a UDH dropout provided required clearance between the smallest cog and dropout. Shifts great - especially improved shifting to harder gears and under load. X0 (XS-1295) cassette, XX t-type chain, XX1 Eagle mechanical shifter and derailleur.
