so like onlyfans? the discounts on the sponsors gear / parts is actually kind of interesting too. makes for a better value proposition IMO.

Up at Australian National Champs at the moment, Connor is still on the V10, same set-up as at Hardline

The new course has a couple features that are much larger than your typical Dh course. They had required go arounds for the juniors at the new Whistler track as well. Honestly i like the direction. Allows them to build bigger for the elites Without increasing risks for the less advanced juniors.

Probably, especially now with how expensive WB and the UCI are trying to make world cups, and having to travel more for smaller races. This is probably better for the Race Talk or Team Rumors threads though.

Looks more like a test rig for frame fatigue/strength?

It's clearly to change bar flex characteristics mid-run. Maybe if you were an elite athlete like the rest of us here, you'd understand these things.

I'm going to guess August based on absolutely no information anyone actually told me.

I want to know what this is for and why I didn't think of it.

Now I'm going to block him just because you told me not to

Looks killer. For shocks.

Anyone ridden and Esker? I wasn't a fan of their (or anyone's) swoopy carbon frames, but IIRC the handful of reviews I saw were generally favorable. The new frames are available in either Ti or aluminum. Geo looks good. Pricing is reasonable.

Not everyone who watches World Cups speaks English or wants to listen to English language commentary. Rob is amazing . Claudio never was. Elliot is much better.
