I think his comment was more that 150bpm would be erroneously low.

Elite DH racers do hit pretty high HR numbers. Source

i ride the tacky chan super gravity and i love it. i had the dhf, assegei etc. in the front...but this tyre is in my point of view the best allrounder in the last 8 years!

Could be good for those of us wanting good announcers

as long as it doesnt interfere with suspension performance why the hell not? would love to have water when doing park laps!

I don't know what it is, I cant put my finger on it but it really feels like Dak is gonna do some damage this year.

Two more weekends with no East Coast USDH races to go before the opening round of Downhill Southeast at the Trials Training Center in Southeast Tennessee... The Gravity Cooperative Crew has been busy on the podcast talking to key USDH players as they prep for liftoff in 2024. We had Ryan Pinkerton on the podcast this week and I can say the kid is absolutely ready to crush it in Elite this year on the new Mondraker Factory Racing team. Check out the episode on any podcast platform. https://open.spotify.com/episode/14NFktipou0aROyYqHLA6r?si=7sgVbv2cSrmm… Who think's Pinky has a podium performance in him this year...

It's gotta be Gwin to Nukeproof with Danny. Danny was just running interference by getting seen everywhere, while Gwin was doing rapid development on the new frame. 1mm different link length and it's perfect for the season to come. Well done Team!

thanks for the screenshots of what's posted. and rad they have replays. seems impossible that they would live stream something and not have it available for replay.

From my experience with calipers, bolted vs mono block isn’t all that important as long as the bolted interface is done properly. That entails getting the fasteners as close to the rotor as possible and maximizing contact area between the two halves. Most the deflection should be between the joint/bridge and the bottom edge of the caliper regardless of how it’s constructed. In my mind for bikes, most the benefit of a mono block lies in packaging. Not having to worry about big bolts frees up space. The bridge across the center of magura calipers would be hard to fit...

Wayyyy back in 2013 my Specialized Enduro 29er had: 430mm chainstays Ample tire clearance 29 inch rear wheel front-derailleur support 142 (technically 142+) rear hub There is no performance justification for 148 or 157 to exist. Now that 148 is the defacto standard for everything from XC to DH, I will never own a bike that is 157 since it makes it that much harder to find the appropriate hub. I don't see 157 growing in marketshare.

No longer a mystery....

pov with hauser and lachie from NZ nationals 2 with live timing link below too. apparently it's dumping rain, so it should be interesting. live timing - https://my.raceresult.com/276281/ - use pulldowns to select different classes.
