Oli_C Added a reply to UCI grant Discovery WC rights from 2023 to 2030
6/21/2024 3:03am Looks like Eurosport users have been had by the big dogs. I received an email saying that Eurosport Premium will be discontinued on 22 July. "The good news is that Max is the new streaming platform for Eurosport". However the sport package is extra on top of the base. I have no use for the base subscription, I want mountain...

6/10/2024 6:09am I think it is a very weird dynamic of a team, but very successful team. From the outside, here, bashing on a keyboard it appears like Loic is the god of the team. At one point on the stream Laurent didn't look that happy for Finn doing well as Loic was still to come down. However it can't be that...

Not to mention that they're largely advertising in 'action sports,' like MTB, F1, supercross, etc., that are largely popular with men, e.g. primary porn consumption audience.

Oli_C Added a reply to Lew Buchanan Banned from UCI Racing Because of OnlyFans Sponsorship
4/3/2023 1:50pm I don't think it's at all conspiracy theory of you. It's what I have been thinking for a while. I'm sure some marketing person at Only Fans was like, our main users are male, what else is also male dominated, mountain biking & motocross. Let's grt our name out there in front of potential customers whilst framing it as rebranding...

So the World Cup is now the World Series, except for the Enduro World Series which is now the Enduro World Cup, but the World Series is just made up of World Cups. Got it. Whenever you read about a stupid branding decision, just remember: somebody got paid real, actual money for this nonsense. Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. FFS.

1/13/2023 2:05am Curious what Roskopp's big e-bike developement is that he sayed is possibly a few years away on the Pink podcast. Later in the interview he talks about hybrid cars & hydrogen powered cars. Is he talking about an ebike with a different power source to huge heavy lithium batteries?

4/22/2022 11:58am My latest project has been to beef up a Canyon Spectral AL 29" for Alpine riding. I have a Wild Enduro Front Race Line, 1300g, Magi-X up front. Previously I ran standard Wild Enduro's, 1000-ish grams GUM-X up front with great success on rocks, roots, dry, wet and everything else. On the rear I have a Wild Enduro Rear Race...

Budget? I had the previous version of this which was a great bike. There's no doubt it's a superb handling bike. Here in Europe this model has gone up €1500. That's a lot of money to get average heavy wheels, a very basic fork, thin tyres and low levels brakes. Kona are not the only brand to have done, it many have. It's the new world of bike prices unfortunately, for whatever reason, there are multiple, some true, some corporate speak.

3/27/2022 1:39pm Just wondering whats happened to the slideshows? We were of course spoilt to have such good coverage the last few years. Last year we lost EWS slideshows and I barely followed the series. Luckily for DH we have videos and live stream. Has the industry evolved and photogs are making money elsewhere? Fair enough if so.

2/16/2022 5:44am When my Dutchie friends are not down visiting me in the Alps they go The Belgian and French Ardennes for long weekends, and occasionally to Luxembourg. I believe that there is minor trail conflict issues in the Belgian Ardennes, Maybe Dodgems can provide more info. Trailforks is full of fun trails. To me it looks like BRitish woodland riding that...

12/23/2021 12:40am I too am a big van of the Vanzacs and was surprised when they did a 90's style calender. I thought they had more sense than that. And I can't believe there are still Monster girls at the SuperCross and MX. Sorry that we have derailed Team Rumours. I dislike that too, but seeing as many people, including Spomer missed...

Oh it was almost looking so good, but no small 29ner? Small people want full 29 too. I wonder when the inbetween version of a Spectral and Torque will come?

11/22/2021 12:57pm I think that the bike park dh 34 is a cheaper more basic construction than the AM, Enduro and DH tyres. It's wire bead after all. I havent run mine many times. It came up on the thin side and it's not super grippy. IT WILL LAST THO. You should see a mates... I think I prefer the Wild Enduro...
