8/17/2018 3:00pm If I'm not mistaken, some companies have been working with progressive bottom-out bumpers for the coil shocks, fox being one of those that I recall. Not sure how much force they can dissipate with them, or how close it would come to an air shock. Regarding the moto mouse: It's available, but at least for outdoor nationals, it is one...

2/5/2018 7:36am 100% an ibis. See inside of non-drive seat-stay.

2/5/2018 7:27am Yeah that's an Ibis. That just made my day, did they really think no one would notice?

2/5/2018 7:23am Says DW Link clearly on the chain stay. Am I insane to think YT just posted a teaser featuring an Ibis? Same paint, dw link, it's an Ibis as far as I am concerned. But also, Feb 8th being the day before the UCI releases the rosters can't be a coincidence.

1/30/2018 4:07am Feb 9th is the date UCI publishes the teams, so not long for final word for all the big DH teams. Not sure if EWS has a similar publication date for the teams. Also, out of curiosity: Has there ever been a case where a rider has switched teams during the team transfer window mid-season?

1/16/2018 5:56am No suspension sponsor? Or yet to be announced? Obviously didn't want to be giving Sram the logo placement in that shot.

1/8/2018 11:41am Hopefully it means: Athertons + Hope = Athertons + Brayton. Brayton deserves to not be a lone renegade in the pits. edit: I would like to just quote the text as to not repeat the picture, is this possible somehow?

1/7/2018 5:43pm That Bruni picture is an old picture while on Lapierre/Sram. Pretty sure it's a pike and the colours may not be accurate with reflections or something.

12/28/2017 7:11pm And they may have picked that way. I read that as a thank you for the past two years, nothing more. Says nothing about the future and does not say that he is off Yeti in any way - even though it does sort of read that way.

12/28/2017 11:47am Like Marc Beaumont was? Also, anybody know what casey Browns plans for next year are? I'd really love to see a team and her commit to a full season series, whether DH or EWS. That is unless, she is truly where she wants to be; floating between disciplines and projects. She does seem to have a pretty fun looking schedule.

The EWS posts top ten cumulative times btw, would've saved you a little work. It's pretty impressive how well the top ten overall standings mirror the cumulative times. I'd almost think there would be more variation. Like Maes and Rude. Only the small flip of Gauvin and Nicolai. Otherwise the order stays the same, and only Thomas Lapeyrie and Joe Barnes end up in the top ten cumulatively (8th and 10th respectively). Also of note, Clemetz ends up on the overall podium, with only one top three stage finish on the year (as far as I can tell) - consistency...

onthewhiskey Added a reply to UCI Rule Changes for 2018
10/18/2017 5:20am No problem! It is definitely a change for the better in my opinion. What I would really like to see as well is that the top 1,2, or 3 juniors that move up to elite be protected as well. It would definitely help those riders stay on (or get) good rides for that first year. Also their runs are normally...

10/18/2017 4:04am It has been reported the same in various other places, but the wording suggests a very key difference in the protected riders amendment: the top 10 from the previous season are protected - for the entirety of the season. Top ten in the current standings that were not part of last years final top 10 are then also protected. Max...

3/21/2017 3:54pm So is this the first 29er RS Boxxer seen in the wild then? Every other proto has either been USD or shaved 40 as far as I recall.

I've been loving these reviews, and there is some pretty good insight into the bikes. However, I think there's way too much focus placed on the chainstay length in reviews these days, and the affect it has on a bike is rather ambiguous. Especially since in these tests (and among many other tests performed by an array of media outlets), I've now read that shorter chainstays make it harder to weight the front wheel (i.e. rear weight bias), and that longer chainstays put more weight rearward. Totally contradicting arguments, and only two examples from this batch of reviews - many...
