I am not seeing how the last 4 pages of this thread have anything to do with rumors or innovation.

here is the brake-specific forum thread to put useful information about current brakes into a place where it can be read by people looking for advice on brake setup. it has over 2900 replies about brakes.

your currency is not much worth anymore, it lost like 25% in just 4 years against the swiss franc, what do you people expect things to cost when you import everything and the fascist king wants his cut on top?

Analog riders are the new kooky single speeders. If you think motors make riding too easy then please don’t do the math for how much mechanical advantage gears give you. There isn’t a lot of juice to squeeze from frames since we’re mainly hitting human rights issues on how good a frame can be while still being affordable. We’re still probably not paying the true price for bike when you factor in environmental and human effects of the manufacturing process. That’s where I see the biggest need for innovation. It’s amazing to me though that you unironically list electronic shifting...

Can you post a screenshot here? Not everyone uses instagram.

The Mille negs are shit. Crashes all the time? This was her first broken bone. A clavicle. Amaury jacked his and was racing soon thereafter. I can’t think of any of the top female DH racers from last year that haven’t spent significant time off of the bike recovering. Tahne, Miriam, Camille, Anna, Marine, Jess, etc. Jackson skrewed himself up in ‘24, Ronan in ‘25. Don’t invite them back? ”Read the Room” is the operative phrase here.

Just wanted to add a few things and opinions here. I'm a huge Mille fan and a huge fan of all the gals conquering Hardline over the years, so take it as you will. We all have different perspectives. Sure, Mille has had her fair share of crashes, but so have so many others trying to find the speed to be at the top. I've always viewed her as one of the most comfortable on the big jumps and things. I've been rooting for her to get an invite for a few years, honestly. Anyway, in some of the videos...

"Just saying as I see it" - Same And on getting down the course: Sure you would big man. Sure you would.

This seems like a great topic for a new thread.

Hi, long time WC media guy here (14 years long).. I'm also very curious to hear some names and facts about this from you But in the meantime let me share some of my own. Each team is allowed to register photographers and videographers (each team then receives a set number of photo and video bibs for the season). if someone doesnt work for a team they can register as independent media once they have letters of assignment from a verified media outlet. there are little to no restrictions as to what can be shot/posted. This hasnt changed since the...

I haven't been able to ride for more than ten years due to MS. But while I still could I jumped on the Five Ten train and found personally that they had Too much grip with standard, metal pedals. So I used to run cheep plastic pedals so that I could get a Bit of movement. I always used clips for trail riding and flats only for DH. For dirt jumping and street trials I would use standard shoes and metal pedals.

i think it's time that you guys start a new dedicated "i hate BK" thread. would spare us all of that nonsense, thx

A Venn diagram is a visual representation using two partially overlapping circles to represent the similarities and differences between two things. The more similar, the more overlap there is. He makes a good point, and I’ll still refrain from having an opinion because I know no details except from the court of internet popular opinion. But as said above, the way the rest of the field treats him as persona non grata is telling. No doubt though, that high speed hands off the bar move he once pulled was incredible, and I quite like the phrase “trying to out Pierron...

Maybe he’s also just not that cool of a dude to be around. The Venn diagram for people accused of SA (guilty or not) and being a giant prick is probably close to a circle. I wish he would just be forgotten.

He'd already announced he was parting ways with Rouge racing at the end of 2025. Unlikely Unno could A} afford him, B} want him on their team

start a new freaking thread if you want to talk about that stuff.

There’s a pattern to what Gwin has done after he left the last big team he rode for and it’s not been any good let’s hope he doesn’t ruin Frameworks just as things are going so well.

This drawn out rumble is pointless, as it seems you are looking from different perspectives. Scott DH is owned and run by AP Sports Com. A French based Company Specialised Gravity is owned and run by Pure Agency. A French based Company Norco Race Div. To my understanding is owned by Norco. But I am sure The Goat has a major funding partnership. Canyon CLLCTV. As with Norco, Factory owned. Obviously managed by Fabian B. PIVOT Factory. Owned and run by BK out of Wales. OrbeaFMD. Spanish Brand, English team run... Axess Intense, US brand English owned team. The argument...

Can we put this to bed? The initial post was obviously referring to the team's base and management, rather than the athletes. Specialized Gravity is run by Laurent Delorme, was formerly the Lapierre Factory team and they have croissants for breakfast.

French culture is not Harley Dangerous culture is the point. To be blunt…frenchies and red necks are not the same. But to my other point…some weird idolization here.
