Oz_Taylor Added a comment about press release ATHERTONS START BIKE BRAND

All I have to say is good luck to them. The whole Atherton image is built around results and professionalism. They aren’t the young, fashionable rippers that they used to be. Gee needs to get podiums to prove this concept. Rachel is between a rock and a hard place. If she doesn’t dominate like we are used to seeing, everyone will blame the bike. if she continues to win, people will say that bike doesn’t matter. I think they should have taken on an up and coming young rider who can make the right shapes and bring something fresh to...

Yep, Maxxis did a great job bringing quality tires to everybody, but the truth is that the High Roller, Minion DHR and Minion DHF were nothing but rip-offs of Michelin's Comp 16, 24 and 32 with some tweaks here and there. The Comp 24 actually goes WAY back, starting life as the Transalp, then being offered as the Hot S with Silica Compound and noticeably red. I believe the WildGripper DH soft 2.2 was also very similar to the Transalp tread-pattern. Michelins were highly sought-after at the beginning of the 2000's until the middle of the decade, but they were...

1/16/2019 11:59am Syndicate were on SC Reserve rims last season. Not sure I understand your point really. Do you really think Fairclough buys his own rims?

1/10/2019 11:41am I agree, but you can't take anything away from Miranda for the Worlds win. Lot's of world cups are won due to mechanicals and other crazy stuff. I think Specialized were right to take a chance with her. That win could have launched her into a successful 2018 season, but it wasn't to be.

I wish I could claim exceptional powers of recollection, but I was just googling for reviews of the M29 after reading this thread and happened to recognize that photo in the Vital article.

One of the few and true legends of our sport. In his reference to sleeping on tiles in 2003 while on Madcatz, they used to come up to us time to time in Laguna beach and have a luxury weekend away. We had mattresses, pillows and carpets to sleep on....

Qranc Team - Their segment in "Down" was sick. Yes, I'm old enough to know that. https://youtu.be/zdfS8eLQeL0?t=792

Why are you here? 15+ years ago Rennie was doing things on a bike that you could only dream of. You ignorant fool.

Hey Rennie, if you need some photos for your book I have a few of you and Kovarik getting rowdy in Les Gets ;-) When you two partied, the whole place erupted. Wild times!

You are talking of stuff from ages ago. Mike Sinyard sold 49% to Merida in 2001 (that is 18 years ago), when they had financial problems and were looking for funding. The deal was to make their bikes at the pretty good Merida facilities and that they would buy back the percentage they sold to Merida each year. This is information I received first hand from people working for Merida at a Merida testing and team camp back in 2013. I don't know where they are at percentage-wise these days, but Merida definitely don't own 49% of Specialized anymore. In...

It's pretty much an open secret that Gwin is gonna be with Intense this season. Ebike he's referring to is the new Tazer E-Bike.
