Well it's 8.25am January 1 in Sydney, I have a belting hangover. Expecting to see 300 post with new signings, rumours confirmed, ratboy to ride a 3 shocked cannondale. Instead we get Sam Hill riding for his local shop. back to bed

Rocky is off Rocky.

He may well have a case for dismissal (I haven't heard that his legal troubles have been resolved yet) but even if it was as clear as day I can't see any team touching him until it's settled and the details are public. And even then, it's still baggage...

I started a petition for Gee Atherton to please chill out already: https://www.change.org/gee_please_stop

I'm not sure an Mtb forum is really the best venue to argue about rape conviction rates to be honest.

That's not really backed up by the prosecution/conviction statistics at all. e.g.: "According to figures from the French Ministry of Gender Equality, every year in France, 94,000 women report being victims of rape or attempted rape. But in 2021, barely 1 percent of the reported assaults resulted in a conviction." In the UK it's still extremely hard to get a conviction for rape. I know someone who was drugged then raped, and despite a lot of evidence there was no conviction. I can imagine in somewhere like France it would be even harder just with what the prevailing attitude towards...

More photos of new Ransom. 3 colors, 2 sets on axs, 1 on standard cables.

Hmmm..... These Scotts ain't getting prettier

Would you ride a cube if you weren't getting paid to ride it?

Not sure how this fits into the ''Innovation'' part of the topic, but anyways: Fox showing up at A1 (Supercross) with a one-piece suit for one of their riders. Apparently there's no immediate plans for production. And for those wondering, there's supposed to be an opening/closure right around where rider's names are usually placed on the jersey back to enter these suits. Perhaps one of the Fox Mtb athletes will rock up at the first WC with one of these?

Aw thanks, big Who's That Pokemon fan. Stoked to see him on canyon though, good ass for sure Edit: add, idk maybe both

Delete your account kook. Sounds like you’re mad you couldn’t use full travel because you ride like a pansy.

We actually blocked you. Because of all the other crap not the thinking something is too progressive. You’re actually the only person we’ve ever blocked. I guess you get some sort of an award or something. Not sure it’s one I’d want…

This guy seems like he has some inside industry knowledge 🤔

More like I finally have the option of a downhill bike so I want to see what all the hype is about. I am plenty happy with Enduro and from what I've heard internally, contrary to rumours, Enduro isn't going anywhere. But just wait till you see my latest bike, new year new me.

Can we just please ignore him?

Be a man and post your issues here or delete all this shit posting. You’ve been called out a bunch and can’t follow through you clown

This is not a tech rumor so I’m not going to talk about this again. What I will say is we haven’t seen a single case of frame damage due to regular use. Frames are pretty overbuilt. Your wheels are more likely to blow up first. Ask me how I know. Off the top of my head, I can only remember two instances where serious frame damage occurred. One was improper installation and one was incompatible shock. We actually paid for the crash replacement frame for the incompatible shock case because there was a typo on our website that was...

proper spy geekery

The bike industry is in the shitter, for sure. I’m still surprised any company can sponsor an enduro racer at this point. The coverage is almost literally nonexistent. No return on investment. Most companies are blowing out their bikes at crazy prices. I don’t see where sending a racer(s) around the world to race their bikes can be financially possible. They can’t sell enduro bikes based on results and race coverage if the coverage is refreshing a website to see who’s winning then getting a highlight video after the race. Couple that with the state of the industry. Can’t be...
