The east/west beefs in Canada is what kind of donairs are the best, Halifax vs Mediterranean and whether shredded cheese on fries and gravy counts as poutine. It doesn't.

Chain reaction cycles? Already on a nukeproof. Uk rider. That Cathro team of atwill and Edmund son is marketing gold. The industry would have to be stupid to not want to jump on that and support it to something sustainable even if it’s non traditional. Hopefully some brands and retailers step up.

Next year he is riding for the '31 others' team, you heard it here first!

Isn't rumors and speculation what this thread is about?

The one that get's me is how long some of the females have been riding. I think it's Nina.... she's been riding 3 years or something absolutely shockingly low. I've been riding 20+ and still suck lol

I'm looking for the UCI DH / F1 comparison thread, have I come to the right place? I'll see myself out...

he is going to sign with pinkbike to win the EWS on the grim donut next year!

Forbidden was suppose to talk about the new bike somewhere around october and be available around christmas. I've emailed them as I was waiting for it...other bikes I was interested in too are now sold out so I was realllyyyy waiting for it! They told me the production has been pushed back a bit and are still aiming to have a release by end of the year and bikes to be to full production early 2021.

1. tons of people used remote lockouts in Pietermaritzburg and in Canberra. Some people in both cases even went so far to run effectively enduro bikes (single crown fork of Fabien Barel in Canberra, prototype of what was to be the Spartan for Stevie in Pietermaritzburg). 2. use the technology that is available to you. Theoretically this is available to everybody. It's the sponsors and/or the riders problem, if these things do not get used. And it's not like lockouts are something that nobody has seen. And even if they were, so what? Somebody figured out something new. And it's...

Cheating is maybe the wrong term, anyone could have used a rear lockout like many did in Cairns and he manually adjusted his front fork compression with his hand... Unless being smart is considered cheating?

This might warrant a new thread but has anyone tried the Vorsprung Secus yet? I saw the Luftkappe mentioned upthread and I love mine but really intrigued by the Secus Upgeraditis is real folks, talk to your doctor about it.

Just different parts packages. Fox, rs, SRAM, and Shimano all had releases for last year. Commencal along with many brands could be guilty of barely changing a bike And acting like 2 mm longer chainstays would totally change your life for marketing reasons. I think a lot of brands liked the idea of a “new model” every year but have realized most riders aren’t that dumb Or would be mad when they Spent 6 k for barely a difference. It wasn’t a good model for anyone. An interesting theme is that many brands are offering no discounts on older models...

I's say more and more brands are doing just that, Commencal and Banshee quickly come to mind but I believe there are more...

In house manufacturing will only happen when the manufacture is in Taiwan or China the best example would be Chromag you can buy a Chromag Wideangle for I think $749 that's welded in Asia or you can get a Samurai that's welded by Mike Truelove in BC for $1634 & I really really want a Samurai can't justify it but it'll likely happen. its one of those here's my money things! So think about this because I have currently we pay about $1500-1600 for a asia welded full suspension bike(Commencal)if the manufacturers can't source quality product at a decent price...

From what I've understood its the problem with parts so I doubt each brand is willing to design their own forks/shocks, brakes etc...
