Is Rachel racing this year?

I just run short cage clutch derailleurs on my single speed bikes. I have a bunch of old 10sp clutch short cages and they work like a charm. I’ve broken a zee and a Saint, but my gx and xo ders are still going strong after 3 seasons each. You can use a short piece of housing with an inline barrel adjuster on the end, run the cable through to hold tension where your rear cog is, and then use the barrel adjuster to fine tune it. I never did the longer limit screws. You can also set up a...

that's a pretty impressive lineup for a small company...

Like in beliving the forbidden is not a single pivot?

The issue is that often there isn't anything to do but wait and see if (if not when...) it gets better. The concussion podcast on The Inside Line was a good one regarding this.

I’m sure he is doing everything he can. I really hope so, good vibes to him.

Good question! I remember seeing him on track at Windrock's National race in 2019 and thinking he was Charlie Harrison because he was so pinned! He pulled over right beside me and I had to straight up ask him "who the heck are you!?!?!". He would have been 5th in Pro that weekend. I hope he got things sorted after his big concussion (in 2019 I believe).

I'd heard rumblings that Rocky might be working on a high pivot bike. This looks to be confirmation of that. Seems like half of these NF dudes are on the current slayer as is. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/spotted-another-prototype-high-pivot-bike… Side note: For once something was on PB first

An abomination ( the Paradox ) , that this bloke wants others to pay the development of. Here's a hint to this person : learn to weld and machine yourself, and Make the bloody thing, Yourself. I did that in the early 70s, first as a 12 year old. It's had me earning money, and making my Own frames, and Designing / Prototyping for manufacturers, for now over 5 decades. It's a URT, no matter what 'scissor linkage' he's designed. So, having the riders mass going into the un-sprung mass total, the millisecond that they get off the seat. It's...

Well, we lost 2 athletes to this program-but we could not be happier for their new directions. Ryan has been a TLD grom since he started racing and we always hope these riders graduate into a factory program that is still with the brand, but, ultimately hope they find a solid and stable and supportive home-GT is a great program and we always know they are in good hands with Steve Spencer and the team-congrats Ryan. And as we said before, so happy for Katy to get back on a factory effort, not worry about all the headaches of self...

It's our fault, our as in the social media consumers, the audience. Watching a 30s video has become tedious to a lot of people, it's instant dopamine hits that count these days. Linus from Linus Tech Tips recently mentioned that if he does not cover the gist of the video (the actual results of the tests) in the first 30 seconds of the video starting, he loses audience. The slow buildup to the final crescendo of the results is apparently gone. Which is a shame. I for one will be watching Neko's videos like a hawk!

Cam Cole is the team manager, new signings Katy Winton as well as Jess Blewitt going full factory after some support from them last Season

UhOh! Someone posting things a bit too early! Also it's nice to see you charged your phone a bit from yesterday, I was worried!
