Primoz Added a reply to How Much Reach is Too Much Reach?

So, while I have made some posts (on first page), I sadly haven't read the majority of this thread since making my last post (over a year ago!). Maybe I will get to it after posting this, but I just want to share my findings. I've been drinking the long reach Kool-Aid. And I’m loving it. [b]Starting off, I have...

@Whattheheel yeah, i know, but nevertheless, a good point. It might be his own doing. Will be interesting to see if anything happens.

It's not 'how they did the boltless thing'. It's the 'Volcom' thing. Volcom isn't exactly a bike/MTB brand (if anything, BMX, maybe...). So him having a stem cap from Volcom might maybe indicate some changes? At least that's what i'd like to hear about, don't know if jmcneill has the same stance.

Yeah, they can be dropped, but the governing body can't mandate that the sponsors drop the athletes as part of the punishment. That's what I'm saying. Dropping or not is a decision completely in the hands of the sponsor. EDIT: at the risk of poking the wasp nest, Jared and Richie training together and failing the drug test together does...

Again, sponsor dropping is not something that can be given as a punishment. Also, i think one of the drugs was found in a nutritional supplement from Ryno there was a picture of Graves mixing it or something.

I don't think anybody said that the punishment itself would be for the sponsors to drop them. It was more of a question what the sponsors will do. By themselves. As for top 50, top 5, etc., both Jared and Richie had very medicore seasons in 2017. Richie bounced back in 2018, but still, far from previous performances. For both...

It's very simple. They used something that's banned. Unknowingly or knowingly, doesn't matter. They are paid and are paid well enough that this is their job and taking care of what you're eating or drinking is a part of it. Cheating is cheating and there have to be consequences. Anything else gives a completely wrong precedence to the sport in...

FWIW, not horst link and i doubt a DH bike is their forte. They seem like a brand with different aspirations, riding wise.

They have just released the new Legend, but it's just an adaptation of the old version to 29 wheels. This could be a completely new bike. I do agree though that it could maybe fit Mondraker. And he has had a Mondraker frame on his Instagram before.

The style looks kinda Banshee, elements of it kinda look like a Transition, but the linkage is off, etc. Given that it's Sebastian Macura and that he has some Polish sponsors, i think he's from that part of the world and thinking this might be some local prototype?

You have to offset the banned substances in the nutritional supplements with that good, highly dliuted stuff of homeopathic medicine.

The substances weren't banned a few years ago, this is the spin here - rules changed and nobody (Jared and Richie) didn't check the supplements contents. That's the official story at least. Yeah, Curtis will probably be a lifestyle and product development rider from here on now. Though i'm not a massive fan of his (he's okay to me), i...

Hm, from Cecce Camoin's Instagram: "My biggest dream comes true I’m officially in the Specialized Racing enduro team with @maxchapuis and @killiancallaghan" Where's Curtis then?
URLPLS. Their video showed the exact same screen that is also in this article (right above the In Action chapter, middle part of the photo). There you can see you have two buttons mapped to the right shifter pod and one to the left dropper pod. And you can throw around what each of the three buttons does. But there are not three buttons on the shifter pod, so no, you can not control the RD and the dropper from one side. Unless they give out an update where the dropper will activate with a long press or something.
