And it's not like the racers get first dibs on the prototypes. That's the engineers and test riders job. They are the ones riding the first mule and the refined protos go into the racers hands. It might seem like they ride the bleeding edge stuff and the first protos, but stuff they ride still needs to work. They still...

I think his first season or 'pre-season' was on global racing. He was in a bike movie at the time, i don't remember the title, and he was the weird alien kid not wearing gloves.

Technically, if you get all the needed funding from other sponsors, you don't need to do the consumer part. Just sell the frames that are required by UCI (is there even a number? is 1 enough?) and job done. This is what GT1 class in Le Mans was in essence. Balls to the walls designs of 'road going' cars, 'sold...

All this talk that Mavic guys could go Enve... The parent company of both is the same. That doesn't necessarily mean the marketing budgets and the like is shared. Mavic could decide on who to sponsor on their own and likewise Enve. Plus both companies have differing cultures, etc. And talking about wheels, Mavic makes rims and wheelsets, while Enve...

I don't buy that. DT clearly labels their wheels 26, 27,5 or 29 as in inches,w hile the widths are 22,5, 25, 30, 35 and 40 for their X(R), (X)M and E(X) series of rims and wheelsets. And the widths are not marked with the number directly, the XM series of rims is labeled as XM 401 (22,5 mm), XM...

Loic's bke is on the FOX Raptor. Gwin confirmed back to Specialized. (But yeah, it looks like the current main triangle, the new bike looks to be either about ready, he's doing the Neko thing like mentioned or is playing with us by putting 29er stickers on 650b wheels.)

I knew the new Strive was gonna be a 29er given the Torque and the longer legged Spectral! It makes sense since Trek did exactly the same with the Remedy and Slash. Anywho, i'm happy to see i'm not the only one running the shifter and dropper remote inboards with swapped Matchmakers left-to-right

Why put an idler on the carbon version when the pivot is so low? You'll bring in tons of squat if you want to mount the idler in such a location as to not interfere with the chainring.

No idler, but i'd say the high pivot was there because the old single pivot front triangle was used, which locked in the pivot location in that case.

He was on TLD clothing before as well, while the team was running Scott clothing. This part didn't change. Oh, and no more BOS, they are back to FOX suspension.
