12/7/2018 12:32pm I need that bike. Regarding Kate, could they be waiting to see out the Fast Life series before making an announcement? Or the new year, whichever comes later.

12/5/2018 1:30pm Diesel aren't going anywhere for the forseeable future, regardless of the politicians saying so. As for Europe, we are getting the Ranger Raptor besides having the Ranger for years. How is that not marketable to the DH crowd? Though, personally, i'd be much more partial to a Focus RS Estate. With a tow hitch for a bike carrier of course...

A 34.9 mm dropper post, designed specifically for a 34.9 mm, so not just a thicker lower, would make so much sense, even more so with 200 mm posts coming out. I don't understand why this isn't widely supported...

Hey, I can say without a shadow of a doubt it won’t be a standard anytime soon. I can see the OEM orders for a lot of major vendors forward in to about 2020 and it’s not there - do I think we need a larger seatpost standard? Absolutely. Am I gambling my customers money with it? No.

It's been a standard since at least 2005. And it still hasn't caught on yet. So i'm not holding my breath. As for tubes, different types of loads (bending vs. torsional), different tube shapes. At least that's what Nicolai has been saying back in the day, i'd need to think more if it actually makes sense (it's too early ATM for that).

I'd say yes based on the last photo (it includes all the details all other photos do).

12/2/2018 9:55pm And Pastrana 'gave up' on them to ride a Nitro Circus helmet. It was quite a high profile 'sad to see him go' thing. EDIT: wat is the thing that gave Honda the supposed edge? The gearbox?

12/2/2018 12:59pm The mos interesting thing in the answers is that Sven knows of another Honda's location!! How much of the Honda hype is the brand and the professionalism around the whole operation back in the day? I mean the bike might have been really good back in the day, but the technology has moved so far forward it's ridiculous.

11/28/2018 10:43am Point there, but still, as far as i could tell, the whole doping thing didn't help him out as much as you (general you) might think it would before the race. Even without the mechanical.

11/28/2018 7:56am Which article? I heard about one where a triathlete journo microdosed EPO, took a blood sample and sent it to an anti-doping lap for it to be tested, where the results were negative. The results were much more positive on his VO2max results on the other hand. As for climbing the ranks, interestingly, Icarus paints a different story about doping...

11/28/2018 7:51am Correct, he said the new program is 'lit' or something along those lines.

11/27/2018 9:49pm I wouldn't read too much into it regarding Monika, it's basically a Slovenian team, regardless of the Devinci factory connection. The whole team was built upon a local team here, it's like a pro detachment of KD Rajd that... got wildly out of control in a good way :D It is probably an old follow from the old days... When...
Primoz Added a reply to EWS Doping Thread Disappearance
11/27/2018 12:13pm My 2 cents, it's hard for me to see how doping can be unintentional. It's like saying cutting the course and/or shuttling for practice was done unintentionally. It just doesn't fit. And it's in the human nature, as it has been mentioned, to find an edge, a grip higher up to pull yourself above the rest. Legal or not, if...

May I give you some reasons why not to do this, not the least of which is that you created an account today just to make this post. Perhaps trying to keep some anonymity? The testing took place at the French EWS and riders tested were the podium and a few randoms. Myself and Sven posted photos of the riders waiting for testing in race recaps to respective editorial outlets so it's pretty easy to see who all the potential players are here. So of course it would be big names regardless of who it is (the rumors are multiple...
