Just leaving this one here for you guys Edit 23.12.2024 - I do not allow Pinkbike or any other outlet to use this picture. Vital Team Rumors exclusive!

The Chances of Daprela ending up at pivot whilst Siegenthaler is still involved is 0 - not to go back to shite talking about rumours but she was maybe the strongest hater of daprela when all “that” info came out

I mean he irritates me on Youtube so imagine him as your boss.

You know how rich dorks move into the cool neighborhood and then start complaining about the nightclub’s noise and the neighborhood starts sucking and becomes lame and they’re all looking around like what? That’s what this feels like. Union embodied the passion that truly drives the sport. Their whole thing was to help, not to earn. Pricing them out is not better for anyone.

Matt Walker (english) to Trek Factory Racing. Per OTB podcast. Could be a good fit

Happy to make the list with OTB, it's all still a learning experience and a side project for me. Always interested to hear what people are enjoying though!

OTB podcast just dropped an interview with Lachie Stevens-Mcnabb. No juicy team rumours but that kid has a good head on his shoulders. So many references to we or the team or The Union - obviously aware of the support and role of the team to get him to where he is.

I'm not sure why anyone would be chomping at the bit so much that they HAD to be first on the order books to pay full price for a frame from a brand new company who: 1. has no reason to be instilled with consumer confidence or trust other than marketing and a solid spokesperson/owner (i.e. limited info out there on the bike, no reviews, no history of other platforms, no history of customer relations, etc); and 2. has no real bespoke or novel tech, particularly progressive geometry, or other reason to try this before everyone else other than "Look...

Glad it looks good on paper because it certainly isn't a looker otherwise.

Is this Lachie Stevens ? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBgyPunOYmD/?igsh=ZmFnZTZmOG85eHEz

Reminder that some of the users commenting and getting downvoted are in fact team managers 😂

Yeah. Their mum is Rebel Wilson and their dad was the volleyball in Castaway.

Thanks for ruing a fun joke

my $0.01, to complete the 2, is that... USD double crown is the more reliable solution.. having ridden back to back Ohlins 38 and Intend Infinity EN @ 180mm (and also @ 190mm) the difference in fore-af stiffness is night and day, way better with the USD....intentionally braking in the wrong places (roots and rocks) you feel like your front brake has more power with the intend..the ohlins wants to bind a little but then gives in and works good whereas the intend is clearly just pure spring and damper, no binding at all ..I will stop as I dont...

DAMPER

I don't know about smart, but I know it's shtty of me to act like I can read people's minds. I don't really know how people are thinking about this. But it comes up a fair amount and it seems like the next logical step for everyone who is measuring bike stuff. The questions we can see being asked about bike performance seem totally legit to me. Which PB bike test bike gets up the impossible climb fastest? Did my lap times improve when I changed tires? Did the rider of the DH bike with the tuned mass damper experience...

I asked ChatGPT what Sesame Seed was talking about and to be okay with being brutally honest and distasteful if it wants. Enjoy: This comment seems to be a convoluted attempt at drawing parallels between professional bike racing and motorsports, particularly Formula 1, but it’s a jumbled mess of loose associations and misplaced terminology. Let’s break it down brutally: 1. Chain Drive Skepticism : The commenter kicks off with skepticism about recent changes to bike racing due to “chain drive,” but gives no real details or context for what exactly they are skeptical about. It feels like they are grasping...

I read this twice and I still have no idea what you intended to say other than jaded garbage. You definitely have truly lackluster diction.
