Should this be renamed to "Tech Rumors and Innovation, until a brand asks for posts to be deleted"?

re: derailleur in a can, found @Dave_Camp's dc special video from 2007 or 8 maybe? (it may be blocked in some countries due to my using destiny's child or ciara or tlc or someone as the background music LOL. if no one can see it, i'll try to get rid of the music)

its all true, we just have to wait till May to officially talk about it. The rear der is a work of art, especially if you hate how big and bulky T-Type is.

You can say your buddy works at Propain it's okay.

Bumping this spicy rumor. Hoping more gossip to be teased about it.

This, i just spent 3 days on mine, they are considerably better than any shimano offerings in the 'ride feel' category IMO. I hated Shimano SPD's because of the freeplay they have before 'float' kicked in. The only Thing I've found is how tight full loose is - kinda wish Oneup had gone slightly less tension as full tight is Knee/ankle killing tight. I Normally run Mallet E LS's and they are perfect tension for me.

I know you asked for help choosing between A or B, but have you tried C, D, E, F, G, H, or I? I haven't ridden A or B but I came here to say you should really think about C, D, E, F, G, H, or I.

A bit of shameless promotion, but hopefully it's relevant. I just put out a podcast episode where me and Alan Milway chat through all the 2025 team moves (confirmed and rumoured). Hopefully it's an interesting watch/listen. https://youtu.be/Mu0JAhGceB8 or https://www.downtimepodcast.com/team-moves-2025/ Clearly this forum gets a mention! Thanks to everyone here who keeps the rumour fire burning, I personally love it!

whats the tldr?

I always considered this a "heard it on the bush telegraph" thread rather than a "make some shit up for my own entertainment" thread.

@Spomer, can we please deviate the toe-clip topic to another thread, and make it in a slightly bigger default font?

Can we give up on the Gwin going anywhere but riding a Crestline this year? The guy literally owns the company (or a part of it at least) why would he be out there promoting other brands in the same market segment as his own company.

8 rider is what I’ve heard, two kiwis and judging by Tuhoto riding a Zerode currently I would expect him to stay. I think Oli Clark will be on the roster too

Sooo how about those team rumors?

To be held on our "West Island" I think. 🤣

Just a minute… would that mean, if they used your described configuration, AND won an elite WC, that Gates would give them… TWO hundred thousand dollars?!?

I guess Athertons using this also for ebike development more so than DH bike sales
