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.

1/25/2025 4:28pm One ride in they seem great. They do all the things they say they do and have a nice positive entry. Worth a shot if you're in the market for a clip pedal with a bit of platform. I'm pretty happy so far. Not as easy to unclip vs a mallet, but I'd expect them to wear in a bit...

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!

1/20/2025 8:50pm I think the big news is Downamics is the official UK agent for countershox. Oh and the brake setup is a carbon tube and a crf hose guide. I asked 😅

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

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?!?

1/9/2025 12:08pm The Atherton does look to have a high belt line which is interesting. Could be a normal idler bike or 1 belt and 1 chain. I would think that a small belt would be super inefficient, dunno I've not felt the belts they use.

Hi Ryan, Great job validating my work! It’s really cool to see the numbers backing up the theory. Ideally, we would have done the 3D modifications and FEA first, then created the frame or modifications to match. Unfortunately, that wasn’t an option as I didn’t have access to the 3D tools or enough time. The first modification was done at Val di Sole. The track was super wet and rooty, and extra frame compliance and grip were needed—that’s when the hacksaw came out 😂. However, as you mentioned, modifying the link without simultaneously addressing the seat stay bridge meant the...

Danny Hart's GT Fury caught a lot of attention this past World Cup season as it had some notable structural frame modifications to increase compliance. Dale, Danny's mechanic, is a veteran frame engineer and had some great ideas on how to fine tune Danny's bike to work best for his style and to eke out the literal hundreths of a second needed to win races. If you haven't seen these mods, check out this quick section of Vital's PIT BITS video here. Let's dig into each modification. This will be extra fun because I was fortunate enough to be the...
