3/4/2025 1:51pm It doesn’t even look like this is digitized, the buyer needs to print the form and hand write their choices in and then the shop will need to transcribe the order… too many variables and chances for entry errors in my opinion. I may be wrong but I didn’t see a list of said components to choose from. Maybe it’s...

I would think a little bit but results still matter. Teams keep the rider points for the following season but then they lose those points for future seasons as well. If your a top 20 rider and looking to move on from team A to team B, team b isn’t going to view you as rider with 0 points but the potential to bring x number of points to the team.

1/22/2025 1:39pm It’s a little more common on the road and cyclocross side of things. At least in the case of Thibau he’s on the same frame brand so it’s a relatively easy transition. Mondraker’s XC bike is the Podium RR a pretty standard looking top tube… Orbea Oiz?

4/19/2024 6:56am Any Canadians thinking of subscribing to Flobikes for WC... know that the funds are in fact in USD and not CAD as reported on PB. On the sign up page there is absolutely no indication of currency. Works out to roughly $230 CAD annually.

I appreciate the riders being will to stand up for what they believe in. The big question I see here is simply "what is a slopestyle rider worth on the competitive stage?" Frankly, I don't know the answer to that question. To add, I scratch my head a little bit to those saying "Red Bull makes a lot off these events". How? I honestly haven't done a deep dive, but I also don't a huge moneymaker for Red Bull on a generic slope event. Rampage is the exception, not the rule. Crankworks Whistler the other exception. From my perspective, the...

3/14/2024 2:08pm I think Flosports is just the license holder in Canada and has nothing to do with the broadcast and production of the races etc... so we are either getting the Eurosports feed or the world feed for that event. That said for the price of $150USD, plus Visa transaction fees and the exchange rate it's over $200/ annually. Putting it...

1/24/2024 7:35am All this talk of title sponsors... what happened with Mercedes? They were the title sponsor for the Mtb world cups starting in 2018, I don't recall reading if that ended, or when. I do not see their logo present these days. Derailed by COVID maybe?

In my experience, suspension is wildly complicated. Often times the correct response to a problem is the opposite of your first instinct. Sometimes if your suspension feels harsh, the correct response is adding compression. Other times, if a shock feels harsh, it means your fork is too soft. Other times it's your shock's rebound or spring rate. And sometimes it's bar height or tire pressure. A lot of variables, local maximums, and statistical noise.

12/14/2023 1:36pm Well we're just racking up the positives! they have added english commentary with J-Pow (seemingly moving over from GCN+ as well). Pre and Post race interviews are still in Flemish Dutch... UCI World Cups are still the Eurosport feed (i think) and in english.
