He’s for sure trolling us. Either A: he grabbed a frame from Gwin to mess with everyone by making that post or B: maybe the G man is gonna sponsor Frida

If Dak goes to Scott, they better make him one of those stupid integrated stem / bar combos with 75 mm rise. And then run the brake cables through it just to stay on message.

Anyone see the Crestline in the background of Daks story?

@DontWorryImAPilot thanks for the idea. We found Daks new kit and teammates.

" Today we are here to talk about Dak food streams for 2026. Dak is going to be frying for Fruitworks Raisins with New Muesli . A true American cream team that is almost too good to be true ..."

Copilot is just a dressed up Clippy

After some zoom-ins, some squints, and sending to my friends at Law & Order SVU for some "enhance" action: It looks like Dak will be racing the Trans Robitussin race next year on MS Beef Tallow Tombraider. I think they were riding Crestlines in 2025. AI is SO cool.

Now it all makes sense!

Agreed

Definitely Jess with the long hair. Looks like her and Ethan Craik are testing at the same location from their Insta stories.

This is the kind of sleuthing the thread has been lacking for a while.

God I love you nerds...

And then they can make UDH3, which is the same as UDH1 but uses a slightly different thread pitch for no reason.

If I remember correctly they talked about it in the email sent a month or so ago with timeline details for the next round of frames. I'll have to go dig and look it up, I could be remembering incorrectly though... Edit: SM and XL sizes. They said that more details will be announced before the bikes are ready. DH in feb, enduro in March. Thinking about getting one this round, wanted the enduro but timing didn't work out and ended up with a Madonna instead, super happy with that one, not sure if I want to snag a Yalla...

I polished the seat clamp, axle, brake hose ends, and crank arms on my first Ripmo. I used a bench grinder with a well worn stainless steel wire brush wheel to mechanically strip the black ano from the parts. Time over pressure. Deep scratches greatly increase polishing effort. Built shine from there with varying grades of both scotch brite and polishing compound. The better your final finish, the less maintenance required to maintain. No clear coating required. Still running all of these parts on a Ripmo V2 and they’ve held up well.

Because its fucking cool looking
