FMD / Atherton. Tahnee and Kolb. Would make for a strong podium threat team at every race.

tell me you are american without telling me you are american

Frameworks Enduro rig is officially official and open to the public. Death knell of the X2? They didn't even try to sell it with one and just went straight float x or vivid.

I have had a zeb since release as I bought a zeb ultimate back in 2019 when they hit the market and got the first one my LBS got. That fork served me well over the years and saw many mods, vorsprung secus, then a smashpot, a hc97 push charger damper and ultimately a modified charger 2.1 (home brew shim stack nonsense). At any rate, getting to the point. That fork developed a CSU creak, and it was obvious to me I was better off buying a 23' MY zeb select and moving over the internals to that chassis. I...

awesome!

Prize for round 2 was just delivered! Thanks Vital 🤩

I hear everyone's points RE "dating and the broadcast". That said, its Sunday so you can watch (American) football pretty much the rest of the day in the US of A. It wouldn't be that out of the ordinary for the broadcast to briefly cut to a shot of the QB's wife/gf etc, especially if she's well known. Do I want to see this? No. It does nothing for me. I could care less. But I don't think "classless" is the right adjective. I'd go with "cringe".

They're our Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Downhill has finally made the mainstream!! Yay!!

Id bet Finn could get more money from someone else as they know it would take a big number to pull him away from Specialized, but I bet Finn knows that Specialized is the bike and team a lot of riders are lusting after with the prototypes and seemingly never ending improvement and resources. I really think there is something to the nationalities jiving well together, Finn has made it work with the majority French team but it took a while. Loris seemingly wants to be on a French run team with French riders. I know Dak struggled a bit...

Are they? I was getting that vibe, but wasn't sure if I was reading into things. Not really any of my (or anyone else's) business, hope they are happy.

They are dating.

Guys: - Loris to commencal - Finn stays in Specialized - Coulanges to Norco - FMD racing to YT

-Loris wants F1 so he can feel like he's getting what Loic is getting. Commencal could do that for him. -Loris/Trek has been sour for a while. Loris' 2025 contract likely signed months ago. Not sure there is actually this World Champs clause people are talking about. Reece was likely out of a job or had a small contract offer. Then won worlds, so they coughed up cash to keep him. -If Finn goes to Norco (possible for a lot of reasons), that would open salary at Specialized--might sign someone like Erice Vanluven (sp) to get a super fast woman...

I heard some interactions with FMD though ; )

Since no one asked me: Top 60 get in. Televise the top 30. Have the camera crew shoot the whole race and give us the race runs of the hot seat when the broadcast starts. Wyn's content is amazing. Hell I watched his XC recap from last week.

So it took me way to long to stitch these together and export it properly, but I did this test with the tyre at 18psi and 26psi, the 18psi gave the best result. Using parts on hand like some springs around 11.8 N/mm, a 250g mass and a 600g(250+350) mass. (*edit using the 2 opposing springs halves the rate so more like 6 N/mm) The wheel alone is about 1800g so total system about 2.4kg Tyre rates are roughly 35N/mm @ 18psi and 44N/mm at 26psi BUT they are slightly progressive in the first few mm plus I trimmed the...

Came here to ask the same thing. As a taller guy, I’m a big fan of the progressively steeper seat tube angle trend. At 6’2” I’ve always felt like I was climbing a recumbent on slacker designs. The taller the seat post goes, the farther back I would sit. I’ve been riding a current Norco Range for a few years now, and it’s more comfortable grinding up climbs than I’ve ever felt. A side effect is there’s more weight on my hands comparatively, but it’s an acceptable trade-off. I’ve seen an S5 Enduro a few times, and without even throwing...
