I thought that was only Ontario drivers who did that and forced us Queber’s to drive like “maniacs” while passing them on the inside while they drive at 95km/h stuck in the fast lane!

For Hope, do people realize they have open source tools to help you with the bleed process and alignment? https://www.hopetech.com/open-source-tools/ Someone I saw on the local hill this week mentioned that Hope is supposedly coming out with a Tech 5 lever to appease the people who don’t like their brakes because of the need to roll the membrane when closing...

What did the riders end up doing for the podium? Was it the same for all disciplines or just the established riders who did something?

As for WR1, I hope they are doing ok. Their customer service has been amazing and their products are just as good. They sent out an email saying they would cover the US customers tariffs for them. I think partnering with P321 just allows them to keep their overhead lower. The hubs are top notch and it isn’t the first...

I’m in the market for new armor. I’ve been using AlpineStars for years. It only comes with a back plate. What I enjoyed about it was the ability to put a water bladder in it. Are there any other companies that make torso protection with the ability to carry a water bladder and small side pockets for a phone and...

I’m currently using blue cross for travel insurance. It’s covered me for multiple trips and sports. I used to play rugby and as long as I wasn’t being paid to play, I was covered. They said the same for bike racing. If I’m ameuter, all was good.

From what I have seen/heard, you will need to source a used one unless you get lucky and find a shop that has one hidden.

From someone I know who deals with Specialized in Montreal quite regularly, they are still open. They may have downsized a little but it’s still business as usual

What will teams/riders do next season if the bounty is won? Will they continue to use gearboxes or return to traditional gears?

Cam, Thanks for joining the fun! I am planning to try shorter cranks next season (hopping on the bandwagon). If I go from 170mm to 155mm and get the Pendulum pedals, would that not put my foot back within 3mm of were it was or am I totally not understanding the pedal’s foot position?

First thing I thought of was Stirrups, especially coming from Cowtown. They look quite cool. Wonder how they would hold up for the heavyweights?

Don’t most things need so amount of flex built into it? I would assume (yes, I know what happens when you assume), that is things were built not to flex, very heavy and surprise, surprise, very stiff and uncomfortable. There is an old photo of a rampage rider landing a massive drop and his aluminum bar flexed so much people...
