The industry is hurting hard. He has traded in the Porsche and invested in the adhesive tape game

Loic posted this on his insta. Is he moving to Sellotape, 3M, Gorilla tape? Wild!

Probably still just using his old bikes, he and forbidden have already confirmed they’re parting ways.

Only one brake rotor visible in bulldogs bike build post on Instagram, potential switch to unicycle team? What NZ based unicycle brands are there?

Brook trolling with that chain?

If its raw power and ability to service have you thought about hope v4s ? They got crazy power . I got some dominions on my new bike, after going from hope to them i struggled with the lack of power and how ugly they are. They are however excellent brakes but they do fade on long runs tho. Riding forrest tech i would take the dominions but on big uplift days when you're out of your comfort zone, maybe dragging your brakes abit, you cant beat the bang of a Hope.

Cast went live now with their lineup of stems and handlebars. Strong list of riders on their rooster, but probably the least innovative new mtb company i`ve seen. Anyone up for a "38mm!!! high rise" handlebar? Read all about it: https://castmtb.com/

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!

re: link checker - loris embargo was for today. b/c someone leaked the unlisted video 4 days ago, the news was blown and they made it private. the video being public today isn't "old news" really, it's just official.

Isn't the general consensus that a lower viscosity for mineral oil brakes makes them feel better? Interesting though, for the racing fluid it says not to mix it with polyglycol fluids, if I understand it correctly that's off the shelf DOT4 and DOT5.1?

New Fox Float X2.

Just a minor blip on the path to Crab bike dominance...

The new Leicester winning the prem is Forest winning the prem lol. Btw, COYR!
