TLDR... he should have thought twice about taking that sweet sweet PE money (and the corresponding growth targets that came with it) and when he came back as CEO in early 2024, he should have made some hard choices sooner. And he sold some cars. Jeff and the gang nailed a lot of this. Hope you guys do a follow up pod!

My current fox38 is way better than my Girvin flexstem so I'm pretty content......

Moir's end-of-season update

I'm not sure what's difficult to understand. If you watch the videos and footage leading up to the race, the vibe is so much different that a WC dh race. Everyone is doing the track walk together and sessioning features together and towing each other into stuff rather than doing things based on "teams". There is much more camaraderie. Obviously, there are riders whose goal is to win, but there are other riders whose goal is to clear the track. Personally, I don't think having someone like Matt Jones coming in last, but flipping the last jump takes away from...

Jack Moir confirms he’s off YY and still looking for a new team.

YT Yuge Theft

The new Loam Gen 2 from PNW that we just reviewed uses a 26mm stanchion for the 30.9/31.6, and a 29mm stanchion for the 34.9.

New logo and font looks like trash. The old Ohlins branding is iconic and timeless. Whoever greenlit this redesign should be fired.

100% agree. World Cup = the absolute best, where "everyone " can win each race. I also believe that a more formalized feeder system should be created, with a clear path to enter WC races with a wild card system, so the young and promising can show their speed.

The only thing that matters is the customers get their bikes/refunds. YT as a company can head to the history books as far as I'm concerned. Markus and his Money Mates will have caused so many employees/racers/customers so much stress, I think they are the ones that need to dissapear in to oblivion with YT.

Jesus, the wear on it already. I've said this to some friends: if I had free tires, I'd run MG all the time. But they just disintegrate in the rear. It lasts ok up front but still less than others. Are they at least offering them in DD/MT at launch? I heard they're not even selling them in 27.5, so targeting more of a trail crowd than enduro/freeride.

so we have another section with a green pole in the middle of the track that should technically close off the A line.

a little on the nose with the team name…

The best experience is no Warranty experience.... 100%. Im a firm believer Bike QC is terrible and us as a community MUST do better to reject these bikes - I pointed out to 3 guys at skyline QT their bikes were bad and they had no idea. My 4 canyons, all had multiple frame replacements... they just kept throwing frames at me to get 'lucky' wtf is that. My current one is that the bike was built with a part from one of their other bikes, quickly identified and replaced overnight(overnight shipping)
