All

I'm intrigued, how many concentric BB's have you had, and what about them has sucked? I've been testing this design for about two years with no problem, but I'm eager to learn if there's something I should be looking out for.

Why can't I upvote this more than once! I agree to this point on all levels and beyond!

Do stop trying to come up with fancy ways of saying bike. Its bike and ebike. We don’t need anything more. Not “acoustic”. Not “analog” (or analogue). Not “pedal only”. Inventing new ways of saying bike just makes us all look like cretins. Surely you don’t think that anyone is that stupid that they don’t understand the difference.

more brands have been going back to a simple suspension pivot and through all the testing and racing enduro the Non-hp are faster...(minus dh as the bikes are so different) the downvotes on my comment are clearly the sheep of the HP squad

Does anyone have an idea of when Continental is going to release its new range of tyres? Seems like the Atherton Continental team has been running the prototypes for a while now.

It is the constant motion of the chain, reducing chain slap - which is the biggest contributor to pedal kickback at speed.

As a life-long wood feature hater I am against this both on a principled basis and on a case specific basis, haha. Wood features are bad generally, and this wood feature looks especially bad. This is a WC downhill track, not a slopestyle course, and this feature looks downright dangerous at WC DH speeds (arm chair expert rant over). On a more positive note, quading this would be insane to see.

Didn't we already go through this before with Rampage? Not sure who is asking for wood features on World Cup tracks but I'd be just as happy with a huge dirt double. Or maybe some whoops...

That is called a motorcycle

Hey Guys, another update. Austin was one of the first people I called after getting hurt. We're buddies and talk/ride together fairly regularly. I let him know what was up and wanted to confirm that he was staying in Europe for the next month like I thought he was. He's racing Maribor this weekend and isn't planning on coming back home until after the WC in Switzerland next month either way. That was good news as he's easily ready to go if I pull out. I also contacted USAC to make sure they get him everything he needs to compete...

Electronic block for RS shock:

Apologies for the political banter. Not psyched to see Gwin perpetually lit up just because he believes something that might go against the "norm" in bike culture. Back to the topic at hand, I think this outcome is the right outcome, despite how much of a gut punch it has to be to Austin. His time is coming, clearly. (and I hope he kills it in Maribor!) Sure would love to see Gwin pull something special out come race day in Italy this year.

Hey guys, just wanted to jump on here and say thank you to all who is supporting me throughout this situation! It means a lot to have you guys backing me through it. It was a tough pill to swallow forsure but I know everything will work out in the end. Excited to get on track this weekend in Maribor!
