pinion is electric by now, you press buttons.

FWIW regarding upcoming gearbox ebikes and trickledown to classic bikes, it's a big no. The way these gearbox concepts from Avinox and Gobao work requires an electric motor, so it's a no go for a non electric bicycle. As for shifters, Pinion has electric shifting via triggers and Effigear always supported trigger shifting, but brings it's own problems in regards to shifting with it. Regardless if the benefits it's quite likely the current crop of gearboxes would indeed be a no go for the average rider based on the limitations they bring with them.

Will second that, but it's going to be called the Team DH, not the Arum.

I don't think most people articulate why they dismiss gearboxes very well, or at all haha. For me, I'm not too interested in them for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I don't have the issues with derailleurs that others seem to have, I don't smash them or snag them on rocks, and I race DH and enduro in Utah and Colorado so there are plenty of opportunities for me to do so. Secondly, I like mechanical drivetrains and don't like grip shifts. Unless I have missed something, all mechanical Gear boxes have to use a grip shift to pull cables...

May have been brought up before, but heard Norco Aurum release planned for Whistler World Cup weekend.

Finn took his second win of the year at Lenz, but his third win of his career. I know I’m in the minority, but I’d totally watch the top 60 race

"a raw track will separate the riders." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can I get a Genie Float X with the piggybag aftermarket? Or is this not for sale, just OEM?

Have you tried running recommended pressure with 2 spacers? I wonder if that would give you the support you want without introducing harshness. I have found that 2 spacers is my max to maintain the comfort/plushness I prefer. I generally run no spacers, stock eyelet volume spacer, and 16mm sag (30%). This is the best for pure DH performance. It keeps the bike calmer and tracking better. The downside is it can be a less responsive and feeling slow on flatter, pump-heavy trails. I also have Genie Float X with LSC, and cranking that closed does help add some support.

I like the rider number change. Wonder what the story is with Anna’s 14? Also love how different the spech looks with the cranks off.

Since Canyon became Canyon DH Team, it looks like Commencal Muc-off Downhill Mountain Bike Pro Team Opperated by Riding Addiction wants to be the team with the longest name.

Gwin flatted. You get Bode but we get Bodhi.

Another top day for USDH! Asa, Pinky, Luca, and Dakotah (one of the Bodhis?) all in finals! Looks great! Can we count Frida as American?! What happened to Anna and AG?

Raced with. Not for. Can't remember the exact details, but want to say Mikey & family had some skin in the game as far as the Crestline team.

This fantasy gonna be a bloodbath. Lotta unusual names up around the top. Total crap shoot. I mean that in the best way possible. Went for a solid spin this morning, came back to clips of absolute savagery and mayhem all over social media. Riders flying through the air, sans bike lol

It would have been nice to see Aaron make it to finals since Mikey raced for him last year and they're now teammates at Frameworks. Fantastic work by Mikey today, with a time that would have been top 5 in Q1. He was actually doing well in Q1 and then had a slow 3rd sector.

no one in q2 was faster than jordan. jordan had a 3:30. q2 was 3:31
