So gutted for you Marcelo. That is such a gnarly way to end an epic adventure. In all those years racing DH was this the worst crash/injury you had?

Melamed is doing laps with Troy Boy! Might be the first Enduro race Brosnan has ever done? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBF8FyQQN_4&ab_channel=JesseMelamed

3/24/2023 1:32pm Lotsa changes. Wonder if Jack Moir will settle into the year and revert back to a more historically normal bike setup for him, or if he's planning on running the super mega enduro downhill bike for the rest of the season. Especially odd because it seems like a lot of riders are underbiking for Maydena vs. a lot of the...

The pictures of spool valves do look like they are erosion wire cut, so yeah, jolly expensive. Thanks for this info though, it's a good insight into things.

My best guess would be that rather than having a different controller for the dropper and shifter, they are using identical controllers that are interchangeable and mountable on either side of the Handlebar. That way they only have to manufacture 1 controller. I also heard rumors that they are going to make the 2nd button on the dropper controller able to control the modes of Flight Attendant without taking your hands off the bars.

Instead, the brakes seem to be routed through the handlebar. Worse?

Seeing the Avid levers brings back not so fond memories of siezed up lobster claw hands trying to survive silver mountain top to bottom runs because I couldn't afford Saints back in college.

I can’t be the only dork on here that sees this, and wonders when we’re getting dropper posts that drop without sitting on them…?

They were all allowed to pick their own components. Kasper is running Shimano brakes for instance.

https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/yt-mob-takes-enduro-uncaged… If you throw in Kasper Woolley (who is injured), all 3 riders on the same team are running different brakes and so far I've seen Schwalbe, Maxxis and Continental tires on their bikes. Seems kind of strange for a "factory" team to have that many different components, probably makes keeping spares a pain.

3/23/2023 6:38pm I'm just a guy, but how can you tell there's a spool valve inside a shock from a drawing of the outside of said shock? All I could tell is it uses a coil spring and has knobs on it.

Looks like Sour just leaked new Ohlins. Funny timing as I was looking into a bunch of Ohlins stuff just last night and went down a rabbit hole. My speculation is that this is the new shock Bruni has been hiding under the cover the last couple years. It's a change to a spool valve like their new moto Flow shock and they happen to have released an electronically controlled spool valve on a Yamaha moto in the last year.

Looks like the sensible way round. Battery + tyre + mud isn't my favourite.
