We'll see as the weather can change quite quickly, but it's looking pretty good for now: 
I hope it will stay like this for the finals, or at least as it has been said, I hope everyone will get the same conditions ! I can't wait to attend this opening round !!!

Lol, a lot of southern France is undergoing a drought and there are major worries they are going to have to implement water usage quotas... Meanwhile rain is forecast for literraly the few hours of the men's finals! I'm pretty optimistic it will be a dry race to be fair...

Doing my first "World cup and Waffles" brunch at home with a few friends for this one. Happy to be warm with waffles and a mimosa/coffee bar while they race in the possible rain/snow

Thanks so much for the opportunity to chat Spomer. I’m so sorry for all you have gone through as well and I appreciate you being willing to share. I hope that people are able to come away from this with the understanding that we are all in the midst of such a complex situation and at the end of the day we should try to treat each other with compassion and understanding. Many of us have different life, political, and religious beliefs and that’s one of the things that makes the world so special. As long as we are able...

Few things... Conti tyre release date: April 8th - Very little stock being spread world wide to begin with, major stock rolling in October/November New trek E-Bike: Lightweight trailbike spec, basically a Specialized Levo SL. Rolling out in a few months, no solid date as of now New Pinion "AXS": Currently in development with real world testing expected to take place from July. Benefits from this is that you'll be able to change gears without having to stop pedalling. Zerode DH Bike: Zerode are currently making a new DH bike, expecting it to come out in time for next season.

Hey Neko Mulally, it would be awesome if you could do a video about this phenomenon, because it's obviously a parameter you considered during your design and testing, and I think it's pretty widely misunderstood or mysterious. What's the relationship between chain growth, O-Chain, and "pedal kickback" rates that would appear on a graph?. I haven't ridden O-chain myself, but I'm super curious what exactly you're feeling in the suspension- Are you feeling it in your feet, or are you feeling general harshness at the rear wheel, or is it just a generalized sense that all is not at peace...

3/21/2022 8:12pm Based on my observation, the biggest influences on stanchion wear have been skipping regular service and dropping your bike on rocks. Loading your bike into the car in a hurry is a good one, too. Stanchion color is pretty low on that list.

I don't think an Idler would have helped those felt frames from nearly blowing apart at every pivot. Commencal certainly seems to have made it work on the race course, although im interested to see if we end up with a V5.2 in a season after this one hits the market like we did with the V4.

A lot of moto companies use kashima but they will also coat the entire shock bodies. DLC is big as well in the industry and I haven't seen any comparison between the 2. I think the original black coating proto on boxers 35 were DLC but they said it wasn't worth the cost. I always heard kashima started on cookware.

Why is the seatstay bridge removable/bolt-on? Tuning flex with different bridges (as if I'm good enough to feel the difference)? Or simply to help with brake line install/swap? She's got stunning looks for sure.

Formula has foam spacers, so they compress with rising air pressure in the chamber and give some more linearity - with added plastic volume spacers, you ramp up the spring very quickly, this takes some of that ramp out. As for the decoupler, they have a floating-ish piston, which means they lessen the piston bind when the fork flexes. What the buttercups do is different, they take away the chatter that isn't covered by the spring in the fork (due to stiction and the like). So the same as a rubber top mount in a car (with flexible rubber bushings...

https://wheelbased.com/2021/12/29/bicycle-suspension-components-by-sram… Anyone looked at this? I hadn't checked wheelbased in a while, but it looks like the patent document linked in the article shows the new charger damper. Items 347 and 346 are related to an IFP of sorts which would be a major departure from the current charger dampers. The patent might just be related to the buttercups, but the knobs seem to look like the new ones we've seen.
