I think I speak for the whole Vital community when I say this is the Interbike announcement we've been waiting for all week.

9/21/2017 11:01am "Does the New UCI President Really Care About MTB?" Clearly not, and why would they? As rad as downhill is, it's a tiny fraction of road. More than a billion people watched Le Tour alone last year. If FIFA also ran the downhill World Cup on the side, how much would they care? None. None caring.

I think it's a good thing... Transition is also making their new bikes stronger/heavier. People are riding trail bikes harder because the geometry and suspension is allowing it.

The post-race photo of the Hannah siblings is one of the great downhill race pics of all time. It will get better with age, like Lemond after the '85 Paris Roubaix.

Was scratching my head about that number as well. Maybe they meant 46mm?

WT is 100% fine on normal rims. Looks almost identical when mounted up side by side with a 2.5" downhill DHF.

Gwin was also running the harder dual compound up front over the super soft 40a Aquila. I think that sort of compound is useful on super slick flat surfaces like slab rock and roots, but I would guess is damn squirmy on hardpack and under big g-forces.

It's a mini shock, not a full 3 incher. Would be equivalent to a 425 on a 3 inch stroke.

https://mpora.com/videos/I0U06SK0Z#Lx7bhk4YgeDqkSIJ.97 Minnaar won this one, Gwin in third. Looked pretty wet there. Also Maribor that year was a pisser and Minnaar took the win. I think both those boys do just fine when it rains.

Based on the speeds they're going- or not going- it must really, really, really slippery and rough. Looks hard.

8/23/2017 7:26pm The fact that he even brought the bike means he's head tripping. He'll race the little wheels. Confidence is your equipment is more important than the actual performance of said equipment.

I spent a year on Enve wheels, and broke a bunch of them, but what surprised me most was how bad the wheels handled. When I put them on, yes, I immediately noticed they were stiffer and more confidence inspiring in high g-force berms, but I thought the wheels handled like dogshit on flat or bumpy turns. They were too stiff, and they bounced around a lot in anything less than a locked-in mega berm. I didn't fully realize this until I broke another rear wheel and went BACK to aluminum, and it was like night and day on flat...
