So your friend just jams in a hub that is 9mm wider than the chainstays are designed for? What shop does he work at? Just so I can make sure I never go there.

20 minutes was too much, the proto was finished 10 minutes before being ridden.

Wild looking 32" BMC spotted making laps on the Andorra XC track for testing. Note the crazy add-on dropouts to make a 29er fork work and the custom mega-drop stem that mounts above and below the head tube, similar to drawings we've seen in this tech forum. The bike is being test ridden by BMC rider Titouan Carod, who won't be racing it this weekend, but is helping BMC test it on an actual World Cup XC track at World Cup pace (photos and factoids courtesy of the other sight). I'm posting this photo to say "I told you so"...

Every single frame can have a different layup and thus a custom stiffness tune coming out of either of those molds. The molds are expensive so having two to cover 12 SKUs is very good thinking and in no way does it pigeonhole you into something you don't want stiffness wise. @TEAMROBOT thanks for sharing, those dropouts are amazing. Did anyone do something like that to make 29er forks back in the day?

Are we a good example for anything lol? Is it really that different in other european countries? Could be, would be good for the non-motorised MTB.

The idea of the variable path was what he was going for, but not the high and low speed shaft movements doing different of axle paths. It was called VST. I’ve talked to Frank about this and even asked him about making one for me. He said the axle path almost looked like a football shape, it would move backwards up and then forward and you can pump it railroad track and just generate speed. This is an old image and screen grab I found off of a forum from the early 2010s

In regards to the Junior stream, I’ll give discovery this: Keeping Josh Carlson out of the commentary booth makes the broadcast significantly better. Now do it for Elites Fuck a goolie.

Wouldn’t that be in the wrong place for an RSU fork… why would you want to release pressure from the main air chamber? Or am I missing something

"2. Closing a feature to a single group of contestants alone is wrong. Build a course that is rideable for everyone! Also junior woman." Can't get behind this take. The difference in ability between elite men and junior women is massive.They should instead make a more interesting B-line than just a wooden ramp to the side, should make it more enjoyable for the riders.
