First round of the ewsdr or whatever they are callling it this year next weekend and the course map has been released. Around 100km and 3100m of climbing over 2 days so looks like they are going back to bigger days out again.

Tech Rumors and Innovation For rumors of tech. No one cares what chain stays you prefer take it somewhere else.

Came here to see some new tech news but all i got was a bunch of opinons about chainstay length no one really cares about.

I feel like this is also very worth to mention. The new crankset comes in a bunch of different lengths, and is very reasonably priced. Instead of buying some aftermarket €500-1000 crankset, here you get both a chainring and a crankset with built in bash guards for sub €200 euros. Might even be good for people or shops to buy, and just let people run them as test cranks in the shorter lengths. https://r2-bike.com/SRAM-Eagle-90-Transmission-DUB-Crankset-55-mm-Chain… Edit: Forgot to even check, the Eagle 70 crankset is just about €100, available in the same lengths, with a chainring. Seems like actually a VERY...

The guys at Onlymotion are close to selling their wireless electronics kit. Pretty amazing that they have managed to pack all this into such a small volume. Also, I truly appreciate that you can charge it without removing the dropper, in contrast to certain mtbr comments. As long as you utilize this conversion kit with any of your mechanical droppers that fit it, you just need to put the included USB-C into the frame once. 10min for 2000 actuations and no proprietary charger sounds good to me. Might be difficult to fit the right insertion on some frames with the...

It looks just as terrible as the Fox Version, Why do we need such a big 'wart' Looking thing halfway up the seat tube..... I want a wireless dropper but i dont want either of those 2 ugly things, especially because i want 240mm drop and the ability to slam the post.... Im happy to pay those prices when a brand can actually design one that doesnt look terrible.

Szymon looking pretty comfy out there already!

is he relevant?

Hi, I´m guiding for Finale Freeride, surprise, surprise.. I recommend a guided Tour for the first day.(It´s "Full-Day", but maybe you can arrange it) The "Classic Tour" should give you an impression, what the range of trails is, you may expect. For the other day, you should book single lifts and combine long descents with them. They pick you up on several places.. just ask the office! So you can have up to 4-5 Trails with two lifts. What I can recommend the most... try to take more time! It´s one of the best areas in the world, and over...

You've never seen this course in person. You also haven't seen the footage of Dave landing in the creek and spending the next 3 months in hospital down in Hobart before he can be flown home (I have). The idea that we should give less practice time so its harder is psychotic. One wrong line and its goodnight, season over. The team were quite close to getting some of the frenchies down this year, some accepted initially but then declined after, were not going to get them down here by making it even more dangerous for no reason. The spectacle...

Practice is on, and Dan Booker is already showing off the local lines 😵

Camden Rutherford to intense factory racing. Pivot dropped the ball so hard losing this kid, jackson goldstone jr.

I see your gearbox/belt/chain talk and raise you an enclosed primary chain with secondary "standard" drivetrain! This is cool: https://www.zoceli.cz/en/vysoko

A little bit of contrast and image levelling and it’s super clear. Yeti nailed down.

its all true, we just have to wait till May to officially talk about it. The rear der is a work of art, especially if you hate how big and bulky T-Type is.

its all ready, along with a new 34 and 36 chassis and air spring. Maybe they will even show the new inverted prototype DH fork at sea otter too.

SH: "...It’s actually been super disappointing that many long-time sponsors that I have stayed loyal to throughout my career can’t even make an effort to reply to emails or messages." Damn, choosing to not pick up the phone/email when SH calls is a choice for sure. He's not on top of the game anymore but at least pitch him some gear ffs.

I watched crankworks only to see blenki riding 😁
