I stripped a lockring during the industry's COVID hangover and none of the bike stores near me had spares. "You too, huh?" they all asked me. Awful design. At least I now know how easy it is to do so I won't do it again.

Microspine drivers are a blight against humanity and should die in a fire along with the stupid plastic spacer they require to prevent Shimano cassettes from creaking like a haunted house. The only thing that might be worse than the microspine interface and its woefully anemic, made of cheese, lock ring might be the actual cassettes themselves which in the year of our lord 2026 still are half singe piece pinned garbage that falls apart and half stamped metal plates with spacers. Seriously, 12 speed shimano stuff is the most disappointing experience I've ever had with a drivetrain. I hate...

I would hesitate to call the XD driver good, it works just fine and allowed for the 10 tooth cog but in all honesty, my experience with microspline has been far better. Feels more secure, and I like having the engagement along nearly the entire cassette rather than just at the end, and not having the cassette have to be completely one piece or riveted together is not a problem. Sram has killed it in bringing new product to market quickly, in being the one stop shop for OEM, and their marketing is definitely working, but I won't say that...

I really loved littermag. Can anyone explain the vital connection and when clappin yo dome II will be released?

If they're going to have a remote studio in the UK (which sucks) that at least means they could get Brits to commentate for way cheaper than having to fly them out to a race. Rob Warner, Rachel Atherton, Gee Atherton, Brendan Fairclough, Ratboy are all right there. They all either have way more commentating skill, have raced more recently than 1200 BC, or both. Ric wasn't that bad, but was definitely not "good", and whoever the new guy is was atrocious. He just repeated what Ric said, and said "when I was racing when the wheel was first invented"...

Lawlor comes through with the first episode of The Weekend 2026, following Luca Shaw, Matt Walker and Remi Thirion this round.

I knew it! What a shitty decision. Gotta believe this, as a brand new venue in Asia would’ve been one of the ones to DEFINITELY have boots on the ground. I’m doubly disappointed. Not only on the noticeable drop in quality it brought, but that they were shady with it. Spin it as some sort of pro move, that you’re holding it down in Digital Mountain Bike Studio Four or whatever. Or just say it. I could hear MBeaumont struggling with the location charade but RicMc was saying “here in Korea” …and they only had what?—three people there as mans...

The commentators should know if a feature like a big jump is closed of for safety reasons. As the jump was closed of a day earlier. There is a lack of present representation in the commentators boot.

possibly the worst commentating performance in live tv lol. Dead fish have more personality.

The racing deserved so much better.

Since Ronan is currently injured why not invite him to commentate using his ratboy impression. Hell invite ratboy too. Nobody would understand much but it would still be an improvement.

I’ve been on the “give them time to figure it out” train regarding the broadcast commentary but last nights race was painful. We’re 3 seasons in so there’s really no excuse. Having Neko in the booth was a band aid solution at best. I can’t help but wonder why they haven’t addressed this? Does nobody want the job? I know this is a long shot but imagine having wyn and ed masters in the booth who know the riders personally and have both charisma and race experience.

Top 5 Elite women in the standings after Korea: Höll - 216 points Scarsi - 190 Harnden - 175 Nicole - 165 Roa Sanchez - 150 Top 5 Elite men: Vermette - 250 Bruni - 180 Pierron - 180 Vergier - 150 Pontvianne - 132 Top 5 teams: Commençal Riding Addiction -120 Commençal Schwalbe - 87 Frameworks - 57 M-S Racing - 55 Canyon DH - 53 Notes: Privateer Antoine Rogge is 18th in points. He also finished 18th in Q1 as well as in the Final. Kind of amazing how that works. (I've always rooted for him since he...
