I mean, if they make World Cup tracks more like motocross tracks, maybe there’ll be less skin suits? Oh wait…

It's nuts how close the men's elite standings are right now considering that Jackson won four of the first five and two thirds of the races so far. After Loic won in Andorra, it's only 150 or so points separating him and Jackson, which is less than the points for one win.

I've been fretting over stuffing a Frankenstein'd wheel with 150mm spacing into a standard boost frame for the past week. Between having a bright, trustworthy industry individual tell me not to sweat +/-1(or 2) mm at the axle, and reading your comments, I feel not so worried 🤣🤣🤣

Weirdest thing about it? Wheel goes in there like it’s a perfect fit. Previous and current generation Sight FWIW. And for the record, he doesn’t tell people to do this.

I actually didn’t know they were progressive. This explains a lot though. I had an SLS Fox for a little bit and thought the bike was sluggish in certain situations. I preferred the Sprindex.

Only mad dogs and Englishmen would tear apart a perfectly good rear wheel to re-use only the rim.

Here’s an interesting factoid/hot take. A very proficient mechanic friend of mine runs Superboost hubs on all his standard boost bikes. Specifically Norcos. The wheel just pops right in there. I would never do this, and I constantly raise an eyebrow at his set up. He’s been doing it for years and hasn’t noticed any ill side effects. Every drivetrain...

I can assure you that if the TV cameras for an NFL playoff game went down, and TV viewers could only see 80% of the field, they would suspend the game. And this is why there's major redundancy in big-time pro sports to ensure TV coverage doesn't stop.

I think the teams on the ground there at the event are the barometer of if this was an issue. I've only listened to the Downtime post show and Andora pre-show and is seems none of them (Neko, Kilmurray, and Oli) think it was an issue. Troy didn't mention it in his race vlog on Youtube. Are any teams up in arms about the delay affecting the outcome and just aren't sharing it publicly?

You need to give The Downtime Andora pre shoe a listen. https://www.downtimepodcast.com/ Chris Kilmurray first calls out your flat earth theory then explained why the hold was the time it was.
