Sure looks like a new biek from Atherton: https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFlDpFLqtO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Completely right! There are some new features in the latest AutoCAD Release, one of them is the "create cranks" feature. That's it, hit the "create cranks" button and you're done! Awesome! Unbelievable!

That's like saying a set of allen keys assembled my bike, instead of saying I assembled my bike.

SRAM did indeed make these cranks. If they didn't provide the desired parameters for the end product to meed into the generative design engine, they would not get that exact result.

Another spy shot of the new SRAM drivetrain from the Queenstown Bike Fest. The cranks and bash guard look pretty sweet.

A winning setup doesn't last forever...I made the choice that I thought would bring me success for many years to come. Canyon has a bigger commitment to racing and winning and I've always felt I wanted a little extra help to go even faster. I recorded a podcast with Downtime last week so that should be out soon and explain some more.

More news, this time from Nukeproof and Continental! https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/continental-nukeproof-facto…

jesse‘s on the new sram drivetrain, cranks look really different, kinda like those 5dev cranks but taped up for secrecy🤔

Can we table the "pick a brake fluid and be a dick about it" discussion and get back to tech rumors please?

Browsing the entries for Ft Bill British in May, Henry Kerr entered as Canyon Pirelli and Greg Williamson on Madison Saracen factory. Also hopefully Mr Hill isn't just there as a placeholder

Youve put more effort into that than I have done in my whole career.

This Pirelli / Trek racing thing seems to not make a whole lot of sense since Trek has Bontrager tires... Hoever, my theory as to how this has come about: -Think this move is more about money than quality of tires (what isn't). Pirelli may be throwing big money at the team (hundreds of thousands of dollars) to be their tire supplier. This will allow them to afford all the big rider contracts they're carrying right now as the bike recession looms. -Trek has (for a while now) been a distributor (at least in US) for Pirelli tires. Maybe they...

so sharpied-out Maxxis tire logos for the whole season then?

no it doesn't, actually. shimano dura-ace track gourp 7710 debuted in 1996 and has not had a single update since. there's no reason to replace it. just like saint works, best brakes in their line-up, ain't broke, don't fix it. sram is the reason things come out so fast now, they don't wait until a product is fully ready, they just release it, and update every 2 years. shimano just doesn't do that, they are a bit because of the competition, but i guaranty shimano would still have us on 11 speed and front derailleurs is sram didn't shake things...

The variance from spring to spring is likely more than the 10-15 lb difference you're targeting.

The actual question is: Why would a champion let YOU (- as in: the team he came up with) go? Especially if the combination of rider, bike and teammates works this well. This is obviously pure speculation, but I bet it comes down to money. RM isn't a big brand, they don't sell that many bikes in the grand scheme of things. I don't think they can afford to pay him a big salary. The ugly reality of it probably is that Jesse has been doing it long enough just for the love doing it. He's probably at a stage...

did not have this on my team rumors bingo card

Pah to your reasonableness - if there was any reasonableness involved, do you really think this thread would be on page 59?

You might want to quickly check Blenki’s nationality (hint, he’s not Canadian).
