Jesse Melamed is 100% riding for Canyon…Just saw him riding at home in Squamish on a Canyon

Old school DH is Nico and Anne-Caro . But mid school DH is Greg and Rachel . New school DH is Loic for men's and still Rachel Then if you talk XC then its definitely Nino and Gunn-Rita . Hard to pick best of ALL time , much easier to pick best of their time . .

Considering how he praised heavy e-bikes I definitely don't think so. That whole interview was just a 30 minute self-fellating session for that rob guy. Disgruntled ex-employee: "I got big things coming man just wait, I cant say nothin, but its gonna be huge, game changer"

And with your Cannodale purchase you still get to give your money to that same ultra wealthy European family

Hey, thought I’d clear up the fair question you asked here! I’m not into racing enduro anymore or heavily focusing on being competitive and haven’t been for a couple years now. I’ve been racing since I was 11 years old and I got tired of it. I’m enjoying competing now and then In different events but focusing on travelling to cool locations and filming & riding with new people and friends and sharing my experiences and working alongside my sponsors. Change has been good and I’ve found my feet doing this. Cheers Lew

Since slope and freeride rumors are lacking in this year's thread. Tim Bringer on Canyon.

Blame it on the dying cries of rumor season or the agitation of having to wait for the big announcements to come but this long time lurker and fellow old guy suggests we take the nostalgia to the newly created Get off my lawn! forum https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/get-my-lawn and leave the team rumors free from the “remember when everything was cooler than it is now” back and forth.

well canyon is running sram/RS and TLD

You sound like the pissed off dude at the bar that hates his life so he shits on everyone else and tells the same story about how he won state champs once. #unclerico

Any chance of making a separate Palmer fanboy moto stream? We all get how uninfluenced you guys are but I came here for this season's racing rumors and not to hear you live in the past.

so this one is interesting...stumbled across it via random followers. i see lars follows it, probuilds and some others that indicate it's not some fake transition account. https://www.instagram.com/transitionfactoryracing/

Shaun Palmer probably also did Supercross quite a few years ago, when the competition wasn't quite so fierce as it is these days (as the sports has gotten more and more professional). While never riding anything with gears (only the Pony Express quasi motorcycle, the thing Bernard actually bought in Slovenia a few years ago) and knowing very little about MX, it is nevertheless VERY clear that MX/SX guys are probably one of the fittest sportsmen on the planet. The strength needed to manhandle ~100 kg of metal under you (compared to less than 20 kilos of our bikes) and...

Wrong , KTM made motorcycles , radiators and bicycles for many years and then went bankrupt and was saved by financial creditors , one company being Farioli (Italian KTM importer), the company was then split into 4 separate companies , motorcycles , bicycles, radiators and tooling KTM cycles is not a licensing company …. anyway roll on team rumours……move on!

A lot of the youngsters are heavily influenced by 50to01 and are starting to make those styles of edits. My son and his friends have all procured old school VX style cameras with fish eyes and such and are doing their filming on those instead of their iPhones. The 90s are on the way back. They also wear baggy ass clothing (JNCO is back).

It's not any sort of "might be leaving Nukeproof" post. Pretty sure Hill announced recently he was continuing with NukeProof. Each year when the new season rolls around, he's been stellar at issuing a full and complete thank you to all of his sponsors from the prior season. People each time think it's trolling hinting at a sponsor change. The last sentence references a potential shift back to more DH races in 2023, again previously referenced. To see Sam back in DH...yeah, that is a win for everyone. And he needs to do a Day of the Dead paint scheme...

In the auto world, this chassis damping topic is covered under "NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness)". Some producers take it so seriously that they place their car into anechoic chambers to study/measure NVH. Their strategy is not to eliminate it all, but to target the most unpleasant parts of it. I figure that this means targeting high-pitched/frequence noises for correction, perhaps using deadening material that is effective at it. They also use the strategy of tuning noises. In other words, they believe that if something has to make noise, then make it sound more pleasant. The sound of a door slamming...
