Typical Intense. Finally building the bikes Gwin asked for 1.5 years ago... a month before the season starts. Lol. And no, looks like DAK didn't have one as of two weeks ago.

Neko leaves Intense as their bike isnt good enough starts his own programme with Frank The Welder, Intense looking over Neko's shoulder in class to copy his homework.

Charles Laura on Miranda Bike Parts team!!

look like rotor cranks to me

Yes indeed, but I fear since the UCI has published the 2022 team list, we won’t have many new rumors - at least on the racing side. Or should we already start discussing team rumors for 2023? 😅 Still very curious to find out for which brand Brett Rheeder will ride in the future.

Pretty much, it’s about getting coverage for their sponsors which lead to sales (hopefully), that’s why the likes of Brendan Fairclough make great money (presumably) even though he hasn’t one or podiumed in a long time but produces loads of content/publicity for his sponsors.

I can confirm that he wasn't there earlier. He must have been left out by mistake.

Hunh? He's literally the first rider on the list when you expand the riders section.

To save ya'll some time

Don't get me wrong there is clearly a lot to be said for small batch local production and I think what the Atherton's are doing is super interesting and I would love to see them succeed. Buuut I think that time is always going to be the limiting factor with SLS as your primary manufacturing process. The frame shown in the video has a print time of 20 hours! Meaning that if they're running at absolute maximum capacity they could put out 365 frames per year (let's ignore weekends, bank holidays and failures for argument's sake). They probably need 20ish...

Trickstuff has pushed their re-opening back to March 1st. It was originally Jan 18, then Jan 23. The modal on their site says it's so they can migrate to a new ERP (enterprise resource planning) system and I am not surprised by the date changes; migrations like that are brutally complex (I've led a few) and I was surprised they originally said they'd do in a month. From the outside it doesn't speak especially well of whoever is managing the project though, and they have my deepest sympathies, this stuff is freakin' hard (and if they're trying to integrate w/...

I've thought for some time that he's more interested in $$$ than wins. But hey, he's getting older and would probably struggle to get another deal as good as the current one, even with a few more wins to his name.

Anyone else feels that Gwin has become too money-focused.

I'm actually wondering why tire companies don't provide their athletes who (for some reason) don't use their product with ”tire stickers” that can be glued to whatever rubber they have on the bike. For instance, you are feeling safer with the DHF than with the Hellkat? Here's a ”Kenda Prototype” logo for your tires! Mx

But you still have memory cells in your immune system and are protected even when you don't have antibodies anymore. So the antibody test is also flawed. Plus it's quite apparent that quite a few people here (mostly Americans for obvious reasons) fail to realise that a lot of the restrictions, logical or not, logical when they were set and not anymore or illogical from the onset, were set to protect the greater public, not the individual. Yeah, great, free choice and everything, but to be a bit facetious, why does this free choice mean any time someone has a...

Thanks for the facts Lucent! People seem to forget that their children must have certain vaccines to attend public school, in the US. My Dad remembers getting the polio vaccine, no shot…just a drop of liquid on a sugar cube. Speaking of measles…I’ve got to get my 2nd Shingles vaccine this month.

Can't wait for more countries to mandate this.

Preface, didn't read the thread. Yet. I'm supposed to be working. Preface part2, I'm triple vaccinated (2 rounds of AZ initially, in May and June) and I ran out to get a Pfizer booster as soon as it was possible in Slovenia (vector vaccines enabled an only 2 month period before the booster could be applied), so I got the third shot in early novembre. I've recently had a listen to a Peter Attia podcast about the state of Omicron: https://peterattiamd.com/covid-19-current-state-omicron/ And I'm currently listening to the Barri Weiss podcast (one of the guests is the same in both cases)...
