He wasn't in the past as far as I've seen. To be honest, I've stopped following MKBHD becuase he tends to fanboy about Tesla too (I really don't like Tesla just because of all the fanboyisms), but with Sandy it seems he has some points to it. There is a video of him describing Musk as a disruptor. Geezus, now I'm offtopicing my own topics!!!

If I was in the marketing dept or a team manager for a bicycle brand I wouldn’t touch Zink with a 10ft pole. Edited: because this isn’t PB and I don’t personally know the guy. And as for Alex Pro, I did some stupid shit as an intoxicated 19 year old myself

I did some quick searches to find out what the axle to crown distances are for MX forks, but couldn't find any info. The point is moot though as setting fork insertion in the crowns is a tuning parameter, but a rough ballpark would still be useful. Yeah, the wheels are smaller, but MX bikes, if I understood correctly, run 300 mm of travel, so the ATCs aren't THAT different. Stanchion diameters are over 40 mm though with the outer tubes and crowns also much beefier than any bike stuff. What would be interesting to know what the torsional stiffness...

Lewis Buchanan to scott with rockshox suspension. He recently unfollowed Forbidden on insta and he only follows scott/rs. Looks like TRP handling braking and shifting, ethirteen components and muc off and ride concepts. This is purely based on who he is following on Instagram, but looks like he has had a ‘clear out’ of following previous sponsors. Hints towards him being on the same set up as last year as not sure teams would run that mixture of components

I mentioned that in the huge wall of text, yeah, including tapered walls. I only thought about it once I started to analyse the results. Like I mentioned, changes to the model would have to be made to fit 40 mm stanchions with thicker outers and having run the simulations multiple times I just wanted to get it done. Plus it's insanely long (over 4000 words and 27 pages in Word) already. I fully expect there will be requests to include dual crown forks (have thought about it too) as well, so it could be included in there. The models...

UK who? 🤪 (joke)

Becci who?!

Of course I do not know any facts but his tone is just inappropriate. The same with Silva who recently posted a meme on instagram complaining about the bike industry pushing their money to youtubers instead of "shredders". The kid has mad skills but do these guys really not get that they are paid by the brand to promote the brand and not just to have a good time?

I wonder if he’s referring to the Foon skis he is taking a picture of on his feet? They are a BC ski maker.

no kona, no chromag.

Yoann Barelli to Kona. Follows no other bike brands other than Kona and also follows their communications manager. With Rhys Verner off the Kona Gravity (shitty for Kona) it opens up a spot for another sponsored rider.

Wouldn’t put too much thought into that phrase It‘s still a very common saying that YT uses for their brand but isn‘t „created“ by them

The new transition patrol will have 170mm rear travel The new forbidden will be called the dreadnought and have 150 something travel

Well, I went for more or less all the clickers with my current bike - Lyrik RC2 and Super Deluxe RCT (yeah, Fox has more clickers, but servicing wise it's out of the question). Because more clickers, more better. On the other hand I also bought a shockwiz, set the suspension as it told me and left it at that. The key is I'm too lazy to do back to back runs and test things (should really go to a bikepark with that intention some day...), when I'm riding I just ride and love it. Having more data might help...

there are post/view counts on the forum. i love the crowd in this forum. they are civil, knowledgable and calculated. please do not respond to this reply, let the team rumors carry on w/o these distractions.

@HAEKTPON - last warning - stop cluttering up this forum thread. you're posting too often, with too much nonsense.
