How is GoPro not related when I'm watching winning world cup race runs week in and week out on the GoPro Bike YouTube Channel? (Daks helmet sponsor too) On YouTube GoPro Bike has 91k subs vs GoPro Snow at 152k. I honestly thought the gulf of bike to snow would be much larger. Seems like bikes are a huge segment of the market for GoPro (and it's slowly slipping to Insta360 and DJI) I bet a fair amount of people in here have owned a GoPro and basically only used it on their bike. Highly relevant.

Gopro officially goes through with their merger according to PB. I know it had been speculated about here. I had hoped there would be a bankruptcy discount but now unless I pretend to be a warlord I may be out of luck.

I don't think this has anything to do with environmental protection but instead the organisation of the event. Do you guys not remember how often course marshalls were busy fixing the tape when a racer missed a line and went through it during practice? Or how often tape got wrapped in a wheel and dragged with the rider for the remainder of the run? Not talking about all the helmet POV cam footage where at every stop during practice the racers needed to lift the tape to get off an on course. I think the pole are an improvement from...

gotta hand it to canyon, when it comes to aesthetics they are hard to beat. Their bikes and kit almost always look slick and clean.

Droolworthy pics from Canyon:

Todays races were epic, i even shed tears for Hattie. Too bad there will be no WynTV for this one though.

There is probably single digit mm2 of contact area, the pressure acting on that surface is going to be huge! I don't think the you'd be able to feel a soft tape like that and it's likely to just disintegrate in the hub and cause issues.

October to March series. Southern hemisphere and places that have milder climates year around.

How did we ever have fun riding bikes as kids before batteries and motors? What a terrible childhood I must have had.

Im excited to watch this on replay after I know nobody got seriously injured or died.

I don’t think they would work for Rampage riding. There would’ve been no direct indication Adolf was going to crash until he hit the ground for an imbedded gyroscopic sensor.

I think you and I have already had this exact same conversation, but okay let's review my points again: 1. Lab tests ≠ absolute truth. Not all tests are created equal. People in these forums have repeatedly made the claim that radial tires roll slower than bias ply tires, but the tests they've shared to back up these claims ( example from Schwalbe's lab here) were performed on steel drums in a laboratory. Steel drums have been resoundingly proven to not be a reliable proxy for even smooth asphalt, let alone rough asphalt, gravel, or real world trail conditions. If...

I want max grip for riding off camber flat out. Schwalbe Radials are next level for natural terrain. If you want support and durability then stick to regular tyres.

Let’s not forget that one of the main benefits of radials is that you are able to ride with much more durable casing while getting the compliance of a lighter tire. might have to run higher pressure, but at the end of the day you get more durability while preserving feel and traction.

if you regularly found this shoe for $50, I think we have the answer as to why they're not making them anymore.

Avinox is far from a monopoly. Looking just at MGUs, I wouldn't underestimate players like Gobao. And, more broadly speaking, I wouldn't count out TQ or Bosch just yet. But SRAM and Shimano have had a duopoly in the drivetrain market for ages, so maybe it's about time some others get some market share too. While I like both companies, I'm certainly not looking at the current landscape and saying "I hope this doesn't mean I'll be able to choose something other than SRAM or Shimano in the future."

Nice! This is great info. I'm surprised, but encouraged to see it. I certainly hope SRAM and Shimano are both able to roll out new motors and compete with Avinox. Monopolies are bad.
