I think you're right on the 120-130mm bikes. I think bikes are going to divide into short travel bikes, ebikes, and DH bikes. Maybe not 2026 but at some point. And I bring this up because some folks don't know (literally a friend of mine was telling me how much they miss parmigiano reggiano but they haven't had it since they've become lactose intolerant): Aged hard cheeses have less lactose than younger and/or softer cheeses. If a person is intolerant, they might still be able to have parmesan, Romano, Manchego, and other aged hard cheeses. The aging process in cheese...

PS: I blatantly stole this from pinkbike

Thats offical since MSA...

I’ve had the opportunity to watch her race in western Canada in the Dunbar Summer Series, Canadian Nationals, she’s a ripper! With the right support she could be our next Canadian woman at WCs

Not the main team, but I saw yesterday that they're offering support to Arleigh Kemp, a young Canadian (not yet a junior?) woman.

Greenland to Frameworks?

MFR to rockshox suspension

I picked up some new leatt 6.0, as they are level 2 and low profile. They tick almost every box, but the D30 style pad in the knee is kind of small. It's a shame, as they are super comfy and light. They just need a little more coverage around the sides of the knee, like the arcon LT, and they would be perfect. I haven't 100% decided, but I think these are going to be returned and I'll continue my search. The knee pad is removable so I am also considering picking up a larger L2 pad and swapping...

Dak on Norco would be cracking🙏

How’s everyone feel about DH transmission?

Prince andrew to pivot?

Dak to Scott seems lame.

Nope

The mental image of the guy hiding in the bushes is hilarious

Three times. There was Gwin. Couple years later they cut Dak and Davey Boy at the end of the season, closed their race team, only to immediately start the mob. And now this.

I think keyboard warriors wanted to see YT burn after this to burn Markus. Twice have they burned riders at the top of the game. They burned customers. Why would we want to be oh yeah they are back? All the good karma that they had built up over the years?

The Syndicate needed a solid, consistent top 10 male rider to back up Jackson. Kolb will provide that, along with Nina to rack up the points for the team overall whilst Jackson battles the Alran brothers and Asa for race wins.

Personally, I would just rather ride 2-3 times a week on my e-bike, doing multiple laps on my favorite trails. Versus one or maybe two rides a week on non-e-bike, doing 1 lap and being smoked. This was e-bike ride this morning 15miles, 3,500ft elevation gain.
