Can we wager on it? like points for how many items I got correct vs incorrect, if I'm victorious you buy me a 6pack of American pond water? Spomer, can we get a sarcasm font so theres no mistaking whats being written?

Everybody: "It's the rider, not the bike" Also everybody: "Rider X's results sucked when they were on brand X because that bike sucked" Back to team rumors: A particular 2023 Spanish team rider discussed in recent posts, may be spending a lot more time in the land of freedumb. Specifically, in an area (regionally) known for it's extra large heaping portion of freedumb (which was still not enough for a certain rider because other states have way morerer freedumb).

We don’t.

Do we? How bout' this -Inverted (clearly) -39mm lowers -147-176mm travel adjustable in 7mm increments, done internally, can only be done at Push's shop -CNC'd CSU, that are bonded to the upper tubes using loads of good intentions -HSC, 47 clicks -LSC 3 clicks -HSR, 9.7 clicks -LSR only adjustable internally, requires several model specific tools, like a 10mm socket (you know yours is mssing) easier to send to Push -Axle made of unobtainium, with a special 7 sided octagonal design said to increase torsional stiffness by 36.89% over previous model, with proprietary axle sizing, to fit readily available 120mm...

Sweet! I'll just be over here listening to some Pennywise...

It’s not that trigonometry is beyond the abilities of mountain bikers (other than maybe the youngest among us), but for whatever reason these conversations are mired in numbers that don’t really tell you what they look like they tell you. Whether you care about where your grips end up in space relative to the bottom bracket or the steer tube or the front axle or the saddle, none of numbers most easy to grab and post online (e.g. stem lengths, bar rises) get you there. And the numbers themselves (“45 mm”) can be freighted with all sorts of riders’ personal...

Yes, Bryn only rides OG High Rollers...from a particular batch produced in 2016, aged in a temperature and humidity controlled cellar, and pre-conditioned with extra virgin olive oil prior to riding.

Spotted a new Canfield of some sort, vertical shock link, looked to be about 140-160mm travel. Guy riding it said it's "prototype" but refused to give any other information. Didn't get a spy shot because I am dumb.

Oh shit Jackson’s dad hangs out here. Reckon what he’s disagreeing with is the “pushing”. In the sense of how the Williams sisters, Tiger Woods, Andre Agassi were heavily pushed by their parents and it had huge adverse psychological effects. Given the joy Jackson seems to have at riding, seems safe to assume there was no pressure, just support. Well done.

I'd like to disagree with you on that.

Heres a one off / prototype I made for myself that after some interest I will be doing a small batch of, Enjoy! Its a seatpost steepening shim: Reduces effective top tube length by 8-10mm (at 350mm extension from collar) Specs: 30.9mm to 34.9 mm Actual seatpost angle : ~ +1.0 degree Effective seatpost angle : ~ +0.6 degree Maximum :~280mm (Full depth on a 2020 Enduro) https://www.instagram.com/zencomponents

what does this mean for team rumors

Mr. "listen guy" youve been spittin more hot fire then Dylan since you missed your start gate in Mammoth. At least you're second on the podium to mister I know everything but don't spill the deets.

you don't have to talk to Craig at avalanche, that's a saving in itself.....

Please can we just get on with it? If you want to discuss the differences in bicycles and motorbikes please do that somewhere else.

I'm at work, a colleague comes over to me.... he see's me concentrating really hard. He says "oh you must be doing something important, I'll come by later" Little does he know I'm trying to figure out these cryptic team rumor illustrations about dudes riding bikes. Bravo good sir, carry on. This is what this thread is about.

this is how you do rumors. NOT: I kNoW sOmEtHiNg
