So does every bushing in an old school XT derailleur if it is regularly maintained. This spinning freely is a marketing thing, what is more important is how well they spin under the load of the chain pull.

April of which year? 2025, 2026, ?

That's a French podcast profile, not the company profile.

They make bars in the sweep and rise that I like, but more importantly, they make a Greg Minaar signature grip.

SILVER BRAKES MADE IN THE UK?! WON'T PEOPLE THINK OF THE YORKSHIREMEN THAT ARE NOW OUT OF A JOB? DISGUSTING

Hel brakes pre-order is open. Starting from £499, with alot of customisable colour options. Don’t worry, these are made entirely in Devon, UK.

Also don't forget to mention I'm openly promoting diabetes. 😁

Knockoff how exactly? Because it has 2 chain pulley wheels? Because it has a lower cage that extends and takes up chain slack and is spring loaded and clutch damped? Because it makes the chain go up and down the cassette? Because it attaches to a rear derailleur hanger? This has to be one of the weakest "It's just a cheap Chinese knockoff" accusations I have ever seen. About the only thing it shares with SRAM is it's wireless, and so when Shimano finally steps up to the plate in 2025 with their true 100% wireless rear derailleur, I guess...

It literally says its a sponsored post...

What I see is a classic clash of US and DE business cultures.

lol

Yeah unsurprisingly when you outsource all of your technology production for 30 or 40 years, those people get really really good at it...... especially when it comes to manufacturing something to a price. I'm sure a lot of western companies could build a great competitor to DJI but it might cost about three times as much! Are people willing to pay that much for something just because it isn't Chinese? We also forget that products made in China aren't sometimes bad because of where they are made, they are bad because they were made to a spec and a price...

I don't know where you get the idea that NA is more technologically advanced than China. At least on the electric car front, China's putting out better products than the US or Germany from what I've read.

Super D was fun! Painful, but fun.

I'm not sure you're serious but just in case. https://www.whoop.com With all the announcements of these new series it sure doesn't seem like WB is killing the sport, maybe pruning it.

and their second foray

Dan was never on a level with Gee and Rach when he was 25, nevermind now

Dan wouldn’t even be able to qualify for a final. Being a fast rider at your own bike park you ride everyday is completely different from racing world cups.

Damn. Really hope someone picks tmac up. Finally getting a rampage podium and getting dropped by your two largest sponsors (pon dropped all of gt) has to be rough! Especially after all the injury time the past few years. Someone get the man some gear and a salary!
