What model year Wild are we talking about? I don't think it helps the OP to compare a 3 or 4 year Wild, which has now gone through 2 separate iterations since then (2025, and now 2027). I have a 2025 Wild, and it's fantastic, but there are lots of fantastic bikes to choose from. The Bullit is...

Hopefully Loam Wolfe will get one from whatever source and put out a nice review.

Yeah, I see that, well, that's why I attributed the statements to AI, not as gospel from the site. I really look forward to picking one of these up, which, as far as I can tell and incidentally (and at least in the US), is a less expensive option than the Teewing or the Velduro. Teewing is not...

Chassis is supposed to be diff from the 2026 Bosch Gen5 - I think this reviewer was comparing it to the Rallon? Right? So he says it's very similar to the Rallon now. Orbea themselves say it is more compliant and less stiff. AI says: Lower Bottom Bracket & Anti-Squat: The smaller footprint of...

That is your (current) rank in that sector. You can be 8th and still first because you were first or faster in other sectors, plus ther eis the untimed sector at the bottom, after that last sector beacon. You can win by being the most consistently fast through all the sectors It's super similar...

I think Asa is still working on dialing back from full attack mode, something Nico has touched on interviews (and Asa), eg, he's not yet capable of just dialing back a little, so he is either backed off considerably (for him) or full tilt boogie. I also saw in an interview where Jackson talked a...

Kolb looked fantastic in practice. But hey, none of the media picked the right podium either, they were way off.

Moving on up! I took Jordan as a lark because I watched a bunch of wyn and Moi Moi and fast AF, and he just seemed super confident at the moment, and he delivered, I really didn't expect it. Had Asa and Maples to round it out. I dropped vali at the last minute as I really thought Lisa B and...

this is BS, becasue I watch UCI riders during the season, all season, and they constantly have the exact kind of crash I am talking about. They are in Andorra right now, and if you watch moi moi tv or wyn tv, you will see about 35-45 crashes of the EXACT type I am talking about in their 2, 1...

right?? That video, jeese.

people (some people) always say this, but dude, a ton of mtb crashes are like the front wheel goes withjout warning (for whatever reason) and you are catapulted with no warning. There is no 'crashing technique' for events like this. It happens too fast, and without warning.

Thanks Rusty, but it did not work.

How do i join this league on Pinkbike? It requires a password?

I went into a shop to get my chain replaced, and I ended up replacing almost my entire drive train, the worn chain had effed up my chainring and my cassette.
