    DH World Cup thread

    Been looking forward to viewing the event but "Cancelled" came up at the last minute? OK, so it got rained out and so they just called the seeding runs the race:

    Poll: Is your bike derestricted?

    I have had 8 or so ebikes over the last 10yrs, some with hub motors used primarily on roads, and some with DIY mid motors and none have been restricted. Oh and all have had throttles, very useful for starting off and as a walk assist and then left alone. I just use common sense from over 50yrs...

    Redbull rampage 2025 time

    While the focus of this thread has drifted towards the acceptability of the chance of life altering injury and if it is something that those that choose to watch action sports events can expect to witness let me just say as the parent of a young adult that sustained a very similar injury 15yrs...

    With a motor need to be removed.

    A bit hard to tell but it looks like you could remove the two bolts holding the battery connector which might allow it to be moved out of the way enough for the lower end of the aluminum channel to drop out and then it will also slide out of the upper space once that is achieved?

    DH World Cup thread

    I'm just not big on any event that is subject to judging. However Brendon did get robbed and last few years produced not only what I felt were the best lines due to Lad Science that were well ridden but also the YT vid's on the work that goes into the whole event. And you have to admit that the...

    Surprised that UCI didn't ding Bruni for skipping the box? Saw a YT short of him getting off the gondy and it didn't look like he was at all imobile?

    My favorite part of the live feed, I caught on Tiz btw, was when the drone ate shite by the waterfall.

    Giant targeted. This ain't good...

    To that end of why the WRO and the ? I had that was answered with a quick google search that now includes AI wizardry apparently...... "Giant has enacted changes, including a zero recruitment fee policy and housing upgrades, and is filing a petition to reverse the order. The incident impacts...

    Giant targeted. This ain't good...

    The real reason is because Biden rides a bicycle and Giant, although they manufacture for other name brands like TREK, is a big enough manufacturer of bicycles to satisfy the base of idiots that are currently in charge of such things here by making trouble for them and thus giving Biden the...

    DH World Cup thread

    This came up on a thread today and got a charge out of it! The Champery track in 07' sure was a different beast than today. Also a guest appearance by Steve from EMBN to make for some ebike content.....

    DH World Cup thread

    Seriously! They were not to be denied....between the chainsaws and smoke bombs and the sheer humanity it is quite the spectacle, from afar anyway. The race was not bad either.

    DH World Cup thread

    Well race time is on again and track walks posted. New track is looking fresh and if weather predictions come to pass should make things interesting. Any bets on if the crowd will be able to rush the finish line this year?

    That is because it is free! Like DH coverage used to be under RedBull. And it is still coverage of athletes pushing the envelope which always seems to draw a crowd.

    DH World Cup thread

    Was posted here across the pond on YT. That and the highlights mixed with the UCI timing site is how I guess I'm going to get my WC DH ya ya's in this year. And also some track walk and athlete vid pre vids. Whatever for sure Jackson is a level above the rest and calm as a bomb to boot! Update...

    Cannondale Moterra Neo 5 pedal strikes

    175mm cranks were the norm at the dawn of MTB and then front suspension came along which didn't seem to have effect on pedal strikes but when adding 150mm or + of travel front and rear then subtracting that amount under compression it is only fair to say that pedal strike opportunities rise. I...

    DH World Cup thread

    At least when the Canadians win the crowd doesn't storm the paddock! Although they had the obligatory smoke bombs going off and at the ready. Best way I've found anymore is to get as much off YT as presented and thankfully most of that is sans talking heads. But that is how I watch all cycling...
