    2015 Racing Rumours - MTB Musical Chairs

    Could this be the person "all busted up"? Maybe doing the EWS?

    Putting an End to the Rumours

    Florian Pugin is off Scott. I think she said she was taking a break from the WC circuit; somebody correct me if I am wrong. Many teams listed their Enduro riders as DH. Strobel???????

    any team rumours nonsense this year

    At the bottom it says "Stay tuned for more details on Norco’s World Cup, Privateer, BMX, Road and Enduro racers."

    These grips could be worth a jam

    ^^^Yup! Every time one of my friends laid their hands on those grips on my bars, they always said "Wow, those feel really nice". Wish they were still around.

    Bad news about Sombrio

    That's what I said; I've never owned shorts with that pad & liner, and I never wanted one. I bought the Ruckus shorts, and even though I felt funny just putting the liner on, I decided to give it a try on a ride. God almighty...it makes the ride so much better. Those long climbs are so much...

    Am I the only one who thinks enduro racing hurts?

    I've heard a few pro Enduro racers say that they have to get "used to racing this format". I also did my first Enduro race a year ago (didn't do nearly as well as I thought I would have). What do I make of it?...You know how exhausted you feel at the end of a DH race? Well, you need to pace...

    Leogang 2013 - Season ender...

    No ill will, hate, or anything like that on my part for Gee, but Mik winning and Smith getting the overall would be pretty sick! Rumor is Hill and Minnaar both now have an injured knee. Now, I'm not 100% sure, but even if you are a protected rider, as long as you break the starter bar in...

    Yup, saw that...and I feel the same way.

    Leogang 2013 - Season ender...

    Smith Hannah Minnaar Brosnan Peaty (Remember his run last year?...Could've had the win if he didn't slide out on a corner, plus he's amped from BDS win and 6th in Hafjell) Ask me again on race day, and depending on conditions, this list may change.

    Hafjell (NOR) 2013 World Cup #5

    He is going to the race, but I haven't read anything saying that he is going to race. Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to see him in the race, and if anybody can find anything where he says he's racing, please show me, cuz that would be AWESOME! But I don't think it's happening.

    World Champs 2012 Thread

    YUP! Yes, it's got quite a bit of pedalling involced, and it isn't that steep. But...look at the size of the jumps, the speed at which you need to clear them, the rocks they do actually have, and you'll see that it is (in its own way) a pretty ballsy course. Nowhere near as ballsy as VDS, Ft...

    Same year he won worlds; he also won Andorra and La Bresse in 2009.

    Mavic 821 rims

    Because they have held up better than other rims I have used. BTW, tons of people love their Deemax wheelsets, and aren't those 23mm wide internally? Also, as somebody also said, the rim width works in conjunction with the specific tire. Using a Maxxis 2.5 tire on a 23mm rim and going to a...

    World Champs 2012 Thread

    Well, I always want Peaty to win. But to be honest, I seeing the top three being Greg 1st, Mik 2nd, and 3rd going to Gwin, Gee, or Smith. For the ladies, if she's not broken, Rachel will take it. I think Manon is a stronger on the pedals, but being able to keep your speed up by clearing those...

    Ft. William 2013 World Cup Round 1

    Minnaar took a spill yesterday, so maybe he took that one section a bit more reserved? I dunno. Considering that you can earn points for qualifying, I would think they would put in a race run effort...or at least close to it.

    Ft. William 2013 World Cup Round 1

    Pretty much all the big boys have finished qualifying; Hart takes it. Hart, Atherton, Blenkinsop, Hannah,Steve Smith, MacDonald, Bruni, Hill, Joe Smith, Neethling.

    DT Swiss ex 500 rims vs 721s...or any other lighter rim

    I've been riding 721s on-and-off for a few years. Solid rim, and I can't really say anything bad for their weight. I haven't ridden those DT rims; I heard the ones from a few years ago were soft and weren't that good, but the new ones were better...still dented right at the bead, but were...

    What is this tire?

    Nope...the name of that winning tire is a cut down HRII, courtesy of Mr. Minnaar! :rockout:
