A lot of chain drops this weekend? thoughts?
To me all the big rocks all over the place from top to nearly bottom are to blame for it(punctures too). Add big rocks to the high average speeds an you got smash palace!
pretty sure it's dw's fault. that, or lack of positivity.
They need to rotate their devices 15º
Probably a problem with shimz. It is most likely that they needed moar of them.
Wild guess here, but it's the first thing that came to mind after seeing that pic, and hearing CG's comments about tubeliss burping.
Maybe Mavic are trying to run a system like the Nuetech Moto Tubliss, to prevent burping?
Interesting, almost like an internal beadlock. Seems like something that could have potential.Wild guess here, but it's the first thing that came to mind after seeing that pic, and hearing CG's comments about tubeliss burping.

I was wondering the same thing.
Does anybody know anything about the Alpinestars knee/shins worn by Minnaar,Neethling etc?

Although it isn't - curious why it's out by one spoke - mechanic error I think?!
Another flawless playback for me on Freecaster during 4X and finals. Not one hiccup either day with the feed.
seems like it would be a bad idea to go through the weld.Although it isn't - curious why it's out by one spoke - mechanic error I think?!
You make a damn good point, I knew there must be a clever reason but didn't think of the weld!
Lightweight components lost out to durable components. Pushing the weights down too far is my guess. I couldn't tell on the Freecaster feed what brands blew up. I saw only one close enough to I.D. but won't mention the name for fear of being called a hater.
Anybody who can spot who the other ones were? It looked like the lower roller blew or the chain popped out between the chainring and lower pulley.
If it is bashless guards, maybe switch back to bashers to get that one extra piece to keep the chain in place.
I still think chainguides with no bashguard is not smart. You take a chain, a chainring, a 14" BB and put this little rudder beside it and ask all rocks to hit the rudder, not the chain????
I noticed for sure. No e*thirteens that I counted though, woohoo!!
Not that it really matters to me as now I'm an innocent bystander..

me three.
was a great race. Got to watch the final women live on Freecaster, which worked perfectly. Stoked for Sabrina, caus' it proves she didn't win last year just because Rachel was gone. She beat her fair and square - on home soil no less (actually, here's a question: do Brits really consider Scotland "home soil"; and is the opposite true too?) then I had to go to my pre-natal classes... (man, women have to deal with some pretty nasty stuff in birth!
)watched the mens replay later that night. They seemed to have some issues getting the replay up, but that got fixed within a couple of hours and I got to watch to whole thing live. Thanks Freecaster. It was a sweet race. it almost seems like the "changing of the guard" is starting to happen...

replay wouldn't work for me last night, just the spinning circles.....might try again tonight, but frankly, the mtbcut/dirttv/etc highlights are so good, it probably isn't worth the hassle.
dd it to me last night but after about the 4th refresh, it played straight through and I got to skip all the people I don't know. Two thumbs way up there for Freecaster and mother nature. One thumb way down for watching the millionth flat tire for Chris Kovarik.
I dunno, I refreshed like 5 times and it refused to play, so I gave up. Last year I didn't have any problems, this year there's no way I'd get up early to try and watch.
Those Gamut guides sure are light though
Update on Sarsha Huntington (injured rider in womens 4x):
I think Stevie gets "best in show"...
and how the hell did Mrs. Huntington cut herself so deeply?! I saw her crash and it looked like she knocked herself out; it didn't look like anything would have cut her... glad to hear she "OK" and recovering though. Hope she's heals up fast.

Stikman needs to get behind the wrenches again?
Lack of positivity?
Cedric's mechanic was dreaming of womenz while putting the bike together?
Thanks for the update, and wishing her well.Update on Sarsha Huntington (injured rider in womens 4x):
might have had a close call with the chain coming off/jamming in the rougher parts of the track, once on the motorway he was probably good to go since it's pretty smooth. this is e-speculation at its finest, or course.
Well from what I can figure out, Minnaar blamed Dougie for his race run "issue", and as we can hear in the Vital slideshow, he had a new pedal on for race run as he smashed one in practice, so maybe poor old Dougie Hatrick didn't quite tighten up the pedal? Who knows
Last year he had an issue at Le Breast....rear brake i think.....
