A Deeper Look At The Latest Trinity MTB Gravity Project
@WalrusRider: or have two moveable casettes in the gearbox, with the small cog on one opposite the large of another. I believe shimano has patented that

5 Things We Learned from the Araxá XC World Cup 2024
- Araxa is beautiful
- That course was sick
- The camera work was really bad. Too many far away blurred panned shots or drone shots where you can't see the course or riders because of obstacles in the way. The final lap sprint battle in the men's race was ruined by the cameras continually loosing the riders

First Look: Pinarello Renews Focus on MTB with Dogma XC & XC Now Available in FS & HT
@WhateverBikes: they're not breaking away from convention, they're using the convention from several years ago, whilst on average the xc bikes that are popular and winning races have slacker HAs.
Actually they're still using roadie logic with the slacker HA on size small to get around toe overlap and the steeper HA on larges sizes to make the longer wheelbase more manoeuvreable

Madrone Cycles' SRAM Eagle Repair Kits & Prototype Derailleur
Could see this being useful for a road trip. Having a mech that can work on any cassette so it can be used by any of your buddies if they damage theirs. Would be even better if it worked with different amounts of gears too

Pinkbike Primer: Everything You Need to Know Ahead of the Araxá XC World Cup 2024
If that's a reference to the last round, I didn't think it was bad. A few drops, a few rock gardens, maybe not the gnarliest but not every round has to be and I think that's an ok price to pay for having a new venue (especially one outside Europe). It was certainly tricky enough to cause a few crashes, anyway!
