Semi-Final Results from the Fort William DH World Cup 2024
In any branch of cycling, is the UCI viewed as a positive force? It seems that they are self appointed and are not fit for purpose across the board. The sport of cycling should abandon them and form a new governing body with a better understanding of the appeal of the sport and modern viewing platforms.

The difference is expectation.
If the product is free, it is much easier to forgive teething problems and quality issues.
If you charge a fee, it somewhat implies that the people involved are professionals that back their own competence to deliver a premium service. It's harder to ignore issues or quality drops compared to the preceeding free product.

Pässilä's Runtu Titanium Enduro Hardtail & An eMTB Proto with Automatic Transmission
E bike with automatic transmission...sweet....looking forward to when they design something to eliminate the boring pedalling bit...maybe make it have 4 wheels so I don't have to waste precious gnar shredding time on balancing...

"But are consumers aware of the three-class system?"
No I don't know the three-class system well, hopefully this article will make it very easy to understand in a succinct fashion.....maybe a table showing the differences, so the consumer doesn't have to do additional reading.

100%...i love purple but nearly every clothing company seems to have decided that purple stuff should only be available in womens specific stuff....and barely ever in mens.....i might have to start a campaign

Trinity MTB's Latest Bike Places the Cassette In a Can
@carbonsinglespeed: I appreciate that, but back before we knew what Honda was using and people were just speculating, this was one of the suggestions, and now someone is doing it for real.
I wasn't claiming this is what Honda actually did

There were rumours back in the day, that this is the exact set up that the Honda downhill bikes used.

The UCI has surely run its course by now.
It's time to fuck off and let people who enjoy cycling start organising events
