Day 1 Randoms: Bespoked Show 2023
@fiekaodclked: I guess you could ask Guerilla Gravity owners how they feel about that.

Pinkbike Primer: Everything You Need to Know Ahead of the Andorra DH World Cup 2023
I'd like to see a decision on the World Champs as a whole. Maybe it's time to ditch it? Give the rainbow stripes to the overall World Cup winner instead. Having a one off race that varies the time of year it is raced, is sold separately in terms of broadcast rights, is a bit nuts.
In terms of qualifying, is it possible for someone to gain entry for the World Champs (through their local series) without contesting any World Cup races? I mean that would be hilarious, have someone unheard of qualify, win, and not see them again the rest of the year as they are not racing World Cups.

First Ride: SRAM's New GX Transmission
@succulentsausage: Where do you get that pricing for Shimano? It's not super cheap here in NZ.

Abbey Tools' Premium Truing Stand Starts at $1,450 - Eurobike 2023
I bought a 220mm rotor which needed truing out of the box, even the shop hasn't been able to get it straight. I could buy this truing stand, or about 14 rotors and hope one of them is straight.

Reader Story: Does Pedal Kickback Actually Happen?
Edit. Commented before I watched the video and realised he was yesterday on the same bike!

Reader Story: Does Pedal Kickback Actually Happen?
I've gone to a 22 Stumpy Evo from a 14 Enduro. The Enduro has the pivot well below the chain ring and the typical Specialized anti squat (ie none), the Stumpy had the pivot about where a 34t would be (comes with a 30t) and I get this rapid tugging vibration on small stuff, especially on the brake in a lowish gear. Yet no one in the forums seems to have noticed. I need to get the GoPro on to look at the chain.

Tech Randoms: Nove Mesto XC World Cup 2023
For some reason I enjoy the XC tech randoms more than the DH. XC seems more like an F1 pitwalk and DH is the WRC.
Said from someone who has never clipped in, worn lycra and grumbles about every climb :)

Throwback Thursday: Kranked 5 Turns 20
@glenno: For sure. Bought a BETD kit to run it in 26" but sold the bike not long after.
