Video: Kriss Kyle Tackles 4 Seasons in Cappadocia for 'Turkish Delight'
Wow I can see this guy's been heavily influenced by my riding style. It's practically plagiarism. Also turn the volume up and rewatch Kaleidoscope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UggSw4nGfw0

The UCI can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. The UCI just wants to watch the world burn.

Spot on. I don't think any of my riding friends, many of whom have been watching WCDH of decades and who spend a lot of money on the sport, watched it last year. I paid up and enjoyed the racing despite the horrible commentary (but more Gwin, please!). And I doubt newer riders give any shits about racing. Not sure who the hell is watching at this point. Did Pinkbike ever do a poll on how many of us used to watch and now don't @brianpark? I'm considering sitting this year out as the paywall thing gets more convoluted (more layers of subscriptions... moooooooore!!!!). I guess there's always team vids from Neko, Wyn, Gwin and Crankworx and Red Bull events. (sigh)

Dangerholm's Scott Spark RC Neon Project
Dangerholm may be the sexiest man alive and only half the reason is his fleet of bikes. You know the other half.

Ibis Ripmo AF & Ripley AF Receive UDH Hangers, New Colors, & New Price
@ReformedRoadie: Dunno but there's gotta be someone out there running an aftermarket coil in their Z1. Maybe mtbr knows. That jump from firm to x-firm is pretty huge. A grip 2 damper upgrade would add HSC and really help anyone on a softer spring, but it's expensive.

I'm sorry to hear about it. A friend had the same issue with his back in 2021-2022 and he eventually got fed up and dumped it. I really hope their manufacturer has stepped up the tolerances for this batch and that Ibis is QC-ing these better so misaligned frames don't make it to the customer anymore. My 2020 RAF frame was fine though. I'm on a Canfield now and the frame quality difference vs Ibis aluminum is very noticeable. Canfield's are a pure fkn joy to behold and Tilt/Lithium frame weights are in line with the RAF. CBF gives up nothing to DW-link, they're both great designs. Good luck.

Hard to gripe about a company speccing a solid build on a dw-link platform for a good price but let's do it! One hangup for me when I owned one (in addition to that cable routing) was that the frame was on the flexy side. Bring back the earliest version with the additional brace welded into the front triangle down by the bottom bracket. Hell, they're speccing a heavy coil fork and assegai, both of which scream dh but hurt the climbing performance, so it's meant to be ridden downhill hard. There are better improvements Ibis could have made than adding Transmission compatibility on a 3k bike. Also, they should have gone Z1 air. The large 10-pound jump in available springs for the coil means literally half of riders will be in-between rates. Ohlins and Cane Creek are doing it right with 5-pound spring increments. For me the Z1 x-firm spring (65#ish) was too firm and the firm spring (55#ish) was super mushy and asked too much from the basic damper. Nit picking - I'd still recommend this bike or a used v2 for a similar price in this market.
