9mm difference in stack height from smallest frame to largest, one of those frames can't have been built with the intended rider in mind.

Gee Atherton is Back Between the Tape at the Andorra DH World Cup 2023

@donimo: Rule 4.18.001 says Elite teams (costs upwards of €23000 to register as one) can have temporary replacement riders fill in for sick/injured riders, this could lead to a possible upset again like Josh Button in Cairns 2016 filling in on Kona for a 5th. I don’t think Adam Brayton will be pulling that but it is possible for an Elite team with a downed rider to take him on, maybe Sam Hill being out could be filled in for at Nukeproof next weekend.

Pinkbike Predictions: Riders to Watch at the Andorra DH World Cup 2023

Where did Kolb say he hates fast tracks and that they’re not his strong suit? Leogang is really fast and he was 5th here last year.

First Ride: The New RockShox Vivid Ultimate Shock

Why not just put permanent knobs on all the adjusters? I'd rather have an extra 20g of weight and not have to fumble with a small easily droppable piece when tweaking the suspension.

Junior Qualifying Results from the Fort William DH World Champs 2023

@flowisforpussies: They do have a rule about this but it really requires a super slow time to go into effect: 4.3.003 Any rider whose time being 100% slower of that of the first established time is listed in the results as DNF (did not finish) and is not awarded any points. This rule is applied for qualifying round and finals. Under exceptional circumstances, the maximum allowed time limit for finishing may be altered during the race. This decision is made by the president of the commissaires’ panel after consultation with the technical delegate.

Opinion: Five Things The Bike Industry Could Do Better

I have the stock spacer height plus 1.5mm over the Transition factory standard on my XXL Spire, 76mm bars, a riser stem and still want taller bars. Seb makes a good point.
