Praxis' New Flat Pedals, Stem, & Carbon Bottle Cage
Except Spec Zee cage weighs 28g and comes in left or right, which the article seems to imply isn't the case here. Which would be very weird. Magnets to store a quick link? Thank goodness, I cannot imagine how else one would be able to bring 2g worth of a quick link otherwise... Seems like a solution looking for a problem.
Not an improvement or a great copy in any way, imo.

How Are Fans Watching Mountain Biking? - State of the Sport 2024
Very disappointed by this completely effed up situation by UCI and WB. I've been following XCO women's and men's racing "semi-religiously" for about 10 years now. Even last year, although it definitely was NOT better than before, I ponied up to watch on GCN+. But this year - it's on another level of screwed up. 30 bucks/month or 150/year for Flow bikes, when the only thing that interests me there are those XCO races??
Something tells me that majority of people who end up watching (legally), are already Flo bikes subscribers and mainly interested in road racing. Over 66% of respondent above answered unlikely or very unlikely to whether they will pay, and I'm in the same camp.

5 Key Stats From XC Racers in the Pinkbike State of the Sport Survey 2024
@pmhobson: Oh man. Did you actually read what I wrote about? Your quote has *nothing* to do with it. I was not talking about production and camera angles (although those left much to be desired, too, at times), but about how races have become less - and now even less yet - accessible for tv audiences.

5 Key Stats From XC Racers in the Pinkbike State of the Sport Survey 2024
@pmhobson: Um, no, it wasn't. There was no question that focused on how TV broadcasting has changed, making races less accessible and bringing viewership down, exactly opposite to what UCI should be focused on. If they cared. Fewer fans, less visibility for sponsors / advertisers.. sooner or later that's got to affect teams and racers by extension, as well.

Should've asked about racers' feelings on the changes to and current state of TV broadcasting cluster%^&@ of a situation, that UCI and WB created... The repercussions of which cannot be overstated and over time their own wages could be affected.

Whoop Becomes Title Sponsor of the UCI Mountain Bike World Series
Very exciting indeed, for a product I still don't know how / if / or for how much I'll be able to watch in Canada. What a flipping joke UCI is. They're not even trying to hide that they don't care about the actual sport and how or if they reach an audience. As long as broadcasting rights and sponsor deals go to the highest bidders. Who gives a rat's arse about the rest.
