Elite Finals Results from the Fort William DH World Champs 2023
@Saucycheese: don‘t put words in my mouth - never said that they are not capable - they made it down that track and quite so.

@Saucycheese: well they are not racing „with“ men are they? They race on the same track. If they were racing with men, then Vali would have barely made top50. That could also be seen as degrading.

Elite Finals Results from the Fort William DH World Champs 2023
@tigerfish50: Well in essence that's exactly my point. Like in alpine skiing - race courses for female athlets are a lot different compared to the ones men race - to accommodate for the differences and still deliver a great race to watch. I don't think it's too far fetched to say, that if the women could race on adapted courses, than MORE women would race WC-DH, and not just a handful (competition anyone...?).

I‘m still a bit in disbelieve. Even though very single female pro rider has at least ten times my riding skill on a bad day, how can it be that nearly all male riders are faster down that track - in the wet and with crashes - than the females in the dry?! :0

Why Shorter Cranks Are Better (According To Science)
Few years back I switched to 180mm cranks. Wouldn’t go back. Never. 175 or even 172.5 now feel just wrong and toy-like. Oh, did I mention that I’m 198cm tall?

Review: The Geometron G1 is Designed to Be Future-Proof & Adapatable
Been riding the Mojo G13 for 5 years now (alongside a custom 190x55 DHX2) and I can honestly say, that's all the bike I'll ever need - 2 trips to Whistler and no issues what so ever.

Thought Experiment: What Would It Take to Build a Sub-7kg Mountain Bike Using Only Stock Parts?
I'd be interested in what's possible with out using any carbon parts. Because you can't recycle carbon, it'll end up in a land fill.
