A Closer Look at Hope & Zerode's Updated Gearbox Drivetrain
So if it's a faff, why have a derailleur on a "normal" bike? The pulley is for tension, just like on a derailleur. Creating the tension requires some form of resistance, be it a torsion spring in a derailleur, or a compression spring on Rob's bikes. I always thought the "hair band" Rob has was a bit "we're making a bodge on the bike else we're going to be stuck out the back of Riverhead forest".

Finals Photo Epic: 2025 Lake Placid DH World Cup
@gregnangatang: I never said Robs wasn't a Giant. I used to have a picture on my wall of Rob on the Giant at Kaprun. Next to one of Tomac in his all black skin suit on his Giant at Mammoth Mountain.

@Mtn-Goat-13: Because it was an Intense M1, not a Giant. There were lots of re-badged Intense M1's in that period.

Except Womens Elite XCO, or Mens Elite DH, or Womens Elite DH... Guess "everything" is very selective.

XC Team Relay Results from the 2025 XC World Championships
Fastest lap to Sam Gaze.
As he's not commentating I wonder if Ric missed saying "the big Sam Gaze something something big bike something something big speed something something"
