Tech Randoms: Lenzerheide DH World Cup 2022
Because after the last race, racers travel home with their bikes and the mechanics go back to their own homes. The two are often not together. The races are when they are both in the same place at the same time and that's when the mechanics get to fix everything that the racers have done to their bikes since they were last together.

Review: 12 Months With the EXT Era Fork
Ok, so you the currency converter done at the time of typing, but they buy from Europe at a different time and different rate. Since Alba is a distribution center (and not a company subsidiary) you need to factor in shipping to North America, import duties and warehouse costs. That their price is higher than a simple currency converter shouldn't be surprising.

Final Overall Standings for the 2021 DH World Cup Season
@FuzzyL: The only way to win the overall is to have the most points by the end of the season. That's it. Sometimes it's a sh*t show up until the very end, sometimes someone runs away with it. Your assessment that Vali didn't "bring it together anywhere besides Snowshoe" is BS because that includes a 2nd place & a 3rd place. Myriam had crashes. Vali had crashes. That's racing. But Vali had a better overall season and that's why she is the women's World Cup Overall winner. If anything, this season shows that Vali has the mental fortitude to comeback and overcome, which, in my opinion, is more impressive than starting out strong but not being able to finish it.

And they tested a new Specialized rear tire at VDS too. Something new in the works there.

Bike Check: Finn Iles' Custom Specialized Demo - Leogang World Cup 2021
it's more likely the case that Specialized doesn't see a decent enough ROI for the cost of carbon molds on a category of bike that sees very little sales. They were one of the first brands to do a carbon frame in DH and if they see that it will be worth their time, effort, and money, I am sure they will make a carbon Demo again.

Track Walk Photo Epic: Shock to the System - Leogang DH World Champs 2020
I rode the new section of track a few weeks ago when it was dry. It's definitely the steepest thing I have ever ridden.

I can't imagine riding this in the slop...
