Bike Check: Henrique Avancini's Caloi Elite FS
Not enough hype about his BERD Spokes!!! H.A. hands selects all the components and he chooses BERD Spokes?!! Smart man!! I was wondering when WC teams would wise up and catch the BERD Flu...

First Look: Bluegrass' New Vanguard Lightweight Full Face Helmet
Can we get a helmet manufacturer that makes a helmet that falls within 61-65?? I'm sorry buy my big azz head and long hair do not fair well with most L or XL helmet. I'm always limited out half the time with the dials. Give me something I can put on and crank down a few clicks to give me a "Custom" fit. Please. Thank you.

ah never mind. From Scotts website, the twinlock can actuate a cable dropper...But its interesting to see him going back to a cable dropper (if that is what he has on his bike, from one angle it looks like he has 3 cables coming from his lockout) when he's been racing the axs dropper on numerous occasions...

Nino's dropper post isn't the usual sram axs post?! Is he on some Scott twinlock-lever actuated cable post or is this some new axs dropper?!!

UCI Mountain Bike World Series Partners with WHOOP for Live Biometric Data
Analyzing someone's HR data after a race isn't going to do much for you. What you could correlate from comparing someone's data to your own is, maybe you should of done more base training and over/unders this off season?! Plus whoop doesn't pull power data which is what everyone cares about. Until we can have everyone pricking their fingers each lap, wearing a VO2 masks, wearing an "ACCURATE" hr monitor (I think whoops kinda suck), maybe some muscle biopsies post race and maybe some pych evals to determine who stressed they were pre race, at the end of the day whoever wins wins because they have the right genetics, the right training, the right team, ect ect. Too many variables to monday morning quarterback...But I'm all for data. Data is cool. Data is also useless unless you know how to read it and use it...

Berd Bring Their String Spoke Technology to New Hubs
@andrewfrauenglass:
Are you doing bigger jumps than Barry Nobel? Maybe watch his review video below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKYIQACqgqw
Also, a little lesson on material properties, a berd spoke will out perform any metal spoke in tensile strength, hands down. When you land to flat, you are putting your spokes into either compression or tension. Once again, a metal spoke will not out perform a polymer spoke in this test.
But keep believing what you want. Don't let 5G get you down...

Berd Bring Their String Spoke Technology to New Hubs
@andrewfrauenglass: Naw man, I have a set of their wheels and live in the Iron-Range of northern Minnesota where sharp rocks are aplenty...I'm going on 3 seasons now with the same wheels, zero issues. Idk maybe I've gotten lucky but they've taken many rocks to the spokes and zero signs of losing a spoke. Also did Breck Epic last summer and CO rocks couldn't phase them either...Breck Epic did claim one of my buddies DTswiss spokes on his wheels tho...

Berd Release 1400 Gram Enduro Ready String-Spoke Wheelset
I raced Breck Epic this year on their T27's and my other two teammates had the HAWK27's...ZERO issues. I've had rocks hit my spokes, I've smacked rim to rock numerous times, zero issues. They're dope AF. Believe the hype.
