Video: Getting to the Bottom of the Unconventional Gamux DH Prototype

I just can't understand why Reece uses the reasons he uses to argue for what he does: - not using countersunk holes and bolts for more safety and looks? he said they are to expensive? well, shouldn't go for super expensive bolts on a one of bike. - not going for flat pedal shoes because they are to heavy? Maybe get rid of 2 3mm Aluminium plates on the bike to save weight? But otherwise doing absolutely everything to open every door and want to be as fast and good as possible? I just don't get a lot of things all around the pits, but jesus this is insane. Just say "i wanted to try." period. no other reasoning needed. u don't have to explain anything here.

Andorra World Cup Schedule Changed to Avoid Predicted Electrical Storms

I have an idea, maybe it catches on: Make start intervals 30s instead of 3min30s. Maybe weather does not affect the track to much in a shorter period of time. just saying

Review: Pivot Phoenix - Easily Accessible DH Speed

Suspension Design: "..... The benefit here is that the rear shock won’t extend under braking ....." so it gets hard and hardtail like under breaking? interesting Also why is there no review and kinematics cycle through going full bottom out on the shock? seems like the bottom out is nearly impossible to reach.
