Probably just taking photos off the net for scamming purposes?

Dang UK boys let me down that round. I should have gone the sensible route and filled up my team with Frenchies. Well done to MrBurger for winning that round.

"What about Lousa? Don't hold your breath. Yesterday the Portuguese Government announced that gatherings will be limited to five people following the resurgence of COVID infections across Europe. The measures will come into force on Thursday and, with rounds three and four of the World Cup series scheduled to happen in two weeks' time in Lousa, it looks increasingly likely that Maribor will now start and end the World Cup season."

BikeHub league for Round 3, stoked to take the win. Trummer & Nicole got me 200 points each, Williamson-115 & B. Pierron-80. Sad to have to sub out Hoell with a broken ankle & Harrison with a broken hand ahead of Maribor this weekend. This also pushes me into 29th position globally. Though I think many gave up when the Trivia rounds came along.

What is the RRP on a set of M1900's?

Touch VPN Chrome extension set to France seems to work. Can't comment on the download speed though.

Fantasy league sitting at 1 & 3 for the ladies and 19, 23, 28 & 66 for the men.

Just dropped in for round 2...and takes 55th spot. 20 seconds up on Velasco and 22 seconds back on Minnaar. Saffa boys did us proud

And it looks like he just did it again, by 1 second. What a legend.

Theo was having a solid run. Looks like he crashed in the last section of track.

I meant the first guy to drop in, Tenev the Bulgarian got passed by 3 riders. Sharjah did well, only 10 seconds behind Niko Velasco (looks like Niko lost almost 10 seconds before the first split though).

Garlicki didn't start. Warrappen?

Passed by 3 riders, shame.

Sharjah dropping

Looks like the first elite is about to get over taken by the second, Pedro Burns.

Quali's are happening today: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/qualifying-start-lists-leogang-dh-world-champs-2019.html If the race gets cancelled due to snow, the the qualifying results will become the final results

Check Wyn's track walk. Sounds like Greg and Remi are the only two guys amped on the steep sloppy gnar.

I've got Greg on my team, haha. Let's see what happens. Not so sure that the rest of my team are that well acquainted with the mud. I'll post my team here once substitutions are locked.

To fix the glazed pads, take them out and sand them down on a flat surface until they're not shiny anymore. Then put them back in and bed in as above. Dry lube shouldn't get onto the disc. Although when scrubbing my cassette clean, I always clean the disc with brake cleaner after. Mechanics are rushing to get bikes serviced and out the door. Time is money. Also pretty hard to notice the alignment issue visually. Assuming you have resin pads, if you have any brake squeal then the caliper is probably not aligned. For metalic pads, if your brakes squeal in dry & clean conditions then maybe they're not aligned? If none of this helps, upload a photo of the bike, brake lever, caliper and disc & maybe include your weight. Or just go with the most probable clause and get the system bled.

1) There is air in the hydraulic system. Get the brakes bled. 2) You didn't bed in the new pads by squirting some water on them and doing a few hard brakes, so the pad surface may have become glazed over. 3) You're contaminating the disc & pads with whatever you're putting on the drivetrain. 4) Caliper is not 100% aligned. 5) You need larger discs and/or more powerful brakes for your weight/terrain/riding style. What brakes do you have? 6) Could be a manufacturing fault with the seals. Do you see fluid leaking at either end?

I had the sickest team selected at the beginning of the season, and all 6 of them are attending. Stoked.

DH Fantasy League reminder.

Am I the only one frothing for a 34T paired with Shimano's 12s 10-45 cassette? The easiest gear is close enough (a touch easier) than my 32T-42t 11 speed, which can be hard work at times but that only makes you stronger.
