Women's race was the best XCO race I have ever watched. 

Said the same thing to Jolanda on Twitter, an absolute nail-biter from start to finish. I congratulated her on a hard fought and well deserved win and she 'liked' my tweet. Made my day. :)

The women's race was awesome

 

The men's race was mainly a study in Avancini's custom Scalpel. I couldn't stop drooling ???? ????

I have not followed the whole season in great detail.

Besides flat tires/punctures, I did notice some drive chain issues too.

 

Is the problem 1 x related or manufacturer related?

 

Weren't chain problems meant to be a thing of the past with 1 by?

Apparently?

Scott mechanic said the chain snapped because the forgot to use a new quick link some time ago.

It is with SRAM 1x11 and 1x 12 Eagle

 

But things do break sometimes. wolftooth and Absolute black chainrings seems to retain the chain better hence all my pals still using Shimano have ditched the OEM NW chainrings for WT or AB. That’s their feedback. I’ve used SRAM exclusively since going 1x .

 

Conditions were muddy so anything is possible when you throw mud into a drivetrain
