Track walk

This jump was left out of the IXS Cup but it is in for the World Cup. It's quite big and the speed coming in is hard to carry, so not everyone is feeling too confident here just yet.

The chicken run looks inviting but still a gap to clear...

Track looks awesome... How's that rock garden!.... And that jump.. Wow

[Stretch]

Redbull.... Thanks for all your do.... But **** off with this 3 minute limit for outside content providers please. What a bunch of douches. That's gonna impact on my two favourite parts of the weekend..cathrovision.... And Wynn's videos

What's crap is that both WynTV and Finn Iles' videos of the trackwalk were wayyyyy over 3min. So ******* stoopid from RB.

This was discussed by one of the content creators before.

 

It worked out to that you could create a half hour clip if you wanted to, just that the content of the actual course has to be limited to 3min.

I hope Gwin can decide on which size frame to use... he says he's in-between sizes and will use a different size based on the weather / track conditions. XL for dry, L for wet.

 

I don't think the 29er suits him as well as a 650b, but we'll see this weekend.

Seems it's been changed. 

 

Video content recorded at the venue has to be limited to 3min. 

 

Watch Cathro's video and you'll see what I'm talking about. 

[Stretch]

And what's ben talking about mixed wheel sized bikes?... Was he joking.. Or is that legit? I'm a bit out of touch at the minute

[Hairy]

will take a look later!

Yip. The UCI have scrapped the mixed-wheel size rule, so riders can now run bikes with mixed wheel sizes. Hart and a couple of others are on Frankenwheelers.

is Hart not challenged in the height dept vs Mr Minn 

650b rear and 29 front , give roll over and snappy rear end 

 

best of both or worst of both depending what you're preffred style is 

 

 

greg is flying on 29's but I think Hart is suited to smaller wheels ( rumors he's also riding mixed size wheels AFAIK )

[MrJacques]

According to Google:

 

Danny is 178cm (same as Gwin)

 

Greg is 191cm.

 

So the larger frame and bigger wheels makes sense for Greg. But there is also riding style to take into account. Cathro did a test recently of 27.5 vs 29er which was interesting.

Remember the days when there was a joke about a mixed wheel sized bike.... How times have changed...

[Odinson]

So, who's brave enough to reveal their fantasy team? 

[Headshot]

There are a few teams on mixed wheel sizes. Spez have a new Demo with 29 in front. Danny is on mixed sizes and Maes was enduroing on a mixed up bike. Valli Holl who is not tall is on a 29er so I'm sure Hart could cope. Rachel is also. 

 

My team is a mish mash of up and coming talent with one old dog as in Bulldog. My big money is on Tanhee. I hope she's sandbagging a bit. Her insta pic in the new kit shows some bulging muscles, so here's hoping :-)
