Headshot Posted October 5, 2020 Share NMNM is not exactly dropper post territoryYup, they were just using them for show, and pleasing the sponsors of course. I'm craving AXS. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted October 5, 2020 Share Like if someone offered you an AXS 180 mm dropper post?hahaha The only bike my short stubby legs could run a 180mm dropper is the BMX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted October 5, 2020 Share How funny was Bart getting hooked on "those wider bars" when commentating on ERs win in the short track. It lasted into the mens race. HAs win was masterful. Got ahead at just the right time, let the rest bunch up behind, which is counter intuitive and then won the sprint with Nino having to tango with Vader and Co. Worlds are going to be interesting. I enjoyed seeing how many riders were using dropper posts. The old school straight leg descending technique is starting to stand out. Anne Terpstra, PFP and Avancini made good use of theirs. His masterful stroke was holding back and seeing which side of the dual track they chose. He then selected the easier/longer track and put hammer down. The emotion at the end was great to see.

Stretch Posted October 7, 2020 Share Genuine question here....I noticed Avancini wears his marathon world champs stripes on his kit while racing XC... Why would Alan Hatherly not be entitled to wear his ebike stripes? Or would he and he just chooses not to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Alan Hatherly not be entitled to wear his ebike stripes? Or would he and he just chooses not to?I was also thinking about that the other day. It threw me a bit and I was trying to recall when he was XCO World champ. I thought that past and current World champ/national champ stripes can only be worn on kit during the event of the same format you won them in?

Was also thrown when I saw that. A quick Google and this guy seems to think you can't. Would be interesting to find the real answer... Anyone feel like a Google session?
