    Qualifying is just live timing, you can't see the runs. Bodhi Kuhn finished 2nd in the juniors, and only 2 seconds off the dry winning time.sounds like it would have been a classic if we got to see it...

    DH World Cup thread

    Gcn+ app is terrible on my firestick, I'm plugging the laptop into my TV to watch it. Agree it's taken a step back from Redbull coverage. There's huge pauses in the commentary, they always seem to miss the split times or have images on team managers halfway through someone's run! Half of the...

    Jackson's 'chilled' course preview was pretty mental Rain and wind has stopped play in the men's juniors for now, might mix up the elite quali's a bit!

    2024 Strive:ON

    Check the rims are dished correctly. Do you have equal spacing to both fork legs and seatstays?

    Gym goers, need some advice - arm pump

    Watching that, I'd be tempted to try and drop your lever angle slightly, and possibly move them slightly closer to the grips. It looks like you might be dropping your elbows to compensate for the lever angle? It also looks like your fully extending your braking finger, if you can bring the...

    DH World Cup thread

    Yeah not keen on Ric replacing Rob at all, there's definately something missing from his hype on commentary... Some great racing from the juniors though, it's a nice addition and good that they are showing it for free! Rach 2nd in quali's!! Men going down the hill now :cool:

    Gym goers, need some advice - arm pump

    If your bikes setup well it's probably just too much training without chance to fully recover. Should get easier with time. I used to really struggle on long descents if I'd been climbing the day before. Try not to deathgrip the bars. If there's an easy section of trail/fireroad mid descent I...

    Bit of rain yesterday gave some tricky conditions for everyone, looked like it dried up by the end of the day but there's a chance of more rain... Juniors race today. 1:15pm for girls and 2pm for boys (UK time I think!) Will be shown live here https://www.youtube.com/@uci_mtbworldseries

    Gouges on frame

    Cable ties and brake/cable hoses can be bad when they rub against carbon/alloy. I try and do the above or slap some heli tape on to protect the frame. I wouldn't worry about your frame looking at those photo's though, it looks cosmetic.

    Rail (625Wh) Mino Link vs longer stroke shock?

    Get some GoPro footage up when the new bike is built up, would be good to see the trails in your part of the world! :)

    MAX. POWER ON Motor Bosch Performance Line CX - Smart System 85 Nm

    I'm going to assume thats rider power. You can test it out by doing a gentle pedal but using turbo to see if it shows a higher wattage.

    MAX. POWER ON Motor Bosch Performance Line CX - Smart System 85 Nm

    Is this motor power or rider power? I don't have the smart system but my display shows me rider input in Watts. The Bosch motor can give peak power around 600w for info. I think your issue is unrelated to what you are seeing and should be going back to Bosch for more diagnostics if not resolved.

    Dry weather tyres

    I would probably recommend those tyres or similar for that sort of mixed terrain. I spent a fair bit of time riding the same stuff last year and it took a bit of time to get used to if you are used to the UK softer loamy trails that usually have some level of moisture in the ground.

    Eurosport are showing the DH on Monday, not live on Sunday. Looks like my graphic above is wrong.

    Need help deciding on a reliable motor.

    @Bearing Man Do you think this water is always getting in through the crank seals? Have you seen any evidence of water getting in through the casing gaskets or anywhere else?

    Rail (625Wh) Mino Link vs longer stroke shock?

    65deg HA here and haven't died yet... ;) Irie changing the mino link will only change the HA from 64.5 to 64.9deg, pretty much in the region most ESW riders like to have their bikes setup at. I wouldn't call their terrain boring personally...
