I'm not saying they'll race them, but they've been testing them all week.
Also, did you notice the wind at Lourdes when the Syndicate lads had their race runs?

You reckon the bigger wheels will act like sails and end up with them flying off into the sunset like a kid's balloon?
I assume he's suggesting that the racing may be cancelled due to high winds, not that the high winds would dictate the wheel size they run !

Shameless plug for Rob's new brewery located 3.8 km from the trailhead.
Had a pale and a porter a few days ago, more beers coming.
Both were lovely.

I'll be checking this out, might even arrange to meet you there and say G'day.
He'll take some beating this year regardless of what bike he's on.
I'm very interested to see if any teams that run the bigger wheels for a while go back to smaller wheels for performance sake.
Same here. If you watched xc a few years back when 29 first came in they changed wheel sizes depending on course and conditions. Remember a bloke at cairns switching back to a 26 for quicker acceleration in the slop.
He lost btw.

I'm certainly not against the debut of the 29er, but I do think if a rider/team chooses to run the big or not so big wheels, they should race them the whole season and accept any downfalls along with the advantages. it seems only fair against other teams/riders that don't have the backing to produce multiple frame options to choose from given different tracks and conditions.

the world needs rules man, rules to stick by and to makes things fair....
I wee'd on Binner while he was asleep once. He woke up later, he knew the smell was urine and he knew it was on him. Aside from doing a DNA test, he had no way of knowing who actually wee'd on him. He took no prisoners and took everyone in the room down. Be careful near that guy, he's an animal and putting your hand in his mouth may end badly. :behindsofa:

It's probably lucky for you that I'll be in the middle of the Canada when you're in Whistler, I'd piss on you again. :laugh:
I went with the choice of Greg Minaar winning Fort Wiliam last year and I'm going the same pick again this year. He'll be closely followed by Gwin and Hart, all within a second of each other is what my crystal ball is saying.

Rach just posted that Gee Dislocated his hip at Fort William, which is unfortunate to say the least
Ah shit, me fears the end is nigh for Gee. He's had his fair share of stacks and that is affecting his results big time. He's still totally pinned but is he quick enough for World Cup results? I say yes, he's most certainly in the game but for how long?
