2021 World Cup Downhill discussion

Yeah 150 rear, forks lowered to 160mm I believe.

Why wouldn't you single crown at 160?

They’re 154mm stock, but likely a little more in his case. From memory on Forbidden Owners FB page the Synthesis team have been messing around with custom linkages to eke out a little more travel until the DH bike arrives.

Some owners have had success been Druid Cascade link for similar effect.

Missing the first one at least. Then probably out of form for the second. Hopefully not.

IIRC it's a long gap between races so fingers crossed. That said, surely he will be down on strength and fitness after a long layoff so you can imagine this year might be a bit of a write off for Troy. Sucks big time.

He was moving when he hit the deck!
The slam into the tree wouldn't have tickled

He’s a tough cookie. Looks he was all ‘where’s my bike? Wait, I can’t walk’

 

[moorey]

Would have been a tight race. Was watching all the splits as they came down. Connor might have had the goods regardless, I reckon. Lost a little at the bottom, but had the edge up top. Either way, gutted for Troy, fully stoked for Connor.

Pinkbike comment section with the scoop. Verified Connor Fearon flagged for bike doping.

I’m sure there were many ‘losers’ running HP commencals and Norco’s.

Fuckers.

If they have commentators like eurosport had back when you had a choice between eurosport and freecaster I'll definitely not be paying for it.

My deep dislike for UCI only gets deeper.

Hopefully they keep it live, as I have tried to watch the Enduro series and it was jus highlights crammed into 30-40 minutes

Live is definitely partly what makes DH awesome to watch I reckon
