So when do they start adding little aero wings on the front mud guard ? I think that's why some teams run mud guards, add a little downforce on the front
Love that Jessy mounts a chain guide on his chainring. Might want to be extra safe despite the hypes surrounding the Transmission after what had happened to Koretzky and allegedly the same to Nino's partner in the Cape Epic.
That is actually a good question. Many pro riders use the 471 instead of 511, even in downhill they use the 471. But the question is why. (Sorry for not answering your question 😅😂)
@@DarkKnight0183 If that works for you. 25mm width rims is another case of "things the pros do that might not be great for amateur riders", the narrower width does reduce overall grip, there's a reason why 30mm has become the de facto standard width for most amateur riders and a lot of pros, it's the happy meduim between response vs stability.
In other words: nothing has really changed. Minion since god knows when, DT 471 rims that are already a decade old, dropper, riserbar, 1x drivetrain and some discbrakes.
@@Daffy0208 🤣 he makes a good point though. I guarantee the bikes from 3-5 years ago in almost all disciplines could give modern bikes a run for their money under top level athletes. I cant deny its interesting to see the differences between riders though
@sufyanm4661 yeah ... I do get it, but there's only so much you can do without fundamentally changing what a bike is. I'd say that was one of the biggest drivers of emtbs, you could argue that all the development has gone to emtbs, and that's because they can make fundamental changes and improvements. Belt drives, gearboxes, electronic shifting, live ride (or whatever Fox call it) on the fly suspension adjustment, they're all things that can be on normal bikes but most of those are more suitable for emtbs. The question should be what were you expecting? And what would like to see changing on bikes? Until then ... the offer of hugs still stands. I hold them just long enough till its awkward. 🤣
@coenmtb for the hug? No need ... I'll be passing through next month in the campervan heading to Germany for the Euros, with the bikes of course. So no flight required ... just a bit of patience. However in the meantime I can send a virtual hug. 🏴❤️🏴
The UCI is fully dominated by ageing road riders to maximise the amount of money and attention paid to lucra clad road racing. Those commissars get off on being in full control. They certainly don't want us to see mountain biking and get excited. It's OK to have overwhelming blanket coverage of the Giro, Tour, and Vuelta and all the other road racing season extravaganzas. But those bastards want to maximise their income and minimise the enjoyment of MTB.
