Looks like SRAM is serious about 650B, bringing a wheelset and suspension components to the party.

What do you think?

I think it's dispensable marketing crap. It looks weird and I won't buy it.

The beauty of having choices is that you don't have to buy it. Even if it is pretty dang fun to ride.

Will it be possible to watch the racing live on redbull/freecaster sort of thing?

I want to see an updated version of slalom like this:

Those bikes are atrocious. We have come so far.

Funny thing about that pic is Palmer spraying him. If I were him, that pic would be on the wall next to the one of my wedding.

looking at the DH results, looks like elliot jackson worked on his pedaling in the off season.

[b.utters]

Also looks like Hill and Brosnan cruised the race. Both outside the top 40.

You can also see the advantage the small travel bikes had. Gracia on 8. is the first with a full dh rig and considering how much he wants it these days I'm sure it slowed him down.
