If they wait that long there will be many many more nails in their coffin for the trail bike market. They need a GXeagle competitor like 12 months ago. Waiting to open up the freehub and waiting to trickle down to XT and SLX will not help them.

I have no issue with the new standard. I can see why they have decided to not use the SRAM XD Driver. Every major hub manufacture should have had CAD files to this new design in their inbox weeks ago and Shimano encouraging them to get them into production.

If they don't open up that new freehub body asap it will be their biggest blunder in decades.

3 aluminum rotor bolts ftw. Tons of strategic sanding on those carbon bars. Carbon bars are THE BEST spot ever to try and shave some grams. ;)

38 grams???? So heavy.

Sign me up for this mythical 11-48 that is lighter and cheaper than the alternatives.

The opposite of an all carbon build, as much ti as you can possibly get.

Who will make you some custom ti rims????

We have had to turn people away at the first 4 Fivers. If you show up before 6pm you should be good to get a spot.

You line up with the pre-paid / have chip and we'll give you your new chip.

Everyone needs to stop at the sign in table at the start of each Fiver to "tag in" and again at the end to "tag out". So no just heading off to the start of stage one then heading off home.

The way the system works the little blue units write a each stage start and finish time on your chip, we then scan the chip at the end to get your times. If you don't come back to the timing table at the finish we don't have your times and we still think you are lost in the forest as we have not tagged you out.

This is the fist time we ever had to turn people away.

Beyond 200 people and it's just too many people. Time to get people through the course and through the lines at apres...beyond 200 registered riders and it doesn't work in our format.

I am bummed to have to turn people away, usually the first two of the season are the biggest turn out, we shouldn't have issues with the rider cap beyond them.
