On a recent interview, Sam Hill mentioned that he used the Mega for EWS round 1 and the Giga for EWS round 2 (both setup as mullets). He will then decide after round 2 on which bike he will be riding for the remainder of the season.
To be honest, I am genuinely interested to know which bike he will pick.

You sure the mega was setup as mullet as well? Let's see what he does, I'm curious as well
On Jesse’s Instagram post yesterday his rotors looked different. I think a photo of similar shimano rotors were posted a few days ago. They are the same rotor as current centerlock Freeza XTR rotors, but with the curved rotor carrier of 6 bolt saint/see rotors.
My theory is either a 6 bolt version of the current XTR, or an updated rotor for upcoming Saint. If you can buy them in 220, I think they’ll be popular.

Probably says charger 3 or something like that…

Found on German mtb-news.de in a gallery from the Les Gets WC.
Apparently Charger 3 it is.
It is normal, which is kind of massive (46mm in the lowers for 29er)
Current Boxxer 29er can choose 46mm or 56mm offset - the lower casting is the same for both and they achieve the offset difference in the upper crowns.

All very well with DH head angles. If Enduro DC forks are going to be a thing we'll need much lower offset in the castings. Partly for steering lock - offset in the crowns gives more room, and partly to get down to the 37mm offset people are wanting.
Did anyone see the offset of the Formula DC prototype?

Who is wanting 37 for 29er. I’ve mostly seen 42 for 29er and 37 on some (but not most) 27.5.

46 steers noticeably differently than 42, and having fewer castings stops the price climbing too far. So much cheaper & easier to adjust offset with crowns.

I have both 51 and 42mm offset forks and the difference is at best vague at normal people speeds

...yeah yeah yeah. But there seems to be more strength to it at the moment. Apparently there's some pressure from manufacturers because they don't like using dot fluid on the bike assembly lines

And from years of experience of Hayes, avid and sram, DOT brakes fail as they get older at a much higher rate. Old pairs of mineral oil brakes, even cheap ones? Bleed it and it's good to go. Old dot brake? 25% chance you might be able to get it working.
By old I mean 7-10 years plus. I see an unfortunate amount of Hayes 9's every week which I promptly toss in the trash
