The shock appears to be oriented differently in each of his blacked out pictures. I really have no idea what to believe at this point, so I guess I'll have to subscribe to his channel...hooked!

The unannounced rider I'm most curious about is Phil Atwill. GT with Wyn? He got a mention on Wyn's IG lately.
I'd say its mostly because they probably ride together a lot, Phil moved back to UK and Wyn moved there as well ( if I'm not mistaken). Lets be honest, Phil on Cathros team would be amazing, if that plan ever turns out to be!

I know this has been posted here before, but if you look at the strut/rocker link above the BB junction closely actually looks like there's nothing there and he's just been trolling old pictures of his forbidden bikes. At this point I'd say he could be going anywhere and these pictures are just him f***ing with us.

I don‘t understand this huge hype about Lewis Buchanan. Probably he posts this hints by himself.

I think the reason I found out about him was because of the Forbidden - not the other way around Smile

I get that he’s not one of the top 20 all star racers but I think he gained a lot of popularity during the beginning of the pandemic with his YouTube channel. His original videos were sick and had lots of racing/training insight but now he’s fallen into a hole of clickbait for views.

Didn't he badmouth Corsair when he left and did the same again with Evil? Don't get me wrong, he might have legitimate concerns here, but if you are doing this every time you change sponsors then it is a little weird.
He also had legitimate reasons too when they promised him xyz and didn't even receive x. Who knows about YT.
If I was in the marketing dept or a team manager for a bicycle brand I wouldn’t touch Zink with a 10ft pole.

Edited: because this isn’t PB and I don’t personally know the guy. And as for Alex Pro, I did some stupid shit as an intoxicated 19 year old myself

Alright let's just end the Zink off-topic. I feel kind of bad now having fueled the discussion. Zink is still a legend, hope he'll be on a good ride for 2021 and show the kids how it is done next Rampage.

Looks like the sneaky YT suggestion held true! Should be fun to watch, Dak can shred with the best of 'em

Yeah, just saw that. Given the recycling potential and more sustainable carbon manufacturing it fits with Yoann's mantra.

Definitely. It is one of the main reasons for me personally to go with one of their frames. I think it is a great fit and I am looking forward to his upcoming projects with them. Really stoked for G.G. to step up and get a brand ambassador of his caliber to help promote the brand and its ethos.

Nice! That said, I was really holding out hope for a Grim Donut thing to work out.

But that's a Sram shifter, so it's hard to imagine they would go Shimano.
