About the "hate": Wasn't the the forbidden engenier working for norco before and trying to design a short travel high pivot bike but got shut. So he swapped brands or released his own with forbidden. Cant remember. Was 2017 or 18.
Owen Pemberton, CEO/Founder/Designer at Forbidden Bikes, came from Norco.
I don't really understand how he keeps getting good rides, guess that's what happened when Martin is in your corner
Angel's 22 season was pretty damn good:
14, 10, 3, 16, 7, 60, 31
17th overall....
Id day that's bona fides enough to end up on a made at home bike...I guess I don't at all understand your comment. What are these great bikes he keeps landing on?

Angel Suarez has fantastic technique and can hold some pretty insane pace. I think he's been on some higher-profile teams because people who know bike racing can see that this guy has potential. That said, his career in the elite field is entering its 10th season, and it hasn't been a smooth decade. Out of 59 Elite World Cup / World Champ registrations he has missed 19 to DNS/F/Q. First top-ten in his 4th season, and his first podium in his 8th season.
Good riders to compare him to would be Mark Wallace and Benoit Coulanges, who each entered Elite in the same cohort as Suarez. Wallace has had a more dominant and consistent career that has seen him notch 14 Elite top-tens to Suarez's 10 but has also seen a decline since the 2021 season. Coulanges and Suarez have had similarly gradual careers, each only managing podiums by their 8th season, but Coulanges has showcased a higher ceiling and greater top-ten dominance (16 career).
He is still easily a World Cup-caliber racer who deserves a ride, with the bonus of being the fastest Spaniard of the last decade. Spain is a sizeable market for mountain bikes, so signing their practically unchallenged national champion is a great move.

There’s a post by Mondraker New Zealand of Brook MacDonald just shredding a corner, posted about a day ago. Is it possible Brook is joining a team with Mondraker frames ?
Someone else commented but it's really crazy how when you click this thread from your reminders/notifications tab, it won't load. But if you got to it via the Forums link, loads instantly.

Yes, it was me. At that point it was taking over 20 seconds to load, now it won't load at all through notifications and I can't even mark things as read. I've also noticed the tech rumours thread seems to be taking longer to load when clicking on notifications now as well.

@DH_Speedster already posted about that. Maybe you both are correct and I was wrong. Mondraker tagging him in a post definitely changes the perspective.
Anyway, Bulldog is rippin the foxy in his last posts - would love to see more of this!

Smart move on his part.

Bex on a Canyon... Borrowed or Hers 🤔
It’s Phoebe Gale’s
Am I the only one who doesn’t care at all about Bex. She doesn’t have a ride, let’s leave it at that.

His 2023 season puts him in 33.
5 commençal mucoff riders? Who's on marzocchi? 🤔🤔
That happens when you’re injured for most of the season
Veeerrrrry diverse setup!?
sram Brakes
Fox suspension
Raceface and Shimano Drivetrain.
it all makes sense besides the brakes, they must really dislike the shimanos 😂
Gwin to Frameworks… and his own program.
...his own program?
Only if Aaron Gwin's program is that of not having a program.
Timing is everything
Tuhoto’s in LA, MS Intense confirmed?
YT are in cali for a media shoot this week
MS Racing's head mechanic also posted that he was in LA. Coincidence.
New YT def is still Horst link.
Whose bike is this?
sian a‘hern‘s

Would it help if we started referring to her as “The Baraoness”?
