She’s getting an Orange DH bike. Can’t jump the sharkYou can only have so many banshee's I guess. Time for a Orange or a Yeti. An 11kg bike is a great bike target weight for the young lady.

Is she too tall for those little Norco duallieeeeeeyzzz? I've seen a few junior kids out on them recently and they look like a sweet bike. Though 24 inch I think and $$$$$.She doesn’t need a second banshee...just something up to 10yo in short travel I can keep under 11kg with her current parts. You know I love me a banshee, but it’s not a girls XC racer.
Totes. She’s been on 26” for 4 years. Her XS is getting too short. Feels very comfortable on an older M Superlight, but a more modern S would be perfect.Is she too tall for those little Norco duallieeeeeeyzzz?

8/9. Was on a 26 ht before that. It’s now with @slider_philHow tall was she when your daughter started riding that Avanti?
I agree with the limitations on those 24 inch bikes, but nobody males money out of products that can be upgraded and used for years on end...
If that frame is approaching obsolescence some time soon there Phil, I would like to form a line...8/9. Was on a 26 ht before that. It’s now with @slider_phil
Still a few years from reaching that limit with the current 8 year old. He's also got a little sister 4 years younger that's been inheriting all his old bikes so it might be a little while yetIf that frame is approaching obsolescence some time soon there Phil, I would like to form a line...
Well there goes my rant about gym wankers hogging the weights area.My daughter trains and competes with a small local gymnastics club, has done for eight years now maybe even more, so they are all like a little family. Over the last twelve months they've had one of the girls injure herself and is now a paraplegic, one girl who lost her father to suicide and now this month another girl just lost her father to cancer, one more whose mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and the head coach had to have open heart surgery after a heart attack. So much sadness to bear on their little shoulders.
Heavy times for kids to deal with. It's hard enough facing that stuff as an adult.My daughter trains and competes with a small local gymnastics club, has done for eight years now maybe even more, so they are all like a little family. Over the last twelve months they've had one of the girls injure herself and is now a paraplegic, one girl who lost her father to suicide and now this month another girl just lost her father to cancer, one more whose mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and the head coach had to have open heart surgery after a heart attack.

There is even more than that, including:He has been having arguments with the mechanics, and the bosses for some time, because they simply can't get a good setup for him. He loved the BMC bikes and setup. They managed to build him a slick bit of kit.
Of course, he is also a fragile soul. Probably barracks for Port Adelaide, so an acquired brain injury cannot be ruled out.

Talking about the TdF, what the fuck?There is even more than that, including:
Mix the above into a big pile of shit and you get what happened on the day.
- The team have been promising that a custom skinsuit (remember he is the world champ in TT) and helmet for the next stage;
- The bike is slower and can't get the same position as previously on the BMC;
- Team sponsored wheels are slower, combined with the frame and position, he was looking at a lose of 40sec for the stage;
- Was in the break on the stage and team called him back so as to "focus" on the next stage;
- Known to be OCD like about his equipment;
- Known hothead with anger issues;
- Rumors about depression;
The fact both he and the team have not spoken further does hint at serious issues. However, neither party has come out and rubbished the other publicly.
The latest fall for Thomas in this year’s race came as he took a right hand bend after almost 50km of racing. “I just had one hand on the bars and the gears jumped and jammed and I got thrown off my bike on a corner,” he said.
